Both Iboga and Ayahuasca (sacred plants) are very effectively used to wean from addictions (heroine and cocaine mainly). In the peruvian Amazonic forest there is a center, called Takawasi, where they gather good shamans from all-over the forest to help people with ayahuasca. Iboga seems to be even faster, but the practice is based in Africa (Ivory coast) where I have never been, so I don't know what you would find there, and in Europe/America the root is too expensive. Anyway, a friend of mine has been able to quit smoking after only one session of Iboga, just to give you the measure of what I'm talking of. I haven't been to Takawasi either, but I've heard well of it, when I've been a whole winter in Peru, and I do know ayahuasca quite deeply.
Especially Ayahuasca is also a very potent physical purifier, it is called by the mestizos "la medicina" for this reason. If you're a bit intoxicated, you're going to purge a lot during a session.

Also weed is a sacred plant and can be used shamanically (and also tobacco BTW is a sacred pland and widely used in ayahuasca ceremonies - but not the one of Philip Morris). Any demonization is out of place. The addiction was in you and weed has brought it to your attention, it wasn't in the plant. If you explore it in depth, this issue will take you deep in the relation to yourself. If you fight it and suppress it, you'll just stop the process. If you have the possibility, consider a visit in Peru.
