Where do wholesalers operating in West Virginia get their licenses?

DEA
FDA
WVBOP
WVDOH

The correct answer is: DEA

Wholesalers operating in West Virginia are required to obtain their licenses from the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy (WVBOP). This regulatory body is responsible for overseeing the licensing and operation of pharmacies, pharmacists, and wholesalers within the state. It's important to note that while the DEA and FDA have regulatory roles related to controlled substances and the safety of food and drug products, respectively, the specific licensing for wholesalers falls under the purview of the WVBOP. Other entities, such as the WV Department of Health (WVDOH), may be involved in health regulations but do not specifically handle the licensing of wholesalers. Therefore, obtaining a license from the WVBOP is essential for legal operation within the state.
