I am not a lawyer but I am pretty sure only licensed medical professionals can issue a prescription under California law. Therefore, by definition writing any prescription for anything to be filled by a pharmacist without a license is unlawful. It should at least be fraud.

I think physicians can do it too if they think the problem is psychosomatic.
