I have a very questioning class this semester... A student said her brother has ADHD and was prescribed medical marijuana to help alleviate symptoms, particularly insomnia. Now, I know I'm in liberal California, but I would think that this practice is fairly unusual and would not alleviate many symptoms. Given that I regularly experience insomnia, I may get a referral from the student for the doctor's name. Does anyone have further info of how pot would help ADHD--other than the relaxation, maybe?
