Ambien and other z drugs are addictive and users can develop a tolerance, become dependent on the drug to sleep at all, and experience withdrawal. Doctors in the west are often reluctant to prescribe such drugs because of such factors, and handing out the drug immediately is not a sign of quality care.
Calling people with addiction issues "The usual druggies" is also super shitty.
Obviously you don't take it every night but yeah, it's only a few people like Tiger Woods who ruin good medicine for everyone. My brother is opiate resistant and lives in constant back pain. He can get oxycodone but it doesn't help. What he really needs is fentanyl, which he cannot get because that's another medicine that was ruined.
