It's good to know those are available. Thanks. I have seen providers here give a set of sequential instructions to put on the bottles of the prescriptions for Lamictal, e.g. take 1 25 mg tablet for the first 2 weeks, then take 2 25 mg tablets for the next 2 weeks, etc. I can see people might lose track and the starter pack would help with that, kind of like birth control packaging for a 28 day cycle.

I don't know why. I think it's a safety thing, and perhaps liability concerns did provide the impetus. Also, maybe people here are more stupid than where you live and would not think to use a locked cabinet.
In any case, it's been the law here for quite some time, longer than I can remember. Kind of like there is a law that people must wear a seat belt when driving in a car or a helmet when riding a motorcycle. (The only medicines I keep under lock and key are controlled substances.)
