And when I looked at the data, there is actually some tiny studies, you know, there are some that are funded by marijuana organizations, so that doesn't mean they're wrong, but it's harder to evaluate how objective they were.

But there's some research that suggests there is some sub-segment, and I don't think it's people with ADHD in general, but some subset of that population who may actually do better. And most of the time they were looking at marijuana rather than pure THC. And what I was going to say is there's probably at least 70 or 80 other psychoactive components to marijuana.

Not most of them is in a higher concentration as a THC or CBD, but They're out there. Maybe they are more important, even at lower concentrations.

Yeah, so there's some well-done research showing nicotine is helpful for improving some of the executive functions, sustained attention, and I'm not sure which of the executive functions, but they help people focus, be sharper, do better. There is actually a major pharmaceutical company who is developing a nicotine receptor product specifically for ADHD.

And they abandoned that several years ago, and I haven't been able to find word as to why that was abandoned, whether there was some other side effect. It's worth throwing out there that although nicotine in many ways acts like a stimulant, it actually is moderately unique. And I hate people who say unique means one of a kind, so I can't modify it in any way.

Unusual, maybe not the only one, unusual in that it both arouses people and reduces anxiety simultaneously. Most of our stimulants are again banging away at the sympathetic nervous system and that's banging away on good arousal and bad arousal. So nicotine again seems to be both calming and helping alert or focus people.

And as long as they're taking it in a way that's not clearly detrimental to their health, which smoking and vaping and probably chewing are, well, not probably, definitely are, and if it's affordable, because some of these products are pretty pricey, at least the chewing gums or the Nicorette that was used for helping people with smoking cessation, I have some people who feel that it's been an important and useful part of their regimen.
