Attention Deficit Disorder Therapy: Cheech and Chong Approved
Many people are wary of using traditional medications in treatment of their adhd, so I’ve been doing some research into “alternative” or “homeopathic” remedies. In the process, I found something very interesting … It’s possible that smoking marijuana may improve cognitive functions in people with adhd.

Being diagnosed later in life has also given me a unique perspective into adhd - from an experiential point of view, that many doctors, scientists, and other “experts” simply do not have. And … while I fully understand the worthiness of, and completely share the desire to “function better” with the other 95%, I find most advice available for adders to be rather simplistic and trite.
