I have severe A.D.D.

[coloradomedical]

Is there any strains out there that are super uppity, improve Focus and could help me with my damned ADD, so I can focus when I am listening to the damn prof's at school. Or must I continue subjecting myself to this harmful chemical I currently use to control it....

 

[Stoner Gardener]

Hi. First a disclaimer: I'm not a medical pro (or student of medicine).
I have learned the hard way that our diets can contribute to or amplify our vulnerabilities to myriad health issues. I am not recommending you stop taking the Rx meds, but would suggest trying to consume a diet that fosters an alkaline pH environment in your body. eg. Lots of green leafy vegetables (not Cannabis as it easily irritates the stomach), fruits and highly anti-oxidant foods. Also, drink lots of quality water (I use an ionization filtration system for my drinking water) & avoid processed foods - especially sugary drinks.
Re. Strains to attain focus.. I don't know... since everyone's body chemistry is different, but I would say moderation likely will play a key roll.
I have felt similarly challenged most of my life & this info has helped me alot.
Good luck

 

[Bacchus]

To treat my mild ADHD... I find that something with Columbian in it helps me. Love Potion comes to mind. Which has Santa Marta Gold in it. A cross I made Super-G. Mellow buzz sativas work, they seem to slow down the brain a bit, without the cloudyness and drowsiness of an indica.

 

[Sam the Caveman]

I agree with stonergardener

When I was a kid I was diagnosed with ADD. I always had a suspicion it was a crock, I hated being on the medicine cause I felt like a robot.

I have changed my diet over the years to eating nearly (<5%) no processed foods. I don't eat fast food at all, eat organic cereals and milk and drink water. That means no soft drinks, I haven't had a carbonated soft drink in 5+ years.

I have a great ability to concentrate now, and whatever they diagnosed me with seems to have cured itself, and it wasn't with what they were giving me.

 

[coloradomedical]

I wish that changing my diet was the simple issue. I am a health JUNKY and have tailored my diet for the past 6 years. I still have serious concentration issues. I usually just don't take my meds, because I don't like the robot feel either. Thankfully, I am intelligent enough to get through school on my mediocre study habits, but I am starting my senior year, and it's all straight major classes. I would really like to sponge it all in versus just pass with my marks. I want the knowledge, not just bring it in then spit it out. I grasp the concepts with ease, but I want the nitty gritty details in between to stay with me too. Ugh, I do drink teh caffeine though.... That may be a good place to cut out... That's my one diet flaw.

I do drink my weight in water, but I will admit I fail at my leafy greens. I eat my veggies, but salad... eh. I am a meat eater. I may have to give a good months worth of a salad a day a try though.


Thanks for the advice all...

 

[igrowone]

though it seems to be out of stock at the moment, there is the strain ADHD from growdoc, you can find growdoc seeds on the seed boutique
strain was clinically tested for attention disorders, not sure how good the results were

 

[!!!]

Try an indica. Sativa doms tend to give me severe ADD where lower potency, more CBD, indica highs tend to feel more like a low dose of adderall. They help me relax and in turn I focus better.

 

[D.S. Toker. MD]

Dont depend on Cannabis to help your condition Colorodo. Ive had ADD for years and ive smoked weed heavily for years.

Cannabis tends to make add worse over time. Dellusions of grandure, schizophrenia, panic disorder, obsessive disorder and paranoia often accompany the use of cannabis for those whose pshycological wiring systems are disfunctional . Especially at very high ingestion rates. Fortunately for me, everyone has always thought i was 1/2 crazy anyway so they tolerate to some extent my unusual behavior.

Sam the Caveman has provided the best advice

 

[coloradomedical]

I am definitely with you on that Toker. Though, I think everyone thinks I am 3/4's crazy, even my fiance. It's all good though. I definitely am not looking to cure my condition with it, because I know that all smoking pot makes me want to do is play vid games, bullshit or throw a frisbee. I was just hoping to find some specific strains that wouldn't be that counter productive in my mindset. :

 

[Mezz Mezzrow]

There is this one strain called Free Leonard that is popular in the Michigan med scene. Someone told me it was the best strain he had found for his ADD. It is G13 (x Hash Plant?) x Butterscotch Hawaiian. It has a powerful, but almost neutral high tending slightly to couchlock that lets you do whatever you are doing without interfering.

 

[pankynugga]

Hey there Coloradomedical.......i have ADD real bad as well and there is a Flo cut floatn all over Colorado thats perfect for ADD.....not to mention its a killer strain that yields well and taste awesome!!Check around Weld county etc.

