Meet our main character: a 33-year-old guy who got slapped with an unexpected ADHD diagnosis later in life. His first treatment? Good old Ritalin. Things started off fine – until they didn’t. After some nasty side effects and a merry-go-round of alternative meds, our patient stumbled upon something a bit more… natural. Enter prescription cannabis.
Fast forward five years, and guess what? Prescription Cannabis turned out to be a game-changer for managing those classic ADHD gremlins: frustration explosions, random anger outbursts, chronic boredom, and the endless struggle to focus.
This paper doesn’t just tell one guy’s story – it also dishes out a quick review of the science behind cannabis and ADHD, covering everything from observational studies to a randomised clinical trial.
Pitching cannabis as a legit treatment for ADHD might sound a little wild to some experts, but given the headaches (and side effects) that come with standard meds, maybe it’s time we gave prescription cannabis a serious shot in controlled trials for both kids and adults dealing with ADHD.
