    I don't have ADHD or ADD- but I work in "Resource" (special ed light - the kids who almost can make it on their own). I have seen it work quite well with one 7th grade boy. He started toking before school a few days a week. (I could smell it on him. ;) ) He brought his grade up enough that he passed 7th grade, but he moved and I don't know if the trend continued. :confused: I do hope so.

    Now how about some science? I collect MMJ studies and you are about to get a sneak peek at what "Granny's" been up to lately! This is what I have on my computer at home.
