Trev,
I know what you mean bro, and I certainly don't blame you for thinking of this solution. But the problem with weed is (apart from the big trouble it can be for you) that it just allows you to numb out and forget for a bit. Then the thrill is gone and you are back where you started.
I will just say that I threw away a lot of years before I figured this one out.
Much love,
Larry