 

[praisehim.]

sam the cavemans info is best, unless you wanna take meds. If you do, try concerta.. its great for potheads..haha.

-----------------------------------------
Chronic pain: Blueberry, Hashplant
appetite stimulant: Catalyst
Joint and muscle pain: Blueberry
White Russian-ak-47 x white widow-excellent for chronic pain and insomnia-M39 for chronic pain-Peace BigD
Catalyst: is good for Anxiety and Depression.
Purple Kush: helps my stomach and bleeds off my stress/anxiety.
Slow train: ruins me for a good long while and my back pain just melts away
Romulan-munchies, sleep inducer
AK-47-pain relief, day dreaming, anti stress

Romulan: Pleasant slight mental high. *Great painkiller*/minor muscle relaxant. Aided sleep. My heart doesn't race at all on this stuff! Apparently, it has a lower THC content than many, and this may account for it's mellowness. Yeah! It also doesnt make me feel 'stoned' or stupid.
Blueberry Kush: Medium pain control. Medium body high, STRONG sleep inducer. Knocked me out....twice.
Peak 19- Too strong! 1/4 of a puff made my heart race for about a half hour, and made me feel like I was going to be ill. I hate this crap!!
Mango+Durban cross: Decent painkiller, euphoric feeling, 'couch-lock'. Slightly 'stupid' high, and munchie inducer. Makes my fingers feel numb occasionally.
Trainwreck: Anti-anxiety. Muddled my thoughts a bit but not too much to be disturbing. Good painkiller. Slight heartrate elevation. Extreme munchee inducer.
The Skunk#1 that was grown on the PainPal system is VERY relaxing for me, it numbs my chronic back pain and is a real easy on the throat smoke. Two reasonable sized bowls and I'm off to "la la land"
Nevilles Haze is really good for psychiactric conditions, mood, and anxiety. I love Sensi-Star for it's ability to control muscle pain and nausea. It also has a wonderful aroma and taste to boot.
I had a friend (RIP) who used to swear by Super Silver Haze cookies for his troublesome RLS and arthritic spinal problems. I have a couple of people I caregive that gave the strain a trial. Both of them said that the SSH cookies worked better than Rx medication and that Indica's did nothing for them.
They also are very good for neuropathy and spasms from Multiple Sclerosis.
I eat 2 strong cookies a day - like clockwork - and dropped the Rx meds for spasms. This works well for me and it's the first thing I will give to someone
who has MS or bladder problems that come with MS. Nothing I've used works better.
I have said it before, the Amsterdam Bubble Funk has a way of getting rid of my HEADACHES when the pinched nerve in my neck acts up with those top of the cranium gems of PAIN. Without a doubt, better than any asprin ever taken, and with immediate relief. As a general pain reliever, this strain does little for my FIBROMYALGIA. For that pain, i rely on Bubble Gum, or Blueberry to get me the relief i need, for the most part.
BUBBLE GUM, LIFESAVER, AMSTERDAM BUBBLE FUNK, & Kali Misty definitely help me to cope with my FIBO flare ups, by the way
AK-47- A more 'active' high, pretty decent munchie factor after a few minutes, and a very pleasant mental haze. Pain relief is definitely also a good plus with this one: an 8 for neuropathic pain, and a 9 for muscular pain. Effects are felt instantly, and although it's very potent, it doesn't make my heart race at all.
New York City Diesel- This strain tends to put a bit of 'tightness' in my chest. A 7-8 for pain control, and an odd discernable head buzz. This tends to come on slowly for me. Small munchie factor.
Trainwreck (further thoughts)- This is a really great strain to be active with. I've been using Trainwreck in the morning, followed by small hits of AK-47 throughout the day for pain relief, and it's very effective.
Medicine Man- Excellent for neuropathic pain. I've been told by some that this is another name for White Rhino....although it doesn't seem to have as 'active' a quality as I expected from this strain. More than any other strain, this cannabis creates a fogging mental haze that can be shaken off if necessary, but really helps with perception of pain. I give this a 10 out of 10 for pain control and general anti-anxiety/mood elevation, however, I'd save it for the night- it's not the most motivating thing in the world, although it is possible to become productive if you push yourself enough.
Afgooy. Great for stomach stuff as well. Serious couch lock. This stuff will make your face numb.
M-39- Very happy, decent bodily relaxation, excellent anti-anxiety, and good for cramps.
Silver Haze- AMAZING for pain- it's a very even head/body buzz, but it's an alert, cerebral one. I want to be busy when I'm on this stuff.
RomSpice- This is the strongest body high I've ever felt. It literally makes my whole body feel numb and tingly. I give it a 12 out of 10 for pain. It surpasses Romulan by at least half. AMAZING and wonderful! It not only kills my pain- without massive amounts of opiates, but it also helps withdrawl symptoms- VERY well. It brought my aches down to being barely tolerable with advil (as opposed to me lying on the floor aching, shaking and vomiting).
I highly recommend the club on 9th St. (10th st. is okay too, but the staff isn't nearly as knowledgable) in San Francisco. They know exactly what strains suit which ailments. Apparently, Cindy99 is supposed to be excellent for MS- they make bhang out of the most potent strains they have (RomSpice and Cindy99 for this batch), and many MS patients haven't needed anything more than an occasional advil. AMAZING stuff.
Anti nausea strains: (I have BAD nausea due to a bad liver, kidney disfunction, and mental trauma/PTSD) RomSpice, Silver Haze, Romulan, NY Sour Diesel, M-39, Blue Moonshine, are ALL excellent- their effectivness is in order from greatest to lesser- but all of them work very well.
Sour Diesel is excellent for anxiety, as is Bubblegum. SD gives an almost tangible sense of relaxation in the head- it killed a developing migraine before it started.
my personal preference for treating MS, is ANY strong Indica,,, i stay away from any/all pure Sativas,,,
the reason is the effects from Sativas- energetic up buzz,, activates my spazticity with this disease,,,
it turns on my shaking in plain terms, makes me shake more,, it makes me vibrate, -try drinking coffeee i end up wearing it.
so for me,, an Indica,, a very very strong Indica, is what i need to treat my issues with MS- Neuropathic pain,, spazticity,,,
indicas turn off my spazticity,,,
so for Ms in conclusion,, with my needs specifically,, i would have a list with only this-
NO SATIVAS!!!! Indicas Only!!!!!!
Papaya: really helps chronic insomnia esp kief in cooking...
White Rhino: eases some chronic pain and assisted with hunger issues through chemo
Grapefruit: Great for depression but not so good for anxiety issues.
White Widow: Found to be good for depression and lessens anxiety (again personal opinion here)
Northen light x big bud: Good for moderate pain and late picked found to give a relaxing buzz...good for stress through pain, anxiety and long term chemo fatigue.

