Examples of unlawful prescribing of controlled substances are presented. Some behaviors of persons illegitimately seeking controlled substances from prescribers are described. Strategies to lessen the possibility of prescriptions being altered are discussed. Federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to controlled substances are described.
