As a child I constantly had doctor visits, being prescribed riddlin. As the riddlin did not work as they hoped, they kept increasing my dosage, still having no affect. I would fall asleep on the couch when I got home from school as I was worn out by it's effects. I also experienced instant motion sickness especially just by taking a 5 minute drive pretty much anywhere.
My question is, Can you be perscribed cannibis for ADD in adults?
I am a firm believer this can help me!

Any information will be much appreciated, Thank you.

Tyler.

you should be checking with the MMJ Doctors in your area, I feel your pain Bro, as I was also diagnosed with ADD at the age of 8 and by the time I was 11 it got worse I won't go into the details of my life but this I will say; "I started smoking pot at 10 years of age and had I not I would probably have commited suicide, I also have Bi Polar disorder which also seems to be helped by MJ I am now 51 and I Have a degree in the Culinary Arts which I would have never received, had it not been for the weed.:stoned:

Im glad to hear someone else benifiting from mmj. I was also looking up some other info about add. I believe I may also have something called RBS (racing brain syndrome). Too much anxiety and overthinking can cause a lot of nurvous thinking with no end result. Think of your brain as a thinking pump that is only effective at a certain paced speed. When that pump is over powered and stressed, you get no result. This is why I am so glad that marijuana can straighten this issue out for me and I can finally think straight, calm and efficiently.

Im waiting for a check to get in the mail and then im going to make the trip to the docs office in Riveride, CA.

Wish me luck! Thankyou!

That sounds quite relevant to what im trying to explain actually, same subject, but im focusing on the "Focusing" part.
IE: concentrating on a big decision, thinking about something complicated, trying to remember things in bunches (food orders) etc...

hey man, I have a very similar story to yours... I am a medical patient for ADD (and a back injury but that's irrelevant here) and I went through all the pharm drugs as a kid in junior/high school and that had a real negative effect on me... i started smoking weed to balance out the nasty effect of adderall, ritalin, etc. and after a while realized it was just the herb i needed... went from a struggling student that many said would never graduate to graduating a quarter early with decent grades and holding down a steady job at the same time (all while smoking an 8th a day).... I especially know about RBS... I self-diagnosed myself with that a while back... good luck on the rec., just bring some paperwork from your old doc and you pretty much got it...
