What unintended ADHD medication were you taking before you realized?

Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

suprised nobody said smoking weed, i smoke like 10 times a day minimum
- That sounds a bit concerning, ngl >_<
  
  People that "smoke 10x a day" usually take half a day to go through a single joint. Still a lot of weed but not at the level you're thinking.
  
  You would be surprised. When I am tolerant for a high dose I can vape 6 or 7 times a day which equates to around 3g of strong weed. And that would be every day. About 90g per month.
  Yes I have a problem.
  
  I had to get rid of my vape to cut down on the ease of smoking cuz my tolerance was such i was needing to step up to wax concentrates (and i don't wanna). I have a huge sack in front of me but needing to roll a j is juuust enough to slow me down some
  
  I had to stop smoking because of health reasons. My lungs are fucked. Now when I consume it's only rosin oil vape or edibles.
  
  I assume that's somewhere where weed is legal and cheap (and vapes are available)
  In my country, 90 grams of weed would cost you 1800 euros at street prices (though I suppose at 90 grams a month you're moving more than some low level dealers so maybe you get a discount). That's slightly above the median monthly salary of ~1600 euros.
  
  I started when it was illegal and now there are shops where I can buy it like alcohol. But I couldn't afford that so I learned to grow my own.
  
  Gotcha. I am not that familiar with the lingo :)
  
  i normally use a flower vape, it uses little refillable capsules that hold about .1 gram, so if i smoke ten times i know i have only smoked 1 gram, but yeah thats still a decent amount imo.
  
  It's used as a treatment in some places. I believe it's a qualifier for UK medical cannabis.
- Weed can be very helpful for focus. Not necessarily very helpful for clear thinking, but it can be very good for getting started on something so that you can come back to it later when you're sober.
  
  It’s also fantastic if you have trouble breaking out of a negative thought cycle. On stressful nights, weed is the only thing that gets my brain to finally STFU and sleep.
  
  Doesn't always work that way for me, unfortunately. Weed often makes it impossible to avoid or ignore negative self-image problems that I'm usually constantly pushing down.
