 (1) Physicians, Dentists, Veterinarians, and Other Authorized Persons. Every physician, dentist, veterinarian, or other person who is authorized to administer or professionally use narcotic drugs shall keep a record of such drugs received by him, and a record of all such drugs administered, dispensed, or professionally used by him otherwise than by prescription. It shall, however, be deemed a sufficient compliance with this subdivision (1) if any such person using small quantities of solutions or other preparation of such drugs for local application shall keep a record of the quantity, character, and potency of such solution or other preparations purchased or made up by him, and of the dates when purchased or made up, without keeping record of the amount of such solution or other preparation applied by him to individual patients.  (2) Manufacturers and Wholesalers. Manufacturers and wholesalers shall keep records of all narcotic drugs compounded, mixed, cultivated, grown, or by any other process produced or prepared, and of all narcotic drugs received and disposed of by them, in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (5) of this section.  (3) Apothecaries. Apothecaries shall keep records of all narcotic drugs received and disposed of by them, in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (5) of this section.  (4) Vendors of Exempted Preparations. Every person who purchases for resale, or who sells narcotic drug preparations exempted by § 20-64-208, shall keep a record showing the quantities and kinds thereof received and sold, or disposed of otherwise, in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (5) of this section.  (5) Form and Preservation of Records. The form of records shall be prescribed by the Secretary of the Department of Health. The record of narcotic drugs received shall in every case show the date of receipt, the name and address of the person from whom received, and the kind and quantity of drugs received; the kind and quantity of narcotic drugs produced or removed from process of manufacturer, and the date of such production or removal from process of manufacturer; and the record shall in every case show the proportion of morphine, cocaine, or ecgonine contained in or producible from crude opium or coca leaves received or produced. The record of all narcotic drugs sold, administered, dispensed, or otherwise disposed of shall show the date of selling, administering, or dispensing, the name and address of the person to whom, or for whose use, or the owner and species of animal for which the drugs were sold, administered, or dispensed, and the kind and quantity of drugs. Every such record shall be kept for a period of two (2) years from the date of the transaction recorded. The keeping of a record required by or under the federal narcotic laws, containing substantially the same information as is specified above, shall constitute compliance with this section, except that every such record shall contain a detailed list of narcotic drugs lost, destroyed, or stolen, if any, the kind and quantity of such drugs, and the date of the discovery of such loss, destruction, or theft.  (6) Records of Purchasers for Resale. Every person who purchases cannabis for resale should keep a record of its date of receipt, name and address of the person for whom received, and the proportion of resin contained in or producible from the plant cannabis sativa L., received or produced.
