Actually, if you are an IL resident, your being on methadone, as long as it is prescribed, probably qualifies you for the Opioid Alternative Pilot Program (OAPP), which allows access to medical cannabis for individuals who have or could receive a prescription for opioids as certified by a physician licensed in IL. (If you get your methadone from a program, definitely check w/ your program if failing a drug test for THC would make you ineligible for your methadone.) The rules are a little different than for a regular medical card; you can check on the IL Dept. of Public Health site. And if not prescribed your methadone, as long as you have one of the qualifying conditions, neither being on prescription medication nor methadone should matter, though check with your doctor to see if there could be dangerous interactions. Most medical patients are on prescription medication. You need a doctor's certification & to meet the other qualifications--check the IDPH site or with a dispensary.
Well that's up to the doctor to figure out. There's been studies that cannabis can be a good substitute to wean off opiod addiction. But don't take it from me because I am not an expert
