Cal. Penal Code § 377 — OF CRIMES AGAINST THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
Every person who, in order to obtain for himself or another any drug that can be lawfully dispensed by a pharmacist only on prescription, falsely represents himself to be a physician or other person who can lawfully prescribe such drug, or falsely represents that he is acting on behalf of a person who can lawfully prescribe such drug, in a telephone communication with a pharmacist, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
