I’d like to know what anyone is using that they really think is helping them that isn’t taking traditional prescription medication for ADHD. Please make sure whatever it is can be found “over the counter” or readily available commercially. Please keep it to simple items that are easily found separately - i.e. a B vitamin of B6, 12 and vitamin C along with Magnesium glycinate or something. If you notice it helping in a specific area, please say what it is.

I have to throw in a couple caveats, just to make sure we can get a decent picture of what is actually helping, so…

  • Please nothing illicit or illegal.

  • Please no blends or other proprietary herbal combinations. If a blend helps you, great…but we don’t know what is in the blend that is helping, and someone may not have access to that product where they live.

  • Please be specific, like making sure to differentiate between magnesium glycinate and magnesium L-threonate.

        Weed has been legal in my country federally for a decade. What are you talking about?

          Not everyone lives where you do. There’s plenty of the world where it isn’t federally legal.

          Maybe let us know that?

        You say states so I assume USA, you can get THC mailed to you totally legally as long as it’s below a certain amount per volume.

        I just started microdosing THC and CBD (2.5mg each a day) and it’s really helping with my productivity! I buy online from a shop called Mr. Moxeys or something like that, they ship mints or gummies to most US states to microdose. Kind of expensive (87 cents a day) but WAY cheaper than Adderall, and less dangerous.

          Did you read what I said? I said legality varies by state, and it’s still illegal federally.

          That is 100% correct.

          Good for you it works.

            Did you read what I said? That it’s legal federally if it’s below a certain volume per weight. And the mints are. I’m not suggesting you get high, I’m saying legally obtained mints to microdose THC from hemp has been very helpful for managing my ADHD.

            It kind of reads like you don’t want help you just want to confirm there’s no way you can get help so you don’t feel bad about your ADHD making you unproductive. Well you shouldn’t feel bad either way. We’re all just out here doing our best, you included. Good luck, man.

              Don’t be a dick and make shit up about me. I couldn’t take CBD/THC products no matter what because my job drug tests, so I don’t get a choice despite your blaming me for not “getting help”, and that help in your case has to be CBD/THC based. For the record IDGAF if people use pot/thc/cbd. Whatever works for you. I asked you to provide a source that proves the legality of what you’re saying, but instead you doubled down on asshole. There are still states where ANY concentration of CBD and/or THC is illegal in ANY product, so whatever man. So IT STILL VARIES BY STATE. Any federal DOT job makes any amount of pot in your system illegal, you get fired. Guess you just don’t want to hear that.
