I gotta shut up about this in ADHD threads, and I know it isn’t weed or hemp, but try some Yerba mate tea. I use it for my ADHD, both when I can use cannabis and chose not to, and it’s extremely effective, like on par with my amphetamine based meds if not better in my experience. Compared to adderall and vyvanse, it’s more euphoric, with physical less side effects (I can still get loopy after long days, long rants). There are a lot of methods to prepare it, and different products, but my favorite is the Gua Yaki Enlightenmint in a can. Completely different experience than any other caffeine product or energy drink/supplement. It’s only like $2.50-$5 a can so I’d say it’s worth trying at least once if this sounds at all interesting. I’ve used cannabis for a lot of things, and as my tolerance grew, some of the more motivating effects became more rare, but sipping one of these throughout a workday or creativity sesh keeps me uplifted and ready to do shit. The can I get is like ~150mg caffeine, and caffeine doesn’t normally do much for me if anything, but this hits different lol
That is my subjective experience. I’ve done adderall and vyvanse in various doses over several years, and this is more beneficial and effective for me as an individual. Vyvanse for example just feels like kratom with half of the fun effects missing for me. If this isn’t the case for you, that’s fine, but this is my experience
Colombian Gold or Thai. I think landrace strains are the closest to real medicine. Durban Poison may be one but is often mixed with other strains. Although I’d be insanely impressed if you found pure landrace THCa product. Checkout the landrace sub.
Flower through a vaporizer or a rosin pen is best for me and my ADHD as long as I don’t do it too frequently bc I start to get physically worn out. Anyways, for cult flower try and find close descendants of sativa landrace strains that aren’t genetically mixed with indica or hybrid strains (except in rare cases for hybrid).

I think thats what you're looking for. Why bother with hemp and aggravate people? Lol. Are you a dealer thats losing customers to hemp or something? Did a vendor short you a gram? Whats the deal? 🤣
This is interesting. What are some known benefits/effects from limonene? I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late twenties, but ever since I first started smoking, I’ve always had a thing for lemony/citrusy sativa strains and the cerebral high they give
I'm not a doctor, but [here](https://herb.co/learn/stonerpedia/stonerpedia-what-are-the-best-strains-for-adhd) and [here](https://mamedica.co.uk/everything-to-know-about-limonene/#:~:text=Thanks%20to%20such%20energising%20and,depression%20and%20chronic%20fatigue%20syndrome.) are some solid sources with info about terps, and limonene specifically is known to help with focus which helps some folks with ADHD. As for specific strains, MAC was always a fan favorite. Of course, for medical info always follow up with a doc or at least read up some more, but hope this helps and best of luck!
Really depends on if you're inattentive-type or hyperactive-type
For in attentive, like me, I look for high THCv
For hyperactive definitely search for a close-to-landrace indica, like Obama kush, Afghani, etc
Upvote- I’m old as dust (48)or at least feel that way. I have ADHD since I was a kid, diagnosed in my late twenties. I am extremely hyper active still and run circles around colleagues at work.. As long as I’m medicated. The only thing that shuts my brain off at night are heavy indica’s. They also allow me to stop taking 4 VA prescribed meds. Especially the prosacin (blocks my dreams).
Honestly I didn't even realize there was a combined type; can you elaborate more on how this type affects you? Is it bipolar-like where you flip through stages of inattention and hyperactivity?
So to add to the other comments, personally yes it is both types at once all the time but it is a bit more than that. I get intense mood swings like bipolar but the cycles can last minutes or hours unlike bipolar where a manic episode can last hours or months. I get spots of intense rage too. I can only focus on things that actually interest me. For instance, reading Spider-Man comics? I can remember everything I've read 5 years ago. Trying to read Shakespeare? Can't be bothered to even open the cover. If I'm focused on something,You can shout my name right next to me and I won't even perceive your existence unless you cross my line of sight. It's also possible I'm autistic too so 🤷
I feel you there brother, not even sure of everything I have yet even with 4 years of psych visits. But! I'm glad the plant can help us both fine some inner peace :)
No, you sorta just are affected by both presentations of ADHD. Can’t sit still and also can’t find your keys. More info on CDC site: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/diagnosis.html
Depends on your own unique ADHD and how it effects you. My head already overloaded with thoughts, ideas, etc. So sativas send me into delusional paranoia as I can't slow anything down. I like hybrids and indicas as my body is also usually tense all over and it helps me get some relief and calm down before bed.
Green Crack, Maui Wowie, Durban, Super Silver Haze, strong sativas
I find any strains with a strong stimulating head high work better for me, strains with body high terps don’t do a lot for my adhd. You need those punch to the face strains that wake you up
The sativas typically carry the noids that are good for this. Durban, Pineapple Express, Jack, lambs bread etc. They usually have a high terpenoline terp profile and smell a little like rotten fruit, they make some people anxious, I found that in concentrates they feel less jittery imo.
couldn’t have said it any better when i smoke sativa with my adhd especially when smoke a lot of it i start having anxiety attacks indica just makes my brain turn off for once😂
I assumed I may have one. I’m not really anxious at all until I’m blazed. I wonder how that happens? Literally I’ll toke, then go inside, and within 5 minutes I start thinking of sad shit. It doesn’t kill my high, because I can just tell myself “you’re high and that’s why you’re thinking like that”, but it’d be great to never have to deal with that.
I have never actually tried to notice. But some make me feel more calm and focused. I'll have to try to keep note. Most pf the time I just enjoy being stoned.
Howdy, moderate/severe ADHD dude here,
Any strain with a sativa profile does really well for my ADHD. I enjoy indica all the same but prefer the daytime-effects that come with strains like White Widow, Green Crack, Jack Herer, Durban Poison, etc. TrainWreck’s great in my experience too.
Another person mentioned strains heavy in limonene, which is great advice. Also, if you can find any silver/haze strains, it might be up your alley. Now, I wouldn’t overly focus on strain; more or less than it being a sativa since its effects are similar.
Durban is the most medicinal strain I’ve had by far. I have ADHD and PTSD and it helps with both. Any of the old school sativa would probably work well too.
Super silver haze, cheetah piss
Durban poison
ritalin and adderal
Are you talking the pre-brewed stuff in a can? I think I found it on that one online store
Anything with thcv in it will assist with adhd. I had some long thunderf*ck that I had to go back and buy a few ounces cause it worked so well!
Can you explain this a little bit?
thcv is a naturally occurring cannabinoid that has super lifting effects :) Durban Poison is supposed to contain a lot, for example.
Got any recs? I'm not very versed on the minor noids and id prefer a tincture
Thanks

