§207 Restrictions on sales; written orders or prescriptions

Summary

People, companies, or their employees who owe permanent loyalty to the United States must not sell, give, or make available cocaine, morphine, opium, chloral hydrate, or products that contain them unless they have an original written order from a trusted doctor, dentist, or veterinarian. The order must be dated, signed, and show the name of the person for whom it is written (or, for animals, the type of animal). The seller must keep that order on file for three years, and the drug can only be made or given again after the first time if the original prescriber writes another order.
