I see clients -those who have never used pot or alcohol - with all sorts of horrible side effects from the forced psych drugs they have had foisted upon or injected into them. The drugs are used more to make the client more manageable for the institution rather than to actually help the client in any way.

More manageable or assist them in seeing reality. In my state without a court order medications can't be force unless a patient is in immediate danger to themselves or others. Otherwise it requires a rather lengthy court proceeding to get forced medications. We have had people kill family member who are so drugged out on MJ who are psychotic because they don't take their medications. It takes about 3 months to get the court order to force medications.
Like I said, I know many will never agree...
