At Cantourage Clinic, we understand the daily challenges faced by those living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This complex condition often manifests through a variety of symptoms, each of which can significantly impact quality of life. Here are the top symptoms of ADHD and how medical cannabis can offer a pathway to relief and better living:
Inattention: Difficulty maintaining focus, especially on tasks that require prolonged mental effort. This can lead to disorganisation and forgetfulness in daily activities. Individuals with ADHD often find it challenging to follow through on tasks, which can affect their performance at work or school.
Hyperactivity: Excessive movement, fidgeting, and an inability to stay seated, often seen in children but also present in adults. This hyperactivity can manifest as a constant need to move, which can be disruptive in social and professional settings.
Impulsivity: Hasty actions without forethought, including interrupting others and making important decisions without considering the consequences. Impulsivity can lead to risky behaviours and can significantly affect relationships and job performance.
Executive Dysfunction: Struggles with planning, time management, and achieving long-term goals. This can result in missed deadlines, difficulty organising tasks, and challenges in managing daily responsibilities.
Emotional Dysregulation: Intense emotions and mood swings, leading to frustration, anxiety, and depression. Emotional dysregulation can make it difficult to handle stress and maintain stable relationships.
At Cantourage Clinic, we are pioneering the use of medical cannabis as a supportive treatment for ADHD. Here’s how medical cannabis can be used for ADHD:
Enhancing Focus and Attention: Certain strains of medical cannabis have been shown to improve focus and cognitive function, helping patients stay on task and complete projects more efficiently. Cannabinoids like THC and CBD can interact with the endocannabinoid system to modulate neurotransmitter release, potentially enhancing attention and concentration.
Calming Hyperactivity: The calming effects of cannabis can reduce hyperactive behaviours, allowing for better self-control and an increased ability to sit still and concentrate. This can be particularly beneficial in environments that require prolonged periods of focus and minimal movement.
Reducing Impulsivity: By promoting a sense of calm and well-being, medical cannabis can help reduce impulsive actions and enhance decision-making skills. This can lead to more thoughtful responses and better management of behavioural impulses.
Improving Executive Function: Cannabis can aid in the regulation of neurotransmitters, potentially improving executive function, including planning and organisational skills. This can help individuals with ADHD better manage their time, set and achieve goals, and handle complex tasks more effectively.
Stabilising Emotions: The mood-stabilising properties of medical cannabis can help manage emotional dysregulation, reducing anxiety and depression, and promoting a more balanced emotional state. This can lead to improved mental health and a greater sense of well-being.
Some studies suggest that THC, through its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, may help regulate attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity—core symptoms of ADHD. A small 2017 pilot study published in European Neuropsychopharmacology found that adults with ADHD experienced slight improvements in impulsivity and hyperactivity after using a cannabis extract containing THC.
