Marijuana use

I've been addicted to oxy's and heroin for 8 years.  I started going to the methadone clinic about a month ago and it seems to help with the opiated.  The problem is that I smoke a lot of pot.  It helps with the cravings and makes me feel better.  Should I quit smoking because it's still a drug or keep smoking pot cause it helps me to not use the harder drugs???

I have to agree I was never addcited to pot yet I use to smoke like Cheetch and Chong and I have not had a joint in years. It will soon be legal everywhere.
Its great for certain kinds of pain. I only have once concerns with you make sure you buy good pot. The **** from Mexico been sprayed ot molding as hell and is not good for you. If you live in Califi you can get a doc to give you a script gotit the FEDs have really lax off the Midical pot a lot there. Also try to smoke it through a vaporizer its much better for you lungs. Funny I used to love to smoke but my body chemistry change and I really do not care for it. But it is a great step down tool if it works for you. Now I am going in my bomb shelter after saying all this.
I willend with it does not make you stupid Bill Maher who I really like smokes every day you see him as a pot head?

Using one drug to replace another is never going to be the answer and will make it that much harder to ever get and stay clean .I
