"Scheduled" and "controlled" are sometimes confused with "by prescription only".

Scheduled drugs are rated from I to V. These are drugs like Ritalin, oxycodone, methadone.

Schedule I are drugs that are only able to be used in research. PCP, heroin, LSD, marijuana.

If your neighborhood doctor has a DEA license it is II-V only.

That's why there is no such thing as "prescription medical marijuana".

You can obtain a "recommendation" from a doctor, but the patient must then find a "legal" dispensary.

If a doctor wrote a Rx for MJ, he'd be breaking Federal law.

With legal pot in CA and WA, this is a moot point.

Oops, my post omitted a line. Ritalin, oxycodone and methadone are schedule II. Legal to prescribe.

BUT, they require special prescription paper. They cannot be phoned in or faxed.

Needs to be a hard copy.
