Cannabis is better for ADD and ADHD in kids than Ritalin

[Lainkweesha]

@SailorBarsoom Desoxyn is RARELY prescribed...Ever.

[dannyab3]

lmao at the guy at the end "he doesnt know"

[dannyab3]

OMG THIS IS DEFFF FOR ME..i have adhd n i swear just by smokin i can think so much more smoothly

[Sjokobaggyp]

i went on ritalin, made me suicidal, felt like i my rage got trapped inside me, cannabis has been helpful for me lately, but studies show that cannabis can have a negative effect on childrens brain, i also feel the confusing thinking of cannabis even tho i am 20 and very aware of what i am doing. give the kids some patience and love, and they will grow it off them when they realize themself that they have to do something about their problems. took me a while to understand why people didnt likeme

[kbthemodel]

the question is.... What doesn't marijuana do? It has been linked to the cure for CANCER and a plethora of other symptoms that would put pharmaceutical companies out of business............. Check the facts people.... Google "Run From The Cure" by Ricky Simpson.

[SailorBarsoom]

Aside from Ritalin, another drug prescribed to children by doctors is Desoxyn. Desoxyn is methamphetamine. I don't mean that Desoxyn is *like* meth or that it *might as well be* meth; I mean it's the exact same molecule.

Look it up if you don't believe me.

[Mariguana86]

I love the fact that she points out the increased use of marijuana is a direct result from the media lying to the public about the side effects. also i want to point out that Bill Gates was arrested for weed in albuquerque NM and he is one of the smartest people of our time. think about it

[johnmalcstan]

I have always considered HEMP is the greatest gift from God almighty. Medicines, cosmetics, clothing, building products, food, and now NATURAL CANCER CURES

WHY WOULD BIG PHARMA PROMOTE A CURE ALL THAT YOU CAN GROW IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD. Watch "Run from the cure" on youtube.

[pitachip75]

i will probaly calm down with maria but the side effects is looking like shaggy from scoobsville

[czypet99]

@pitachip75 your thinking of the stereotype... People who smoke weed rarely end up like "shaggy from scoobsville" All my friends smoke weed and I don't know anyone who has ended up living up to that stereotype. The only time I've ever seen marijuana producing that effect is in the biased media.

[smokingmcbongwater]

i cant smoke weed today cuz my mom forced me to take ritalin

[Sunny066]

more doctors need to hve to balls to come out and be able to go against the societal norms of things and say what they really believe is the truth of drugs they are prescribing

[qruxx]

Pot pl0x.

[CosmosMarinerDU]

I'm ADHD. I think pot should be legalized. I'm very liberal. I'm very familiar with state-of-the-art research in this area.

NO! YOU DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN CANNABIS! ARE YOU INSANE??!!

[KatySteffen]

@CosmosMarinerDU NO! DON'T GIVE YOUR CHILDREN RITALIN OR MANY OTHER PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS! ARE YOU INSANE???!!! The side affects of Cannabis are far less than the harmful side effects of many pharma drugs. Nobody wants to give their kids drugs legal or otherwise but if the "illegal" one has less side effects than the FDA approved one and can help with other medical issues, why not?

[Willy8496]

I also suffer from this desiese called A.D.D i took ritalin and it helped me focus but when i took this drug i could not eat so i had to be takin off the drug becasue of my rapid weight loss also i have also have taken many other drugs to try to help me but all had the same results so marijuana may be the last chance to save my life please don't let another kid die please legalize marijuana in iowa

[maraud48]

I have ADD, when unmedicated I can smoke weed and notice it can really calm my mind down. The key was too much makes ADD sooooo much worse, but the small amount was perrrrrrfect. Soooo right about lying to kids about embellishing the dangers about weed. I know that's why I started, which of course opens the door to other street drugs.

STOP DRUGGING YOUR CHILDREN YOU IDIOTS

[KatySteffen]

@nd4spd296 ITS CALLED PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS FOR A REASON YOU IDIOT!

