4. An individual practitioner may not prescribe or dispense a controlled substance for such practitioner's personal use except in a medical emergency.
195.100. 1. It shall be unlawful to distribute any controlled substance in a commercial container unless such container bears a label containing an identifying symbol for such substance in accordance with federal laws.
