> The justification is kids “might use them to get high” but as far as I’m concerned it’s a handout to Doctors.
That's also such a weird concept in 2020. Kids can just buy literally any drug they want on the dark net and have it shipped to their homes, they don't need to drink a gallon of cough syrup or use inhalers to get high.
It's interesting that you can get refills on a single prescription. I'm in Germany, and all doctors I've ever been to go the Let's Encrypt route, aka you'll get a prescription for 1-3 months worth (whatever the size sold at the pharmacy is), but you need to call them up and get a new prescription afterwards.
