I’m diagnosed adhd. If you’re like me, you cannot switch it off. Medication helps a lot with the negative effects, but the stream of ideas is never turned off, it’s just way more manageable, and you feel more in control. That has been a huge improvement to my mental health.

Weed does help sometimes, though I would not say the stream is turned off, but a lot of things go in the background, if that makes sense.

It’s cliche but I would recommend to see a psychiatrist for diagnosis and a therapist

Weed helped me for a moment, but I had to use the right kind. So much of it right now is do high in THC that it made things worse.

It had to be a good mix of THC and CBD and other terpines for the entourage effect.

I realized also that ingesting it as controlled oil drops was best. As I could get the same, consistent level.

For me, it just relaxed me enough that, though the engine was still running , I didn't feel like I HAD to redline it all the time. I could just chill and mellow out. And that it's okay to chill and mellow out sometimes.
