Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

If you take marijuana in ADHD, chances of aggravating of symptoms would increase. Better to avoid it. Marijuana would increase dopomine level that increase the activity or may lead to manic phase which would difficult to control with ADHD. Better to take ritalin only. That would help you rather than marijuana.

Thanks
