 1           responsibility for the proper prescribing and

 3           prescribing practitioner, but a corresponding
 
 4           responsibility shall rest with the pharmacist who fills
 
 5           the prescription.  An order purporting to be a
 
 6           prescription issued not in the usual course of

19           narcotic drugs listed in any schedule for the purpose
 
20           of "detoxification treatment" or "maintenance
 
21           treatment".  Nothing in this section shall prohibit a

 5           dispense a substance included in schedule II, III, IV,
 
 6           or V for that individual practitioner's personal use,
 
 7           except in a medical emergency.
 
 8      (e)  Prescriptions for controlled substances shall be issued
 
 9 only as follows:
 
10      (1)  All prescriptions for controlled substances shall be
 
11           dated as of, and signed on, the day when the

19           A practitioner may sign a prescription in the same
 
20           manner as the practitioner would sign a check or legal
 
21           document (e.g., J.H. Smith or John H. Smith) and shall

10           adopted pursuant to this chapter.  A corresponding
