Dear President Park,

      Pursuant to NRS 228.150, you have requested an opinion from this office
regarding Nevada's pharmacy and controlled substance statutes, including Ne-
vada Revised Statutes (NRS) 453, 454 and 639. Specifically, you have asked
whether a licensed homeopathic physician, who is not otherwise licensed as an
allopathic or osteopathic physician in Nevada, may possess, administer, pre-
scribe, and dispense controlled substances and dangerous drugs under Nevada
law. This letter addresses that question.
