I completely ditched my Adderall (2x 20mg XR a day) for sativas. Durban Poison or Red Congolese give me the same focus with no anxiety, no harsh drop off and a pleasant background euphoria all day. It's completely insane this isn't ordinary prescribed medicine.

Damn I wish that worked for mine.

Sativas can send my anxiety skyrocketing and I lose any ability to focus on any strain.

There are so many different strains, I doubt they'd all do that to you. Like I can't smoke the Jack Herer strain, it gives me a ton of anxiety and restlessness. And I'd never smoke Blue Dream as a sub for adderall because it would make me too spacey, even though it love it when I want that effect.

I'd track down Red Congo if you haven't already, that one is the best received from all the people I've suggested it to over the years.

And one caveat is that it helps a lot if you live in a place with dispensaries so you can get a steady supply of specific strains at consistent quality, otherwise the medicinal benefit probably won't be as strong.

I order from naked cannabis online and it arrives in 2-3 days! Tons of strains available!

I have insomnia from a traumatic brain injury and smoke indica to get to sleep. I’m also not supposed to drink with this ailment and I’m discovering that I love smoking indica as a replacement. Who knew when I was a kid trying pot (sativa) and thinking it made me too paranoid and avoiding it

If it gets legalized in absolutely trying this. If it gets legalized I could grow my own. With adhd meds there's always "it will cost so much money if I ever don't have insurance for some time" (has happened before, my answer tends to be to stop taking it) and also that you have to go to the doctor a lot to renew it

Don't be so sure on the growing, at least until federal level. NJ has legal purchase and possession but if you have a plant it's still illegal.

You can grow up to 4 of your own plants legally in Oregon.

Oregon is kind of an outlier in general with substance legislation. Didn't they decrim all user-amount possession of basically everything common? Regardless, my point is don't have too much hope about any new states allowing it.
