Tell that to the Finnish Medicines Agency (our FDA, but only for drugs). But no, you can buy 1mg and 2mg tablets OTC, but it hangs on a technicality. Those are meant for "stabilizing your internal rhythm, battle jet lag and make the time needed to fall asleep shorter" whereas the stronger ones are for insomnia and other medical conditions.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
