I'm not sure about sleeping pills, but I do know that CBD Oil for pain management (this https://cbdparadise.com/cbd-oil-for-pain-canada/) is prescribed for people with hyperactivity or hypertensive people who can't sleep on their own. It is a natural extract of cannabis or regular cannabis. Recently, CBD has become so popular in the United States that it's hard to imagine a place that doesn't sell it, or diseases that aren't treated with it. So I don't think Canada or South America has a problem with it. As my grandmother tells me, they take it for muscle pain, arthritis, and anxiety. CBD helps with epilepsy and post-traumatic stress disorder.
