I was wondering if anyone has heard of pot helping with add (attention deficit disorder) because I have noticed that, In small amounts pot helps me concentrate. in large amounts, on the other hand, make my long term memory go down the drain for about an hour.
yes i totally agree... Ive been on a dozen perscription drugs for my ADD but chronic is the only remedy that works for me...I'm working on obtaining my medical marijuana perscription at the moment....
what strains work best for u with ADD? sativa... indica...?
completely with you bro...I used to act out in school so much, never did jack shit..until I started getting stoned before I went to school...haven't been diagnosed with ADD, but I don't need a doctor to tell me something webmd can..Quote:

Weed definately helps with ADD. It helps me personally focus by making me forget the little distractions.
wow so it wasn't just me. I should have just googled it... thanks for the feedback though. it is rather interesting.
Couple more, in case you're interested in the science end of it.

Thats exactly the same way with me. In the last half of the last year, i started smoking almost every day before school. i stopped getting in trouble and my grades went up quite a bit, i went from like a 1.8 to a 2.7, shoulda been a 3.0 (weird screwup on the schools part)Quote:

I too have realized the benefit of smoking this year. Been prescribed Adderal, Concerta, & Ritalin in the past all of which made me a bitchy zombie and unwilling to speak in class. This last spring I went to philosophy class after a couple puffs of some indica and finally felt comfortable and followed the entire class it was really a wonderful experience. Like everything though moderation is key.
