Like I said, I know many will never agree...

In my state - it goes much quicker to force drugs on people - only a few days. Rarely is the real goal to help them see "reality."
I have had more clients end up kill themselves after being given anti-depressants than those who have harmed family members.
I understand you and I will never agree. Every so often I win a case and can keep someone from the druggings. Marijuana alone has never been something I have had a client have as a problem. Problems have arisen when clients have used marijuana and their psych drugs.
I did not read OPs version as being the therapist encouraging it - just not discouraging it.
