> marijuana May I ask: which strain do you use? I've been treating my ADHD with (sparing, irregular use of) the main stimulants, which has worked fairly well. I've only used cannabis a couple of times, and each time I rather hated how it made me feel.

I personally used marijuana for years to help me. The best strains I've found were high potency sativas (like 28%+) like Super Silver Haze or J1. I find the higher the percentage the sativa high tends to be more clear, energetic, and cerebral. If it's too low it's usually "muddied" so to speak. Additionally, ummm how can I put this, if I took a break from smoking it wouldn't help with my ADD as it would make me anxious. If I smoked weed like a chimney (effectively mitigating most of its normal effects because of the increase in tolerance), it worked really pretty damn well most of the time (I could at least eventually start my work). For me to have it work right (and I tried a lot of different ways of going about it), and maybe some folks are different, you need to pretty much be high all the fucking time so your tolerance is high enough. I'd smoke an ounce, by myself, in roughly 7 days to give some perspective.

  Ok thanks for the info. I had previously used a hybrid, and only edible. I've never been able to tolerate putting anything in my lungs. I'll try a pure sativa later on and see how that feels. > If it's too low it's usually "muddied" so to speak. So I think you're saying that even if you take a high potency sativa, but at a lower dose, you don't gain any focus/ADHD relief? That it's only therapeutic at high doses? I well understand how long term use is often required in order to mitigate some of the less desirable side effects.

    I’ll chime in and say that I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and that I love the way marijuana makes me feel and sativa strains are by far the best. It makes me feel like I’m finally how noticing how beautiful the world is and like I can face all of my challenges head on. I feel like with ADHD it’s easy to focus on something that’s fascinating and weed makes anything I want to focus on fascinating. Edibles can be hit or miss even while sticking with the same brand. I bought a PAX so I could vaporize bud rather than smoking it and I think that’s probably the best experience since you know exactly what you’re getting without having to smoke.

  God damn that's a lot of weed. I have some hippie friends that might go through that, but you've gotta be spendin.

I don't have a particular strain, just whatever my dealer has in stock (illegal state), but I haven't really noticed a difference in ability to study in the different strains I have gotten.
