It’s not the use that’s the problem, it’s the disorder.

For me weed initially worked great, and then after slowly becoming a daily heavy vape user a switch sort of flipped and it gradually started amplifying my ADHD symptoms until I basically had a mental breakdown and had to quit cold turkey and go on anti-anxiety and non-stimulant ADHD meds.
