"Cannabinoids are a very viable alternative to treating adolescents with ADD and ADHD," she told Foxnews.com. "I have a lot of adult patients who swear by it."


Wow, I wouldnt be suprised to see a sudden increase in ADD cases.

8. Do you know anyone who focuses better on pot?

Plus it causes the heart to beat faster. It might calm them down, but I don't know that it would help with say...school work.

10. Actually, I do focus better on pot.

When I am not stoned I have far too many things going through my head at one time to concentrate on one. When I smoke I am able to focus in great detail on one issue.

I smoked throughout college and law school. I graduated with a 3.9 GPA in college and finished second in my law school class out of 212 graduates. Most of my exams in law school were taken while I was high.

9. I am an extremely hyperactive person.

I have always said that smoking pot just brings me down to a normal level. I have never had the couch potato syndrome from smoking. Pot makes me be able to focus on one task versus trying to do ten things at one time.
