I’d like to know what anyone is using that they really think is helping them that isn’t taking traditional prescription medication for ADHD. Please make sure whatever it is can be found “over the counter” or readily available commercially. Please keep it to simple items that are easily found separately - i.e. a B vitamin of B6, 12 and vitamin C along with Magnesium glycinate or something. If you notice it helping in a specific area, please say what it is.

I have to throw in a couple caveats, just to make sure we can get a decent picture of what is actually helping, so…

Please nothing illicit or illegal.
Please no blends or other proprietary herbal combinations. If a blend helps you, great…but we don’t know what is in the blend that is helping, and someone may not have access to that product where they live.
Please be specific, like making sure to differentiate between magnesium glycinate and magnesium L-threonate.

Don’t be a dick and make shit up about me. I couldn’t take CBD/THC products no matter what because my job drug tests, so I don’t get a choice despite your blaming me for not “getting help”, and that help in your case has to be CBD/THC based. For the record IDGAF if people use pot/thc/cbd. Whatever works for you. I asked you to provide a source that proves the legality of what you’re saying, but instead you doubled down on asshole. There are still states where ANY concentration of CBD and/or THC is illegal in ANY product, so whatever man. So IT STILL VARIES BY STATE. Any federal DOT job makes any amount of pot in your system illegal, you get fired. Guess you just don’t want to hear that.
