Many strains have been created over the last several decades with medical legalization in several states, and in the last few years hundreds of new strains have been developed to help users who are diagnosed with ADHD. With an increasing amount of alternatives to pharmaceutical medicine, some people are finding their way to cannabis.
A particular compound in cannabis that has also been proven to have medical benefits is CBD – that stands for cannabidiol – which is a cannabis compound that provides medical benefits without the psychoactive effects. With or without the psychoactive effects of THC cannabis, users can still find medical benefits from strains that can behave like an amphetamine to help alleviate the symptoms of ADHD.
Here are some strains that have been developed that behave like an amphetamine:
With a THC:CBD ratio of 5:8, Leafs By Snoop 3D CBD is a preferred method of treatment for pain, inflammation and muscle tension, though consumers susceptible to the THC-induced anxiety can rely on the happy and relaxing balance of CBD. Being a sativa means it’s perfect for those who need to get through the day while staying focused.
Another CBD high strain, AC/DC boasts one of the highest CBD percentages with a THC:CBD ratio of 1:20. If you suffer from THC-induced anxiety then this strain will be right up your alley. It’s ideal if you would love to relieve your anxiety all without any psychoactive effects. Delve deep into the production of AC/DC with Merry Jane's original series Seed to Strain.

Patients can expect a powerful relaxing strain that will be uplifting and that focuses the mind in the morning and afternoon.
CBD strains have skyrocketed within the last several years because of the medical benefits, and one that has been developed to help Adderall users is Harlequin, which has a THC:CBD of 2:5.

OG or “Ocean Grown” strains have been popular for a very long time, but the medical benefits from this highly potent strain are less known and offer a very calm and relaxing feeling. You can use this to end the night and wake up rested and refreshed in the morning.
A strain that has gained notoriety in the last few years for its beautiful frosty flowers and its potent effects is Gorilla Glue #4. It was accidently created by farmer Josey Whales when some of the Chem Sis plants he owned pollinated his Sour Dubb, causing the emergence of one of the clearest cerebral indicas around. Overall it’s a great frosty strain to keep you relaxed and clear-headed from any worries you may have.
