But my understanding is that there are people in the US> who do take Xanax.
You are correct. I think it's pretty easy to get. It's a "controlled" drug in that there is a limit as to how many refills you can get without contacting your doctor face-to-face. If your Xanax meds get lost or stolen they can not be replaced until it is time for a refill. This might differ from State to State.
