Description
Nevada Attorney General Opinion No. 2025-01 provides an official legal interpretation regarding how Nevada controlled substances law (including NRS 453) applies to singly licensed homeopathic physicians. The opinion discusses conditions/limitations for possession, administration, prescribing, and dispensing of controlled substances, including registration expectations (Nevada Board of Pharmacy controlled substances registration and DEA registration) and the limited scope tied to accepted homeopathic practice. Compliance impact: healthcare providers and compliance teams supporting homeopathic practice in Nevada should review the opinion for constraints and registration/oversight expectations when controlled substances are involved.
