Can precursor substances like pseudoephedrine be sold in pharmacies in West Virginia?

Yes, in any quantity
No, they are banned
Yes, but only by prescription
Yes, only as pharmacy sales

The correct answer is: Yes, in any quantity

In West Virginia, precursor substances such as pseudoephedrine can be sold in pharmacies, but there are regulations that govern their sale. The correct understanding is that these substances are not available for sale in any quantity without restrictions. The sale of pseudoephedrine is regulated under state and federal law to combat the illegal production of methamphetamine. Pharmacies must follow specific guidelines, including keeping track of the quantity sold and requiring identification from the purchaser to monitor and limit the sales of these substances effectively. The option indicating that pseudoephedrine can be sold "in any quantity" suggests a misunderstanding of the regulatory framework surrounding its sale. There are limits to protect against misuse, and therefore the other provided choices reflect the necessary controls in place for the sale of such substances.
