No: Methadone maintenance is designed to prevent cravings for a narcotic addiction. Not for recreation. Smoking marijuana mixing with Methadone can potentate respiratory depression and you can stop breathing. Methadone does not prevent cravings of thc( marijuana.

Methadone, THC: I would certainly not provide you with Methadone if you still use thc and also use meth. You need help. Instead of a vacation why not check into a drug rehab program this would serve you well in the long term. Studies have shown that iq drops with thc use.
