In my opinion, weed is one of the safest substances to help with mental illness or physical or mental pain. While it doesn't help everyone, for those it does, it can be incredibly useful. I would see it as highly irresponsible and bias if a therapist promoted the use of pharmaceuticals but condemned marijuana, since most pharmaceuticals can be addictive and deadly, and marijuana is non-addictive and has never resulted in death.

So, to me, it seems only logical that a therapist would be okay with and even encourage a client to smoke weed. My therapist encourages me to take Xanax, which is incredibly addictive and potentially harmful. Wouldn't it be better for therapists to promote safe, organic alternatives, provided they help the client? Obviously, pharmaceuticals should also be taken when applicable, but weed is just a much safer alternative to pharmaceuticals, so if it helps, what reason could a therapist have for opposing it?
