Being High Makes Me So Adhd

Discussion in 'Science and Nature' started by kcalbnived, Aug 29, 2014.

  1. I've been getting treatment (medication) for ADHD about 2 almost 3 years now, it has really improved my ability to focus on conversations, complete tasks, have energy and motivation to do things.

    But when I smoke weed, my thoughts go so fast and I can barely keep any train of thought. What's cool though is I think so creatively, but I absolutely cannot hold a conversation with someone so I usually like to smoke alone. I'm wondering if being high is getting me back to my original post-ADHD treatment state of mind?...can anyone else relate?
     
  2. Yes I can relate

  3. I too have trouble focusing. I was never diagnosed but it definatly.inhibits my abilities and general life.

    Like at work my boss is always on my ass about not paying attention, daydreaming, making obvious mistakes, that sort of thing.

    I've had this problem all my life. I used to get iin trouble in elementary school for daydreaming.

    My short term memory is hit and miss; suggesting my memory isn't bad, its just my attention span.

    Weed definatly makes the problem worse however; in the past few months I have made some progress in fighting it with will. I don't believe medication is needed. I have been practicing focus exercises. I see it as more of a handicap than a disability. Ill never have the focus of a normal person, but I've improved.

    Just don't smoke before work, school, homework, competition, or anything that you need focus. (I'm not talking to everyone just us with add)

    Here are some focus exercises I came up with.

    Timed mental tasks. Time yourself doing math problems, or a game you enjoy, or even physical tasks that require your brain like organizing things.

    If you are trying to beat your tike you will have to focus. Its like lifting weights at the gym but for your brain (specifically focus)

    Memory. I have been playing that memory game with a declared of cards where you flip them and try to find matches.

    Remembering every card you flip requires immense focus and systemic thinking
