Methadone to quit weed?????

So one of my mother's tenant is schizophrenic and used to be an alcoholic and he replaced it with heavy maijuana use. He takes a bunch of pills already for the illness. Now I just learned that his doctor gave him methadone to quit the weed... I never heard of anyone doing that.... In fact I think its quite possibly the dumbest shit ever.
Methadone to quit weed. What's your verdict on that one?

The type of Doctor that would rather stuff an addict full of pills instead of giving realistic advice is not the type of Doctor that should exist at all.

Oh okay, completely different story. M-done is still a bad choice for recovering from that addiction, but it's medically accepted

It sounds like it's complete quackery to me... and really stupid. Here's an incomplete list of reasons why it's stupid.
1)Weed isn't physiologically addictive, and even if it was addictive then methadone would still be the wrong drug since it works with different receptors.
2)He can smoke weed (and still get high) and use methadone, which defeats the major selling point for using methadone to block the opiate high.
3) His doctor prescribed a more dangerous drug that will do nothing to help with a problem that isn't physiologically based or treatable in the first place. It seems like the doc just gave an unstable person with an addictive personality a new dangerous drug to abuse for no good reason. The only possible reason to give this guy methadone is if he's a heroine addict trying to quit, or if he's in pain (and there are more appropriate drugs for that).
You made me waste time with that response Patlal.

I think he's been watching too much US cable news. It's ruining his journalist integrity.
