weed similar to adhd meds?

Discussion in 'Beginner Cannabis Consumption & Tips' started by mv123, Dec 8, 2010.

  1. So ive heard that pot can be given out for adhd, i know how people take those adhd meds like ritalin and stuff for studying but i know they have to take it when they study and before their exam or whatever. would weed work similarly to this? would i have to smoke before studying and before my exam? and would it actually help ? thanks
     
  2. The last time I smoked before I tried to study, I ended up spending 4 hours playing Call of Duty and eating pizza. I wouldnt recommend trying it haha.
     
  3. i have adhd and take adderall, and honestly weed doesnt help it at all. all that happens is i zone out more. it could be different for some people though.
     
  4. I have never smoked a strain of marijuana that has helped me concentrate like an amphetamine. However that doesnt mean that one doesnt exist.
     
  5. well theres a difference between getting high and studying and getting stoned and ending up on COD.
     
  6. ritalin and weed are 2 completely different things
    source: was forcefed it for 10 years.
     
  7. I have ADHD and smoke for class and homework but take my adderall for studying and exams. Weed is my daily that let's me make my 30 day supply of meds last me the whole semester.




    Results may vary...
     
  8. Ritalin is similar to coke actually, weed not so much at all.
     

  9. Sativas are better for add/adhd..
     
  10. yea but wouldnt it still make u more focused and calm in a way? be able to get ur thoughts in order
     
  11. ya know I had some Jack Herer a little while back and I noticed that I was more attentive than the spacy indicas but it wasn't on the level of my add meds.

    My experience with ADHD(dextroamphetamines) pills are nothing like weed.

    ADD pills gave me focus(I could read/write hours on end), talkable, sociable, and energetic.

    Weed before a test, was that i had patience doing it, kindve zoning out, relaxed. hard to focus b/c its black/white test with little prints on it and its get boring. but i get all squirmy like i cant sit still. in a way it can be a fun experiencing when there's no worry. But it's retarded when theres a stupid question and answer. and you still have to answer it, even tho it makes no sense.
     
  13. the amphetamines will last longer though, especially of it's an extended release.
     

  14. I hate taking CS's and find the only way I can take less is with bud. It makes the pharms work better when you need them, that's why patients on adderall especially are encouraged to take drug holidays..
     

  15. That's up to the individual. Some people would just say fuck it and not go to class. I did best in the classes I blazed before in during high school, but most of the stoners were dumb as shit.
     
  16. I've heard that people who have ADD/ADHD and take ADD/ADHD medication, they will benefit from it; but if those who don't suffer from it take the medication, they will actually suffer from the ADD/ADHD symptoms. Vice versa effects.
     

  17. Bullshit. You'll study and clean like a motherfucker.
     
  18. I would verify the source before you buy into something like that
     
  19. Everyone's different.

    Personally I can study thoroughly, but I can't cover much material.

    And run your experiments some other time. I bet you're contemplating it for one of your finals as we speak. Now wouldn't be a good time to find out. ;)
     
  20. Mhm. If you just smoke a little with the full intent of studying, you don't wake up on the couch a few hours later. It can be helpful, if you're curious try it out sometime. I have ADD and sometimes it helps, but ADD pills are far superior at least for me.
