Section 28-4-155
Prescription to be based upon professional opinion of physician that alcohol will be used by patient for medicinal purposes.
No physician shall prescribe alcohol for any patient simply upon the affirmation or statement or promise of said patient that he will use the same for medicinal purposes, but the said prescription must be based upon the professional opinion of the physician after a careful examination of the person seeking the prescription and upon his opinion, derived from such examination, that the said party is bona fide applying for said alcohol to be used as a medicine and not as a drink or beverage.
