I think they don't want to make judgements about your ability to play.

It's one reason why there's prescription-strength ibuprofen. I can personally just go buy OTC ibuprofen and take the required dosage, but some people can't afford that, so they get the prescription strength where their out-of-pocket cost is $0.

can't afford it? in the UK ibuprofen and paracetamol are like, 20p for a pack of 16!

though I do miss the giant packs you get in the US, all pills come in small blister packs with purchase limits in all shops, to make overdosing more difficult

That’s about the same price as on Amazon in the US.
