The brain of somebody with ADHD works differently to the average person, as such; stimulants will calm them down while tranquilizing agents can stimulate them. Cannabis (marijuana) usually calms the average person, and so would most probably stimulate an individual who suffers from ADHD or ADD.
The effects of marijuana in the ADHD population has not been fulled studied or determined. However, other clinical studies provide evidence that marijuana increases memory-related loss which could worsen existing ADHD symptoms. On the contrary, in some cases doctors have prescribed marijuana (where legal) for ADHD.
By smoking it...
No, they can't.
There is a little evidence suggesting medical marijuana might help ADHD, but it is still considered far outside the realm of mainstream behavior/stimulant treatment.
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.
