Cannabis for ADHD Relief

Cannabis for ADHD Relief

Cannabis for ADHD Relief

Cannabis for ADHD Relief – ADHD, known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that often presents itself in children and early childhood, but often persists into adulthood. ADHD is something often diagnosed in children but can be diagnosed in adults as well, although not as common. It’s been estimated that 1.1 million Canadians struggle with ADHD, reported by the Center for ADHD Awareness Canada. For those who have experienced symptoms of ADHD, to say they’re not ideal is an understatement. For some, navigating everyday tasks may be difficult. Not being able to concentrate on work or school can impede work ethic and overall work completion. ADHD medication isn’t always desired as it may not work for some, and could potentially make matters worse than better. We’ve talked about the benefits of CBD in a previous Healing Co blog, but what are the benefits of CBD pertaining directly to ADHD? What are the benefits of THC pertaining to ADHD? As alternative, natural medication is being used for a variety of ailments, CBD and THC has been more commonly used to treat ADHD over prescription medication as individuals may find that prescription medication for ADHD treatment has potential adverse effects.

Cannabinoids Found in Cannabis – General Effects

There are two main cannabinoids you’ll find in a Cannabis plant, THC and CBD. THC is the psychoactive component which works to provide a sense of “high”. The other cannabinoid, CBD, is the non-psychoactive component that doesn’t give you a “high” feeling, but has anti-inflammatory, pain reducing, and anxiolytic properties.

Both compounds work by interacting with our endocannabinoid system, binding to CB-1 and CB-2 receptors in our brain and nervous system. In terms of the psychoactive component THC, this compound primarily binds to CB-1 receptors in our brain. This produces a sense of euphoria and the “high” feeling that’s associated with cannabis. CBD binds very weakly if at all to CB-1 receptors which is why CBD is said to work to decrease the psychoactive elements of THC. Both CBD and THC have very similar medical benefits, despite their vast differences in effects. They both work to decrease pain, aid in the reduction of anxiety, and nausea. CBD works more to migraines whereas THC works more to reduce symptoms of low appetite and insomnia. Although there is a large difference in effect when it comes to THC and CBD, they both work in their own ways to provide insane health benefits for an array of conditions.

What are the Effects of Cannabis on ADHD Directly? Cannabis for ADHD Relief

In terms of CBD, there isn’t a whole lot of research on the treatment of ADHD with CBD. That being said, a small study was conducted in 2017 regarding the use of CBD oil for ADHD. There was a noted insignificant improvement in overall brain function and symptom reduction, but there was an apparent improvement in areas of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Its been said that along with the common cognitive symptoms of ADHD, anxiety and depression also plays a role in the lives of those who have ADHD. CBD has shown to help mental clarity by interacting with specific brain receptors which showed to improve concentration levels. CBD oil is very common because of its anxiolytic properties, which is why CBD is said to help ADHD patients in the sense that it reduces the anxiety and depression often associated with ADHD.

THC works differently than CBD in terms of ADHD treatment in the sense that it’s said to reduce some of the more severe symptoms of ADHD which include agitation, lack of restraint, and irritability. The cause of ADHD is said to be unknown, meaning scientists aren’t quite sure what exactly contributes to a person having ADHD. That being said, scientists have observed that people with ADHD have a different level of dopamine in their brain versus neurotypical people, being that people with ADHD contain a lower level of dopamine compared to the neurotypical brain. Dopamine is responsible for the regulation of our emotions and our overall ability to think, plan, and achieve specific rewards. It’s the main component to us feeling pleasure and reward. It’s said that dopamine may have an affect on the ways in which we process thoughts, including overall memory and attention. THC has the ability to increase our dopamine levels in the reward center of our brain for a temporary amount of time. The problem with THC working to increase dopamine levels short-term, it may dull the overall release of dopamine long-term. Although THC can be used as a relief to ADHD symptoms short-term, the longer term effects may be adverse.

Products to Check Out – Cannabis for ADHD Relief

The Healing Co carries a large variety of products that we’d love to recommend that help ease symptoms of ADHD as well as reduce the anxiety often associated with ADHD. Products containing a 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC are said to be the best aid to reducing symptoms of ADHD, and sole CBD products work great to reduce the anxiety experienced along with the symptoms of ADHD.

Healing Co CBD Tinctures: The Healing Co has both Full Spectrum CBD Tinctures as well as flavoured CBD tinctures that work great to reduce and diminish unwanted symptoms of anxiety and stress. Our Full Spectrum CBD Tincture benefits from the Entourage Effect, which we have discussed in a previous article! It’s the idea that the cannabinoids in cannabis work better together rather than in isolation. Our flavoured CBD Tinctures are made with CBD isolate, allowing you to receive solely CBD. Our flavoured tinctures are great for those that don’t particularly like the taste of Full Spectrum CBD products.

Healing Co 1:1 Tincture: These 1:1 Tinctures are gluten free and made with MCT and Olive oil and work great to alleviate the feelings of distraction and overall memory fog that ADHD may bring some individuals. These tinctures are easy to take, as you’re able to mix them with a drink of your choice with ease.

Healing Co 1:1 Gummy Bears: Containing 10mg of THC along with 10mg of CBD, these gummy bears are a great way to reduce symptoms of ADHD, easily and discreetly. For a total of 300mg per tin, we can guarantee these cute gummy bears are sure to get you focused and ready for your day ahead. Not to mention they taste absolutely delicious!

Halley’s Comets Jelly Bomb: Halley’s Comet Jelly Bombs by Twisted Extracts is another great way to naturally medicate your ADHD! A strain specific, full spectrum gummy that contains 40mg of THC and 40mg of CBD per gummy. These Jelly Bombs are very easy to dose as they split up into 8 equal pieces for 5mg of THC and 5mg of CBD per piece.
