Closed petition Make all sleeping medication prescription only

Closed on

Sleeping pills can be dangerous and open to abuse. Making them harder to get could help protect individuals as well as others.

Sleeping pills can be abused and can also be dangerous if people drive after taking them. Making them prescription only so they are more difficult for people to get may prevent accidents.