Northen light x big bud: Good for moderate pain and late picked found to give a relaxing buzz...good for stress through pain, anxiety and long term chemo fatigue.

GrowDoc has a strain called ADHD

ADHD was created and tested by GrowDocSeeds. People suffering from ADD and ADHD have found some comfort with this strain. This strain has been under testing for over 2 years. ADHD is mainly Indica. Best suitable for indoor growing. A good medical strain. Plant height: short and stout 50-70cm, Stoned or high: Good body high with a light mind. Flowering time: 60 days.

Just seems to be sold out at the moment but might be something to consider when it's back in stock.

ADD/ADHD is related to frontal lobe dysfunction and dysregulation of the neurotransmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine. MRIs show under activity in parts of the brain related to screening out important information from irrelevant background noise. Pharmacological treatments work to stimulate those parts of the brain.
Another approach to strengthening and regulating the neural activities would be a regular meditation/awareness/attention training practice. Using these practices with biofeedback monitoring has been very helpful for many, myself included. Meditation has been shown to strengthen and regulate areas of the brain related to positive feeling and reward; areas deficient in many with ADD/ADHD. For those with many years of meditation practice, the changes in the brain have become structural and observable through brain imaging. It takes some discipline but you can actually improve the hardwiring that allows you to experience happiness.

Relaxation, focus, and feelings of well-being are all interrelated. Meditation, good diet, fine weed well-suited to your needs, keep yourself and your surroundings organized, nurture the areas of your life that nurture you: you should be able to ween off psycho-parms without much distress.

Thats interesting, because I had a few year spirt where I was into deep meditation. I did it everyday for 30+ min, really, everyday.

Awesome post man... I have always wanted to meditate. Though, I wouldn't know where to start. Yoga is another activity on my to do list. I workout hard regularly, and I would like the yoga for the flex stretch area of workout.

How do you all go about your meditations. I am ignorant to that idea...

Yoga is great preparation for meditation. If you take a class, the teacher would probably be happy to give some quick meditation instruction to get you started.

This will get you going too.
