Since there is no such thing as marijuana 'addiction' this treatment is bogus and unnecessary. It is just a way for a drug company to make more money. I would bet any amount that the side effects from this drug are worse than any side effects from pot?

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Sagittarius

It's important to be discriminating about what you say and believe today. That's because communications are rather strange, with people saying or doing odd things and plenty of scope for crossed wires. Be very careful if you're attending to important details because for some reason your brain may switch off at the vital moment, leaving you prone to making mistakes or losing track of what you're doing. Try to double-check anything important tomorrow when your brain is back in gear.
