Best Answer

In terms of making a person functional with ADHD, marijuana shows no evidence and has numerous evidence to the contrary. Marijuana can increase the odds of psychosis, schizophrenina-related disorders, and induce apathy and memory loss. It may indirectly treat hyperactivity by increasing apathy, but in no ways does this treat ADHD.
