first off, I have ADD (was officially diagnosed at age 10, but teachers since 1st grade had suspected it). I was perscribed dozens of pills, all of which helped me concentrate, but at the same time i felt like a zombie/crackhead (I never slept, ate, I always felt uncomfortable and jittery, I had absolutely no creativity, and I was just unhappy overall)


Anyways after a year or 2 of taking pills I started to expirament with marijuana, and i found that when I was on pills it completely took the side effects away... and after a while of doing this I realized that I didn't need the fucking pills (Which are basically crank pills).

About sophmore year of HS i completely switched to weed and never took an ADD pill again (one of the best/easiest decisions I've ever made). It helped me graduate High School, and is now aiding me in college. I get way more done at work while stoned and I have a lot more fun doing it. Marijuana also opened me up socially, I never had too many friends before i started smokin, but when I did I could chill with just about anybody from my school and have a good time....


Now I'm doing well thanks to the herb. And thank god I live in Cali (ADD is recognized as a disorder remedied by marijuana) for the medical laws.

I think it's important to know that to smoke for a positive effect with a person with ADD the right kind of weed has to be used. If the person is ADHD or hyperactive then an Indica strain of weed should be used. If the person is ADD and the opposite of hyperactive (this is what I am), the person should use a Satvia strain of marijuana for the most benificial effects.
I completely agree


I'm diagnosed with ADD and they gave me adderall for it. Adderall has worked for schoolwork and things like that, but at the end of the day I have a headache and I am disgusted by food. I find that every time I take an adderall i need to cancel out the negative side effects with weed.

You don't need the Adderall, my friend. It's a nasty drug and it's not worth it....
