Huh? Zyprexa to get you to quit herb. Never heard of it. Which one is more dangerous? Anti psychotic that might cause brain damage or herb, which some studies day causes brain damage? Myself I would pick herb over Zyprexa if that was the only reason for taking it.

Personally I am a recovering alcoholic/addict. And I could go about six months max without booze and only smoke pot. The problem was that I was smoking so much and my tolerance got so high that it just didn't have enough punch anymore. So back to the booze. And then i would quit the booze and I discovered meth and coke and with those I didn't care about drinking or I could drink a ton without getting drunk and having bad effects. The pot alone didn't cut it for me for long. Like I said six months max. I had to get totally clean and sober and I couldn't do that on my own so I went to rehab, NA, AA and that worked great.
