My personal feelings:
I think it is a good possibility that drug-abuse or use, prescription and contraband, could be a factor in the cause of attention disorders. Some people have said that smoking marijuana helps them to focus, but others believe it is more detrimental to their problem. I personally believe that it can help temporarily if it is used very lightly, but as with prescription medications, once the effect wears off (probably after an hour or two), it no longer helps, and if more than a very small amount is used, then it destroys the attention span altogether. For this reason, I would not recommend marijuana use any more than I would recommend Ritalin for symptom control of attention disorders.
