The link between ADHD and cannabis has been the subject of extensive research.
Covering the latest research is vital to understand the science behind the links between cannabis & ADHD. We want to to know more about the causes and effectiveness of current treatments.
To make this research easier to understand we provide:
- A short summary of important research written in plain English
- A “TL/DR:” overview of the current research
- An opportunity for the community to ask questions and steer future research
- A ‘Task List’ for members to earn points
Cannabis & ADHD Research
Summary: What Does This Mean?
Several key themes emerge from the history of research into cannabis & ADHD.
- There is overwhelming evidence that young people with ADHD have a higher likelihood of using cannabis in later life. What’s in dispute is whether this use constitutes “Substance Abuse” or is a sign that ADHD patients find that self-medicating with cannabis helps them.
- The majority of studies are self-reporting. This relies on patients giving an honest assessment of whether or not cannabis is working.
Discussion
You can discuss the topic of ADHD with other members in our dedicated Forum.
- What age do ADHD patients start using cannabis?
- Is there a specific product that helps ADHD? What products does our community find helps them? Can we conduct a running survey that is constantly updated?
- Can cannabis be combined with another product to make it even more effective.
- Does a low dose THC product work? Many patients don’t want to feel ‘stoned’ during the day.
