In Serbia, we had similar case. In orthodox monastery of Crna Reka was situated camp for healing of drug addicts, founded by Serbian Orhodox Church. Until one day, media started campaign to shut it down, because of "unhuman, brutal methods" used incourse of treatment, that were endagering human rights of drug addicts, according to NGO's who immediatelly started to push on government institutions. Fortunately, after that affair cooled down, since parents of drug addicts insisted that camp should not be closed, monastery of Crna Reka, and others, like monastery of Kovilj, were left alone, and treatments continued.

This clown should go to jail forever. I smoked marijuana for 20 year's and moved to a different country so I decided to quit. It was so easy to quit, I had no withdrawals and it was something I decided i wanted to do.
Let me tell you, if a civilian took me by force trying to "save me" it would be the last thing he did.
3.5 years is not nearly enough.
