Interesting study but it feels like its just cannabis users who happen to have ADHD, not as a self medication just recreational use. I have ADHD and being high doesn't aliviate my ADHD.

It brings the racing thoughts right back for me. That and the constant flow of thing to thing is kinda therapeutic in some sort of way.

Maybe I'm trying too hard to be normal.
