Federal RequirementsQuestion 53 of 100
Under the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act, what is the federal daily purchase limit of pseudoephedrine base for a single buyer?
a.9 g
b.2.4 g
c.3.6 g
d.7.5 g
Explanation
The CMEA caps a single purchaser at 3.6 g of pseudoephedrine base per day and 9 g in a 30-day period, so 9 g is the monthly limit rather than the daily one and 2.4 g and 7.5 g are not federal thresholds. Products must be kept behind the counter or in a locked case, and the buyer must show photo identification and sign a written or electronic logbook that is retained for 2 years. These are federal minimums; some states are stricter and require a prescription.
