Comment on It shouldn't be called ADHD; it should be called restless brain syndrome.

This is the same for me. Comes with downsides too, but I’ve found weed incredibly valuable for… not really controlling or prompting hyperfocus states, but definitely a strong catalyst.
Still don’t really feel in control over which single line of interest gets the focus, but at least it’s not everything.
same it seems like about the only thing that has actually helped I’ve tried a couple meds and they either make me feel like shit or don’t do anything except for when the weed brings you down a rabbit hole and your ADHD goes with it then your fucked but other then that it’s great
I even told my doctor it’s been one of the main reasons I continue to smoke other than how it also makes my body feel pretty good (like walking on clouds; no aches or pains or at least dulled aches and pains). He still gave me some anxiety meds, but they are only for when I’m actively having an anxiety attack. I have never taken one, though. I’ve never been unable to have access to weed since getting that prescription, which prevents me having anxiety attacks to begin with.
It’s kinda crazy sometimes how I notice I’ve been thinking the same thought for minutes. I don’t think I have ADHD but probably ADD, my mind is just all over the place through the day but after a bowl it all just calms down. Kinda like a group of people organizing into a queue.
add has been reclassified as ADHD

Honestly, my thoughts bounce around like an angry bee in a coffee can. It sucks.