[nd4spd296]

@KatySteffen oh, ok, that makes it all ok then, couldn't possibly do anything or have any long term effects on your kids then. I'm sure drug companies would never hurt anyone, I'm glad you were here to tell me this, you must be a really smart pharmacologist... I hope you fix your caps lock key soon, someone might think your just trying to be an annoying idiot. good day to you

[KatySteffen]

@nd4spd296 I think you misunderstood what I meant by saying it's called pharmaceutical drugs for a reason. I agree that drugs (FDA approved ones) can have long term side effects on anyone who takes them. I wasn't trying to say that drug companies don't hurt people, the opposite, most pharma drugs are not tested thoroughly or for long enough so see the true damage they can do in the long run. Which is why we see so many recalls and so many lawsuits against pharmaceutical drug companies.

[KatySteffen]

@nd4spd296 I also think I misunderstood your original comment about drugging your children, I took it as a post against cannabis only and not all drugs in general. If you meant all drugs in general, I agree, as a society we look for an easy fix in a pill/drug to cure any normal issue that can occur. Children cannot even be full of energy like they are suppose to be without someone wanting them to take a pill so they can be more easily managed.

[Learningalot1]

11 this is bs but I wouldn't mind to get weed pre-scripted

[pwg1126]

Ritalin killed my 22 yr old son Sean who took this drug from age 12. He started abusing this highly addictive schedule 2 drug in college and went from A student to dropout to a young man wanting help but overdosed due to the brain damage I believe this drug caused. Nora Volkow of the NIDA believes this drug abuse causes damage in the frontal lobe. I wish the doctors would have warned us. I am sorry Sean. I let you down.

[psyborg303]

its true

[Jeenyus1983]

Thats so tight!! When I was a frosh in HS-my biology teacher tried to get my father to put me on ritalin-he got FURIOUS-I was pulled out of school the next day and was home schooled-worked 6 hours a day-2 hrs of school-and a smoke session as I saw fit! Ganga is such a blessing! GOD got it right the first time!!

[DASW7]

@Jeenyus1983 God bless you, Sir or Ma'am!

[leapcop]

PEOPLE DIE FROM PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS. NEVER ONE SINGLE DEATH FROM MARIJUANA!

[hackingtime88]

i better ask my doctor about this

[karpetdawg123]

I've been smoking 'dope' for 25 years, doesn't do a thing for ADHD..............

[JiffyNo0b]

@karpetdawg123

Yeah, because drugs affect everyone exactly the same, right?

[jazzyjmay85]

@karpetdawg123 do you have ADD?

[KSNaslund]

At least more kids would know the joys of Pink Floyd.

[darealblakmagik]

@KSNaslund pink floyd was acid lol

[Nowsuescookin]

Oh boy did I have a good laugh. I'm a 50 yearold with ADHD, I did a lot of smoking the weed way back when. I dont think it helped anything, but I didn't care if it did or not, it's a good excuse.

[ninjae4976]

@Nowsuescookin i suggest to quit smoking than smoke after a few weeks off you'll see that your attention spand and fidgety is better after you smoke than it is when you dont smoke at all

[lordhighexecutioner]

Ritalin is an amphetamine, like speed, like benzedrene... isn't that supposed to be worse than marijuana? It's related to the dread crystal meth!

[JiffyNo0b]

@lordhighexecutioner

Just because something is structured similarly chemically does not guarantee it will share any given properties, obviously it's very likely they will share many properties, but often people confuse the chemistry behind it. One example is when people say MDMA contains methamphetamine. Yes, the drug has a methamphetamine molecule in it's structure, but that doesn't mean you are ingesting meth. Also, Ritalin is methylphenidate, Adderall is mixed amphetamine salts.

[getabrainasshole]

olberdouche is actually trying to find a way for himself to use the drug without anyone knowing he is using! bah hahahaha