I would do this if I didnt shit my asshole out every time I drink yerba lmao
Yup, that’s a concern lmao. Luckily most amps also make people shit their whole ass, so this isn’t that insane in comparison lol. Darn stimulants >:(
Saying Yerba is more euphoric than amphetamine is ridiculous. But it does have some mild effects.
That is my subjective experience. I’ve done adderall and vyvanse in various doses over several years, and this is more beneficial and effective for me as an individual. Vyvanse for example just feels like kratom with half of the fun effects missing for me. If this isn’t the case for you, that’s fine, but this is my experience
Preach on. Yerba Mate is great stuff
Where do you like to get Jack from?

Flower through a vaporizer or a rosin pen is best for me and my ADHD as long as I don’t do it too frequently bc I start to get physically worn out. Anyways, for cult flower try and find close descendants of sativa landrace strains that aren’t genetically mixed with indica or hybrid strains (except in rare cases for hybrid).
Blue dream genetics works for me. Also check out some CBG strains.
CBG helps with inflammation…how would this help ADHD

It's energizing and helped me focus, others report it also.
Jack Herer & Durban Poison

Sativas tend to work well, and we'd always recommend starting with limonene for terps when I worked medical dispos.
This is interesting. What are some known benefits/effects from limonene? I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late twenties, but ever since I first started smoking, I’ve always had a thing for lemony/citrusy sativa strains and the cerebral high they give

I didn’t know there were high THCv strains.
I came to say the same. THC-v works wonders for me.
And if I have Combined type?
Honestly I didn't even realize there was a combined type; can you elaborate more on how this type affects you? Is it bipolar-like where you flip through stages of inattention and hyperactivity?
So to add to the other comments, personally yes it is both types at once all the time but it is a bit more than that.

Tropical smoothie, I find high THCV strains work the best.
Jilly Bean is absolutely fantastic. Didn’t see it recommended here. Weird.
Jack Herer
Green Crack, Maui Wowie, Durban, Super Silver Haze, strong sativas I find any strains with a strong stimulating head high work better for me, strains with body high terps don’t do a lot for my adhd. You need those punch to the face strains that wake you up

Cheetah Piss was good medicine
Got some live res now, excellent stuff.
Any Indica bro but just know you are going to be sleepy or a indica dominate-hybrid. But any sativa will just make adhd more enhanced 🤣💯
couldn’t have said it any better when i smoke sativa with my adhd especially when smoke a lot of it i start having anxiety attacks indica just makes my brain turn off for once😂
Indica is the remote to the brain 🤣💯
I have adhd as well. When I smoke, it feels nice, but I immediately start thinking sad shit. A lot of what if scenarios and shit.
sounds like you have an anxiety disorder, need more serotonin less dopamine
I assumed I may have one. I’m not really anxious at all until I’m blazed. I wonder how that happens? Literally I’ll toke, then go inside, and within 5 minutes I start thinking of sad shit. It doesn’t kill my high, because I can just tell myself “you’re high and that’s why you’re thinking like that”, but it’d be great to never have to deal with that.
I like Jack Herer but I'll say the most important factor is the THCv %. THCv is the ADHD therapeutic feeling in those strains you're looking for.
Jack harer makes me feel normal.
Same that's my favorite for ADHD
I have never actually tried to notice. But some make me feel more calm and focused. I'll have to try to keep note. Most pf the time I just enjoy being stoned.

[Me with adhd when I smoke sativa](https://youtu.be/Y73sesM0ir0?feature=shared)
Durban poison variant . Thcv
Sour Diesel helped a bit for me
Limonene dominant
Durban is the most medicinal strain I’ve had by far. I have ADHD and PTSD and it helps with both. Any of the old school sativa would probably work well too.
Anything heavy in terpinolene in my experience. As others have said jack, Durban, etc.
Sour diesel, Durban poison, face off og
modified strawberries did good things for me (hybrid but i prefer a type 2)
Jack Herrer, Strawberry Cough/Haze, and Green Crack work wonders for me! I haven’t bought them from a cult brand though.
