Q: my son is adhd and was addicted to drugs and marijuana, does the marijuana make the adhs worse as he
Hello Anstett1,
There isn't any information about marijuana on Health Central, but there are groups who believe it is a viable alternative to drugs like Ritalin and Adderall. The best thing to do is speak to your son's doctor about the best course of treatment for the ADHD. While online sites like Health Central are great places to get the information you need to ask all the right questions, they can not take the place of your doctor's solid medical advice.
Take care and stay in touch. Let us know how you and your son are doing!
