Check out the cast of characters who are allowed to write schedule II narcotics in various states:
NPs, PAs, naturopaths, homeopaths, pharmacists, psychologists, paramedics, optometrists

Meanwhile, physicians are regularly criticized for not exercising proper control over opioids, there's even talk about making MDs take extra training before writing schedule IIs. Yet in all this farce, we let everybody and their brother write for oxycontin.
What a joke!
