      Maybe but I’d wait with trying this yourself because this study is terrible.

      – There’s no control group!
      – They don’t mention the age of these kids, it’s well possible that over the long study period they learned methods to self-regulate better.
      – Article is paywalled and I don’t have uni access so can’t check their methods and COI/funding

      As someome with ADHD, Marijuana’s greatest benefit is sleep….. without using Marijuana I wake up everytime toss and turn. Sleep quality is terrible.

      With Marijuana I can sleep a full 6+ hours without waking up and feeling rested.

      My only problem is I cannot control the usage myself. I end up tokin from the time i get off work till bed. If I give myself a inch I take the whole mile.

      There’s not a lot of clinical proof (yet) but any stoner will tell you that CBD and the other CB’s absolutely modulate the high, as do other legal terpenes.

      Personally I use 100mg CBD in place of a low dose diazepam for almost the same effect, although it doesn’t last as long. This has a relaxing effect on me, body but mostly mind, which for me solves the issues ADHD cause me (can’t do chores because can’t pick which one etc).

      I personally suspect the more THC you use, the more an effect CBD has but that’s just me.
