Cannabis strains for ADHD/ADD

I have found that White Widow is pretty good for ADHD. I lifts me up and puts me in a good, if not giddy mood. No couch lock or body high that can drag me down. I have been smoking and growing WW for several years now. It is easy to grow, easy to smoke, and finishes really early when grown outside in the PNW. Also I have been smoking Durban Poison as of a few months ago. It is a land race from South Africa that is all sativa. Many say that it is speedy. I find it lifts me up without any rushes (like Cynex does) or feeling that I have smoked too much at any time. It is a complete mental uplifting high without any body high or rushes or “did I smoke too much of this?” effects at all.

Thank you for taking the time to put all of this information together for us. I am very glad you came over and made all these contributions, very generous.

As an aside, I have found most of the Leafly strais listed for ADHD to be pretty useless for it. Cinex is way too rushy for me, and causes anxiety. I find the Diesel/Chem/OG strains to all be too muddy and kluttered of a high for me. I have not tried Green Crack but that may be a good one as well.

Strains that I smoke to help me get to sleep if I am too wired mentally are Blue Dream and GDP. Blue Dream is great for sex before sleep and tends to make me drift off. GDP is my choice for pain relief and general “I want to get high, what do I smoke” favorite. I can also smoke more of it to put me to sleep. Neither of these have rushy side effects, make me klutter headed or make me feel like I have smoked too much.

Well, I guess I have been too candid here, so I will dial that down in future.

I wish more people had your outlook on sharing experiences and ideas. I had the option of construction work when they kicked me out of school. Never been diagnosed with anything except a fondness for alternative ideas and a penchant for visiting alternant realities.

Ah, well I think outside the box, as it were, constantly. That was always a double edge sward as an engineer. Management loved it when I came up with a new process to reduce time and save money. But… new ideas can lead to change and chaos, and change and chaos can be hard to manage. So they were often times reluctant to employ my processes. They also did not always like my ideas. I learned that I had to feed them the ideas, and make them think that they came up with them, and then ask me to implement them. It was a convoluted process. And the unions screamed when I came up with time saving methods. My ideas for process improvement often times led to fewer hours needed to do the same job, and that led to fewer people needed to do the same job. That could lead to layoffs. Ooooh, the unions and union workers did not like that at all. I was evil.

The only constant in life is change, not a good thing to fight. A lot better to adapt and utilize even when it is difficult.
