Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

I became a pothead because it made the cacophony of thoughts in my head stfu. I didn't realize that my thoughts were like that because of ADHD, since I was only diagnosed in my 30's (started smoking weed when I was 19).

This seems sooo extremely common among software engineers.

people do the same with caffeine and nicotine - both calm us down and allow us to function a little better whilst having pretty much the opposite effect to the expected one (instead of faster we get slower, but being slower makes us faster as the usual speed we go at can easily be too overwhelming)

not such a fan fact: adhd folks are nearly twice as likely to be smokers than non-adhd people

Same here. And I consume a lot less pot the days I take my ADHD meds.
