While we aren't doctors, it is a bit awkward, possibly dangerous to actually ask a doc if it's ok to let your kid smoke pot.. There are no physical interactions between marijuana and other drugs, smoking pot isn't going to cause seizures, heart attacks, liver damage etc. But it may have some pharmacological impact (ie. making the stattera less effective.)

If you want an opinion from someone who's been on ADHD drugs; do your kid a favor and throw that shit away, the ADD epidemic is motivated by a combination of drug company profit margins, the educational system's inability to cope with children that don't fit "the mold", and plain lazy parenting. Whatever the reasons may be, thousands of generations of children grew up without the need for mood altering drugs before the inception of ADHD, we've let a handful of people dictate what a normal child is to the entire world.

I agree 100%. Now if my child got to that point to where doctors were pushing my child onto that shit, I would decline and go home. Sit down and seriously contemplate letting my kid give weed a try. It certainly cant be anything worse than what the doctor was going to give.

Letting your kid smoke weed as an alternative to medicine is looked down upon by many. Although it might be more effective with less side effects it's still looked down upon.

I am NO doc but i wouldnt let ur kid SMOKE weed, if anything if i was going to let my kid use weed i would try food cannabis foods for 1 its easier to control the amount he is having. Just a thought.

My wife takes adderall which is different chemically, but smoking helps cut down on the moodiness, the shakes from it bieng a stimulant and helps increase her appetite. it is definitely good to help balance out the side effects of the medication.

if your trying to counteract some of the bad side effects of the meds than it is a good way to go just in my opinion, but you should look into cannabis foods not smoke.

if he wants to just get high tell to go grow his own
