Does ADHD make you more sensitive to marijuana

[thehotcompost]

True it is overdiagnosed, but coming from someone who doesn't have it how would you know if it exists? Some of us actually do have a problem so to say it's made up is completely ignorant. Would you say that aliens exist if you saw one for sure? Or still go on telling yourself it was just some good weed making you trip out...

I will admit its about money,but your ignorance to this saddens me deeply,you think adhd is one form of illness,it has a face of a thousand masks,i beleive diet and dicipline plays a major part in behaviour but the methyl phenidate has got my boy through school thus far,he would have been expelled a long time ago.They test adhd with a questionaire then turn them into speed freaks this will continue until the companny that make s Ritalin have payed for it thats the sad fact i can go on and on but i wont........

Are you talking about my ignorance or iStaaHi's, whom I quoted in that post? I actually have ADD (not ADHD, so I guess it's different), and have been trying to manage it for the past 18 years...I was just saying that iStaaHi was ignorant in chosing to not believe in the disorder, as some would/wouldn't believe in things like life from other parts of the universe...

ADHD was the soup of the day in the 90's......just like bi-polar folks in the 2000's, now they are preaching about fucking autism....it NEVER stops...there will always be another "syndrome" that expensive, prescription drugs can cure.

I'm not saying there aren't some kids here and there with problems, but humans everywhere gotta get off these scriptions.....unless your seing things that arent there or wanna actually kill yourself or others....you dont need ANY pills to get you through. SUCK IT UP like everyone else. There are way to many emotional, weak, people out there.

Add / ADHD arre completely MADE up ,, there is no basic diagnosis that doctors check for,, you know how they find out if you have add? if you fidget in class,, get up and walk around,, dont particip[ate,, ,, basivcally any kid has add its soo bullshit,, and feeding our children with meth,, its fucked up

Over diagnosed yes, made up is a huge overstatement. Way back when people didn't believe in germs,,cause they couldn't see them. I wonder what Normal is like. I think lifestyle changes can make or break it for someone dealing with Real ADHD along with basic self-awareness and environmental things as well. I don't know what Dr you see but get one that actually specializes in ADHD and ask for a full physical from your family Doc and have that person refer you to someone better if they are not familiar with ADHD studies. And its funny you mention feeding our children meth, if most people parented their children better they wouldn't feed their kids drugs as a first attempt to help them, its just terrible how true parenting has fallen to the wayside.

After the 3 years of testing and your child probaly nigh on a raving nut people are pulling there hair out by dthen and will try any thing there are non stimuli on the market now but they wont prescribe unless you know your shit and demand it so i totally disagree with your comments,youget a choice you can get your child through school or you dont what do you take????????????

[frostedwonder]

So what part of my comments specifically doesn't sit with you? Bad parenting in just about every civilized nation is rising in my opinion?

Thought so, but wasn't sure because looking back at my wording, it could be misconstrued a little. That's why I have the desclaimer in my signature

Bad Parenting i agree,doesnt help as my Ritalin was a clump round the moey,what doesnt sit with me right is that you totally are looking at this one sided,ive had to look at both sides for my sons sake,Different parenting styles careers and nan takes over,My Sons mother was so focused on her career that her mother had our son alot of the time and he done what he god dam pleased.When he came home he was stuck in no mans land as to rules what was ok there wasnt at home therefore he wanted to stay at his nans more and more,being our first child it suited so i have to take respocibility for behavourial problems along with his mother.But in truth to her it was what she needed an excuse in my eyes anyway,a spoilt brat really so play the tape a bit further not just the beginning.People with adhd are some of the cleverest people in history at what they want to know .If they dont want to know then forget it.My son is a mathmatical genius at 5 he learnt Volume ,he could recite over 100 films word for word,every dinasaur,every flag every capital city and he wasnt even 8 years old.Genius borders on Madness a thin line,he has recently come top of his year at school in mathmatics with a score of 99.2%then said to me imagine if i had tried dad,iI do see your point and that was my opinion,even though ive got it my brothers my Dad,My point is he cant tie his shoe laces up he struggles with the simple things in life so i would think there is something there,what i dont know but a boy of 12 now with an iq of 155 who struggles to dress himself brush his teeth or forgets to how would you define a child with adhd typical symtoms????

Our family Dr. also said ADHD is WAY over diagnosed....maybe 1 in 5000 people has an actual hyper-sensitive/tension problem....if ur that 1 person...thats shitty and I hope you find the help you need. All im saying I would NEVER put a child on these psychotropic prescriptions.....I was on ritilan as a pre-teen, zoloft & Depakote as a 20 year old and they were HORRIBLE drugs....took about a year and a half to ween off.....and feel normal again......Its my opinion that people need to start living life on lifes terms....it sucks alot....suck it up....you dont need some pill to help you. In the end it fucks you up more, mark my words.

Dont put your children on those drugs....they make life much harder.

Read this post ,,,ok then go back and read any in this thread made previously. alright now probably reread and digest it. Then comment if you feel inclined on your opinions/thoughts/beliefs. When I read it back you are commenting on how I responded or commented on Istaahi's quote that I included. I don't know anything about you. Did you think I was talking about you specifically? Now try to read the wacked shit you see below this line_______________________________________

After the 3 years of testing and your child probaly nigh on a raving nut people are pulling there hair out by dthen and will try any thing there are non stimuli on the market now but they wont prescribe unless you know your shit and demand it so i totally disagree with your comments,youget a choice you can get your child through school or you dont what do you take????????????

:wtf:
Can anyone understand what the hell that meant? I mean anyone other then the author, cause as I see it your not being very clear, and anything further will feel like a back peddle of your own thinking.

I get blazed and post things on this site. Sometimes when I read them again I don't even know who that person is even tho its under my name . So I must have been way to medicated to be typing on here, but this ain't one of those times.

Better raised (overall quality of family unit )kids equals less misdiagnosis in my opinion, secondly if people went thru the steps in finding someone qualified to diagnose anything they would have way more help with dealing with the whole range of things involved and related to ADHD. If you felt like I was talking about you when I said parents first attempt to help their kids I wasn't, do you really take something that literal and out of context? I would never and have never advocated someone on choosing Adderal etc "meds" for their issues I think I did mention that I hoped a person found a balance with less Pills and more Green. I do believe I spoke about what I was doing if anything other then that.

As a generalization I think many parents today have unruly kids with or without actual mental/physical health symptoms,and too many just hope one day off from work and one appointment to the local doc will fix their family without all the actual work & patience involved with taking care of their kids. Very similar to how some think kids will learn everything they need k-12 from teachers at school and they don't need to be their teachers. There are many forms in which to conform teaching to someone with adhd.

Those are my very long 2bits sorry. Changing anyone's mind is very difficult but you can always disagree with what someone says, but make sure they say something before you just disagree with all of what they said. Kinda makes it hard to discuss without an opprobrium ensuing. Oh and using things like your ignorance saddens me deeply, seriously how is that possible based on what I commented on...wow time to take your meds,,,,
