EJ, feelin for all your ailments dude. But, no way that methadone is better for you overall than MJ. It is highly addictive and continues to bash your liver.
And esp since YOU like it better.

No offense, to your doc, but I believe that most MDs...well, suck!
Except for pediatricians.:thumbsup:

BTW - a good Dr will suggest that you eat it instead of smoking.

Also, yes Bob Marley is a legend.

Take care.
