My cannabis use disorder was the result of the healthcare system failing to diagnose my adhd. Now that I'm diagnosed, I can't be prescribed the meds I need because of my historic cannabis use. Thanks system

As someone who was medicated for ADHD all through childhood, I dearly wish they'd have just given me weed instead. Almost all of it was the pharmaceutical equivalent of synthetic cocaine and it permanently damaged my body by jacking my blood pressure through the roof for almost all of my formative years. That doesn't even begin to address the hyper mood swings that certainly didn't make my teenage years any easier.

It boggles my mind that doctors give these drugs to children but clutch their pearls over a fuckin plant in the dirt.

Appreciate you sharing your experience, don't mean to make them sound like magic pills. Just the substitutes I'm on haven't done shit except make my dick not work

Pretty bang on, except affording the consults made no difference in my case

Ahh sad to hear, meds (ritalin) has helped me so much. Both personal and professional life, I still go off the deep end with some things and obsess over others but I'm more alert, can focus on tasks better and am happier with what I'm capable of.

Since the meds I've started scripting / programming, renovating and cabling under and in the ceiling of my house. Personal stuff is just that, but things are better than ever in that area.

I hope your managing your ailment and that you find something that works for you.

manages my fucked up gut great. my fucked up gut gives me a hell of a lot of other symptoms. If the gut is fine, everything else is. Imagine that.
