   Does Smoking help you Concentrate?? (ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder board)

Quote from DoubleVision:
This is just a plain attempt to excuse unlawful and unhealthy behavior.


thats a little rude. everyone has a drug of choice. whats yours? adderall? benadryl? xanax? you are apposed to smoking a little bit of a plant, but i'm sure you'd cram a fistful of psychoactive substances like amphetamines and prozac down you or your kid's throat if a doctor told you it was okay.


get a grip.

Thanks for the perspective BearBoy.

Did you know that the Aztecs and Mayans have been smoking Marihuana for 3000 years??

Just because a Eurocentric Anglo like DoubleVision, thinks it should be illegal, doesn't necessarily make it illegal in my book, but DV thinks he/she knows best.

Smoking is bad for the body, period. That is a scientific fact. If it was taken as a rude comment, sorry. However, I will not apologize for the statement I made about smoking marijuana and the excuse that was made about it being a cultural thing.

If what I said is taken as rude, please examine how you replied...I do not appreciate the notion that I would "cram" a fistful of psychoactive substances down my child's throat. He makes the choice whether to try them or not and while they are not the healthiest thing for the body normally, in ADD they can cause him to have more control...HE MAKES THE DECISION!

Posters in here talk about making ADD sufferers feel judged, and just what does making a statement about shoving psychoactive meds or Prozac do to make him feel accepted? My problem with your original post is the fact that this site is not just frequented by adults...my son is 12 and I don't need him getting the idea planted in his head from other ADD sufferers that smoking weed or cigarettes will help his cause. There is enough peer pressure at school let alone having someone tout the use of such substances as a help for ADD.
