So is a kitchen knife, or a power drill, or a chainsaw, all of which can be bought in any hardware store or supermarket without special documents. There is a certain measure of simply letting people take personal risks that should be plausible and allowed in adult life. Antibiotics I can understand, because the resistance one creates within themself from improper use can affect others very badly. Likewise for opiods, which can cause people to lose personal control or coherence in situations such as driving down a highway at 100+ km per hour. For many other medications, the damage will be personal, and the choice should be as well. Your argument falls flat in the face of so many other things that you would also have to ban without written permission if prednisone or birth control pills were one of your baselines for prohibiting personal risk. Also, yes I know that prednisone is dangerous. I've been using it intermittently for a long time. I don't think anyone should have the right to treat me like a child on something so easy to learn responsibly.
