Question: Do you think the increased diagnosis of AD(H)D can be attached to the increase of TCE in Marjiuana!?
I would write a lengthy discription of my research, but since I'm not done with it, and because I have ADD myself and don't have enough mindpower to write that, I'll just post my question and some facts!.
(for the record, I am not and never was a pot user)
9% of America's Youth has ADHD or ADD (4% ADD)
http://www!.washingtonpost!.com/wpdyn/cont!.!.!.
This is a mass increase from 1997-2004, which wavered from 6-7%
http://www!.childtrendsdatabank!.org/indic!.!.!.
Now onto Pot, TCE in marijuana has increased from 5!.34% THC to 8!.14% in the 5 years from 2001 to 2006!.
http://www!.usdoj!.gov/ndic/pubs21/21137/m!.!.!.
Its common knowledge (and true might I add) that Marijiuana considerably descreases one's ability to focus on tasks and short term memory!.
What do you think about this!?

I assume your talking about the creditable use of medical pot to treat symptoms of ADD!. The problem your facing hear as with any treatment dealing with diagnosis'sdiagnosis, is that every one is unique and has a fingure print for a brain!. So will pot treat some symptoms the answer is yes in some cases!. So will other medicine!. In your research I hope you weighed on a neuro-chemical level the long term and short term side effect of pot and different medicine!. I hope you also gave the success rate In the original trials of those medicines and pot!. My personal opinion when it come to children alot of things can be tried to subside the tendencies of add before resorting to medicine!. I also believe the life changes should be made first, then suplimented with the medicine!. You can and should also apply that to the use of medical pot!. Now for the person who wrote that question above long term vrs short term side effects!. Target demographic vrs manipulating statistics!. The inaccurate use of words to diagnoise or classify a human condition vrs mass pseudo injections!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't you mean THC Oh yep I see now!. Screw the short term memory!. It doesn't affect my long term memory & I have to use it for PTSD! So I think SMOKE IT IF YOU GOT IT!!!!! Blaze on!
