The age required to purchase a CV exempt narcotic without a prescription is?

16 years and older
18 years and older
19 years and older
21 years and older

The correct answer is: 18 years and older

The requirement to be 18 years and older to purchase a CV exempt narcotic without a prescription is established primarily for the protection of younger individuals and to prevent misuse of substances that can have potential for abuse. This age restriction reflects an understanding that at 18, individuals are legally recognized as adults and are expected to possess a certain level of responsibility and understanding regarding their health and the medications they may take. Choosing this age limit allows for more stringent control over these medications, ensuring that they are not easily accessible to minors who may not fully comprehend the implications of their usage or the potential risks involved. This approach aligns with various health policies aimed at minimizing substance abuse among youth. The other age options are not as widely accepted or recognized in regulatory practices, making 18 years the standard age for such purchases.
