The interesting thing about weed and ADHD, is that, since weed is a stimulant, if you find the right microdose (edible) it’s super super energizing and you can focus even better because it’s stimulating the under active executive part of your brain.

As someone with ADHD, I have noticed no difference on working memory other than when I am actually high. Also sounds like this is not permanent since effects go away after a month of no use, but heavy users may suffer withdrawal

Withdrawal is real for about 3 days, but a mild anti anxiety med for those 3 days makes it way easier. While I would enjoy smoking again there is no need to do it. Nicotine on the other hand is insidious.

Same, but to be fair, my working memory doesn’t work at all, whether I’m high or sober.

I will say that I tend to use quite a bit and The withdraw can sometimes be annoying. Nowhere near as tough as other addictions, I’m sure, but the one that always gets me is the loss of appetite and nausea with mild insomnia for a couple days. After I’m over that hump, though, it’s right back to normal. I don’t even get a ‘hankering’ for weed. I just sometimes wish I had some on the initial withdraw days just to help with sleeping and eating, not even because I want the high.
It’s pretty incredible we have a drug that you can use that much and bounce back out so quickly (assuming you’re old enough).
