While there are some benefits that cannabis can offer to those who have ADHD, usually, the people who have this get drugs to treat this, and Adderall is one of the most common. They also may use this to reduce the impulsivity and focus.  The problem however, mixing this with anything can cause negative issues in a person, including weight loss, insomnia, and addiction. Some people may use it to replace the usage of amphetamines, managing the side effects that they have. 

What Adderall Is 

Adderall is a name that basically means mixed amphetamine salts.  This is basically four different amphetamine sales, which creates a 3:1 ratio between this, and it oftentimes is mixed with other smaller compounds. This is typically used for narcolepsy or ADHD and are effective in this. Other stimulants including Ritalin and Adderall are oftentimes used to reduce impulsivity, increase the focus, and help you get more done. Adderall does get prescribed in lower doses to reduce addiction, but it can even cause euphoria, sex drive reduction, more wakefulness, and it can definitely be something that increases dependence. This also can be used to improve athletic performance too, such as an appetite suppressant. It is sometimes misused because of this. 

It is a stimulant of the CNS, and it can be something that increases the norepinephrine neurotransmitters, along with the dopamine one. It can also trigger the release of serotonin and epinephrine.  This does have other neuropeptides that are similar to cocaine. 

Because ADHD is a disorder that involves issues with concentration, it definitely will remove the dopamine, and they’ll look for stimulation to boost this.  This can sometimes lead to abuse of substances and gambling, but Adderall helps with reducing the dopamine stimulation that constantly happens, and it usually is used to help mitigate this condition. 

Benefits and drawbacks 

Right now, mixing medication with anything should not be advised, but the problem, is that cannabis doesn’t have a really understandable legal status, so we don’t know how it interacts, and it is something that has hundreds of different cannabinoids and terpenes that are in a variety of different ratios, so one type will interact with something differently, especially cannabis. 

Right now, we know that cannabis can possibly interact with various medications that are stimulant-based. The cool thing about cannabis is that it can help with the negative side effects that come from Adderall. These include the following: 

• Appetite loss 
• Weight loss 
• Stomach issues and pain 
• Dry mouth 
• Vomiting and nausea 
• Headaches 
• Dizziness 
• Fever 
• Diarrhea 
• Sleep issues 
• Nervousness 

This is also good for vomiting, and it can naturally stimulate the appetite, reducing anxiety in the body as well. 

There are also some benefits for those who are dependent on ADHD medication. This can improve the symptoms, reduce the usage due to the terpenes, and it can definitely help. Limonene strains for example, are great for the locomotor activity, so for those who are trying to get off it, it can help to reduce those behaviors. 

Right now, there are risks.  It can possibly cause issues with metabolism of the drug in the liver.  There is also the fact that it can make you feel sleepy, cause issues with the heart and blood pressure and also may contribute to dental issues.  It also can definitely create a dependence disorder too if you’re not careful. 

Finally, for those who are sensitive to this, they may start to feel very anxious, and it can definitely be a problem. Plus, this is best for those adults who have ADHD,, rather than a child who has it.
