Countries most liberal about prescribing?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows from personal experience, heresay, gossip, rumours, little birdies, or by any means, which countries are most liberal about prescribing, I mean allowing the patient to explain to the doctor what their condition is, what treament is working, and doctor trusts in the patient, as long as the patient seems healthy and rational, to know what is best, and prescribe that medication without any fuss?
Are their certain countries where this is more the philsophy when it comes to prescribing? I'm mostly concerned about benzodiazepines, but this is important for pain sufferers as well, who feel they have to always convince their doctors that their pain is warranted for the medication requested.

I'd like to know so I can do some research, and perhaps work a vacation around it, although I'm somewhat limited by importation limits, although Canada does allow a three month supply, and I don't think that's limited to a particular number of pills, so if you're taking a lot, a three months supply may amount to a lot of pills.

Well, this was meant to be short and sweet...

Thanks to anyone who can post or PM me.
