If someone takes a couple small hits and doesn't feel high, are the effects still there but in such a way that you don't notice them? Or are they truly not there, like the cannabinoid receptors aren't activated enough to produce psychological effect?

I was thinking about THC for ADD/HD and the thought came up, these kids aren't necessarily getting high, they just seem to have better focus without being piss-yourself-and-run-into-a-wall stoned.
 
This doesn't belong in BDD, as it is a cannabis related question, so I'm going to move it to Cannabis Discussion for you, you'll probably get some more answers there as well. :)

Yeah weed helps my add a lot, the smaller hits the better. I'm kinda on a tbreak at the moment to lower my tolerance so I can get the focusing effects back. I'd rather not go thru weed so quickly cuz I'm on a budget
 
Even the smallest ammounts of THC you should still be able to feel if your punching a bong. If you dont wanna get as high then smoke joints and dont smoke them with agression, just chill out with it and take tokes when you feel like.
 
yeah, its called a tolerance. When I smoke a couple hits from a joint, I don't get high. I can feel a change, but i'm not high. I need a nice bong rip to actually get stoned.

For me- THC was like a wonderdrug for my focus and concentration. Unbelieveable. I got soooo much work done when I smoked. I had to stop smoking regularly years ago because I suddenly started to get panic attacks every time I smoked. I swear I haven't been as effective since. Maybe I really do need to go on an ADD drug...
 
i have some pretty severe ADD and smoking weed tipped my mind over the edge of no return. i literally cannot add 2 two digit numbers in my head.

i would absolutely not recommend weed for any type of mental disorder... it has the tendency to make them all worse in the long run
 
I have no idea if I got an answer yet...

Everyone's talking about bud+ADD... I just want to know if it is actually causing any psychological effects with unnoticeable doses or not.

I have severe a.d (h) d, it's definitely not a disorder buddy.
Weed helps me concentrate but makes me lazy as fuck

Little hits that don't get you high = tolerance

I would think so. Generally it's recommended to use small doses of weed for psychological disorders like ADHD/anxiety/depression/etc as larger doses can be unpredictable and may exacerbate the problem. As long as you're taking THC into your body, you'll experience threshold effects even if you're not "stoned".
 
i mean i have been smoking for 4years daily and 1-3 tokes get me high, 3-6 gets me pretty stoned, and 6-15 rips gets me fucked up...some days i only take 1-3 tokes per day, others it is 20-60 tokes lmao
 
I can only see this happening if you have a big tolerance or if you're smoking very crappy herb like stuff that's worse than schwag.

I know people who have ADD/ADHD and smoking herb does not help them as much as Ritalin, Adderall, or Strattera do.
 
just a round with the lightbulb vape, then smoking smoking the vapebud out of a pipe gets me high just about every time. but yes, thc will manifest its active ingretient on the body even at lower doses. its just about how much it takes you to get high.
 
It would seem to me, the act of sitting down and actually preparing a bowl/joint/ect to smoke and smoking it slowly with little thought of needing to get "high" and just enjoying the act itself would be calming on its own. A good Sativa would seemingly also have the same effects as adderall on someone with add, speeding them up to slow them down so to speak. Is ADD real? Sometimes I feel like I could have it, other times I just realize I'm human. If you believe taking a single rip of marijuana a day will help your focus and cognitive thinking, then it probably will.
 
weed prolly makes my concentration worse ...
and i thought it did that too most people ? no?
 
1-3 bowls (in one sitting, depending on quality of weed) helps my focus greatly

more than that and i'm just baked, most medicinal value is lost :)
