Cannabis is not an ADHD treatment in Canadian clinical writing, and combining it with a stimulant is a clinical discussion rather than a lifestyle pairing this thread can bless. CADDRA and CAMH treat cannabis as something that can affect anxiety, sleep, psychosis risk, and adherence, not as a substitute for indicated ADHD medicine. What some people do in private is not a protocol, and it is not a reason to moralise them in a forum either. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.
