Marijuana works for Attention Deficit Disorder

For 15 years of my life i had ADD without the proper meds. I was given ritilen, addirol and some other unsuccesful unnatural drugs.

My mind could not focus down on anything. Reading was hard, having friends was hard, taking tests was ridiculous, and i spent at least double the time it took everyone else to do things. The only things i got really good at were solo activities and things that I could do without distractions and even then it was tough (rock climbing, surfing, backpacking, sailing).
Put simply...my mind and body was not able to function at what it really had the ability to because of a twitch in my brain that no one could figure out.

Marijuana slows the pace of my brain to the point that i become creative and smart. I play music with friends now, I laugh 10 times more, I can get lost in a book, I can feel the vibes of this planet, surfing is so much more enjoyable and ive gotten better at everything i do(studying, work, relationships, and on and on)

Why am i committing a crime when i smoke this natural marijuana plant?

Im going to be passing through D.C. on the 23rd of December and Im going to have a peaceful protest. If any of you beautiful people have some ideas for my protest, id love it.

Ganga has made my mind clear and i think its ignorance to not understand the benefits of this drug.

Im 19 and have finished a year of college with a 3.2 gpa and not even giving it my top top effort all under the usuage of marijuana. I struggled thorughout highschool by cutting a lot of corners to get through and socially i was the quiet guy who never talked.

only peace,
Billy

A someone doing a film degree, the quality of my work is a shit load better if I have a little spliff or two before an essay to get my head straight.

I have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, and I have also been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which both together make school incredibly hard for me. Although the Aspergers isn't as bad as it was say, 7 years ago (as I am now more socially-stable), it still makes it hard for me to have any interest in what I'm bein taught at school - and the ADHD makes it even worse by addin attention problems to the whole situation. I noticed that although weed seems to make classes more fun for me, it is NOT good for school in general. Why? Because it seems to make concentration even harder for me, and I often forget what I'm bein taught or what I just read/studied. Although I do know that people tend to react differently to weed, there is still that general effect that temporarily impairs your short term memory, and occasionaly makes you zone out.

My own experience on weed + school: makes class fun for once, yet tougher all at the same time. I'll just keep it for social/relaxation purposes only.

Weed puts me into very very deep thought and I am unable to concentrate on any of my surroundings for more than a minute. And because I'm so lost in thought it makes it hard for me to actually pull things out of my head (I've stood around for five minutes trying to tell my parents something but I couldn't think of what I was telling them.)

I think it just fucks with your attention span, I don't think it definitely shifts it in one direction or another.

i have attention issues too but when something does hold onto my attention for longer than usual then it seems like theres different benefits between being sober and stoned.
