I wonder then what the effect of cannabis is on the motivation/drive of someone with ADHD. Does the ADHD subject have a very weak frontostriatal circuit to begin with so that low dopamine levels only make something weak weaker (and therefore not having as profound outward effect as making a strong frontostriatal circuit weak).
Or do the low dopamine levels and impaired circuit compound each other, resulting in a larger-than-normal decline in motiviation.
- zxcvcxz 11y agoI use cannabis to treat ADHD. I didn't like the side effects of the other drugs my doctor gave me. It works really well for me. I'd also like point this out: http://gizmodo.com/the-fbi-is-struggling-to-hire-hackers-who-dont-smoke-we-1579183208 http://gizmodo.com/the-fbi-is-struggling-to-hire-hackers-who... >The FBI Is Struggling to Hire Hackers Who Don't Smoke Weed I think most people who work stressful jobs have difficult times when it comes to concentrating on long term goals, it's just human nature. For me marijuana has helped me reach many goals that I would have other wise given up on due to mental exhaustion.
- adrusi 11y agoI, too, have ADHD and use cannabis, although I've always tried to avoid cannabis use in the contexts where ADHD can be an impairment like school and work. So I'm curious, in what specific ways do you find cannabis helps you? What is your approach to treating ADHD symptoms with cannabis?
