Can a California pharmacy fill a controlled substance prescription written by an out of state prescriber for a patient that is a California resident?

California Code of Regulations section 1717(d), in accordance with Business and Professions Code section 4005(b), in general, allows written and oral prescriptions from out-of-state prescribers. Health and Safety Code 11164.1 allows Schedule CIII-V written by an out of state prescriber to be dispensed, but CII may not unless delivered to the California resident while out of state. Written controlled substance prescriptions must be on a form that meets the requirements for controlled substance prescriptions in the state in which it was prescribed. Pharmacies must verify the prescription. The pharmacist should use his or her best professional judgment when filling out-of-state prescriptions.
Looks like they can.
