Are they trying to drug me?

I went to a PIP assessment for mental health this week and the woman there asked if I wanted to smell some tissue with lavender in it. Ofc I said no thanks so she asked again and just left it next to me.
Tbh I wasn't really listening to them but I caught stuff about me not taking any medication against the advice of psychiatrists. At the end she asked me to smell the tissue again I said no and she said I could take it home if I wanted. I said no again.
What the actual fuck was that about? There is no other explanation other than they were trying to drug me. What the fuck?

    I don't think they're trying to drug you(Lavender is meant to be a calming smell.) I do think however, that they're treating you like a mentally handicapped child. Very unprofessional of them.

    Lavender oil is used in aromatherapy, because it's relaxing. I do think it is a bit much to be so damn pushy about it.

        Lavender is very useful! However, I doubt OP was dealing with a witch.

    Probably saw you were antsy, lavender is a soothing aromatherapy scent, they only made you more antsy, then they failed to take the hint and only tried harder since you were less calm than before, not realizing that they're the ones causing your discomfort.

    Nah man, they were probably doing some psychological test or trying to calm you down. I'm on PIP too, I don't think they would do that at the assessment, it makes no sense. I would imagine they were doing it to judge your reaction.

    If I we're testing your aversion to suggestions posed by mental health professionals I'd say you failed with flying colors. That's is the motive I saw. Simple test.

      i would say he passed with flying colors not submitting to brainwashing techniques and the power of suggestion.

          "Subject refuses simple suggestive test, perhaps sign of paranoia. Subject seems to have trust issues with medical personnel. I am not paid enough for this. Subject makes me want to be that murderer doctor like in the movies this triggers me so much. I must take it slow, subjects paranoia seems to be rubbing off on me."

              This could have been some kind of test to gauge your level of trust and cooperation. Had you smelled the lavender oil, there might have been follow up questions to develop an impression of your susceptibility for hypnosis, etc.

    witches use scented oils in spells , and such, all you have to do is google it or find several videos about it on youtube. most people know nothing about it. of course they will only admit it to another witch so you cant ask them and get any truth.
