As a cannabis professional, and former \"budtender\" at a medical marijuana dispensary, I've talked with, and guided, many patients with ADHD. You are certainly on the right path in regard to using sativas for day time use. First and foremost, it is vitally important to remember that we are all DIFFERENT. Just like we all metabolize food and drink differently from one another, we metabolize cannabinoids differently, as well. What works for someone else with the same condition, may not work for you, and vice versa. My suggestion would be to experiment with different sativas and sativa leaning hybrids, as many patients with ADHD find that they help to encourage focus, concentration, and creativity, without the sleepy, relaxing effects often brought on by indicas, or indica leaning hybrids (those with high levels of anxiety tend to benefit from indica leaning strains). You may find heavy indicas beneficial for night time use if you have trouble getting to sleep.\r\n\r\nThere is no \"right\" answer when it comes to specific strain selection. It's also important to not get caught up in THC levels. I would suggest beginning with a sativa strain lower in THC, and perhaps higher in CBD, such as \"Cannatonic\". If low THC strains are enough, then stick with those! If you feel as though you need something a bit more potent, but still mellow, try to find Jack Herer, or something of the like. Sour Diesel, a more potent cannabis strain, is another wonderful sativa strain favored by individuals with ADHD. \r\n\r\nHonestly, there are thousands amongst thousands of cannabis strains on today's ever expanding market. The best advice that I can give is to try a variety of them until you find what works best FOR YOU. If you visit a dispensary, inform your budtender of your condition and symptoms, so they can help guide you toward the right strain! Leafly and AllBud are also great resources to check out for strain information and reviews.\r\n\r\n I also HIGHLY suggest that you look into \"microdosing\" with cannabis edibles. If you have access to a dispensary, or a trusted individual who specializes in making cannabis infused edible products, start out with a 2-5 mg dose of a cannabis infusion (I prefer cannabis infused coconut oil) in the morning time, on a day off if you haven't tried edibles before, to judge how it effects you, personally. Remember, start low and slow with dosing. Increase by a mg or two at a time until you find your own personal \"perfect\" dose. Some of us need more, and some of us need less. Though you may or may not feel the traditional \"high\" associated with THC infused products, introducing cannabinoids to your system regularly can help your body and mind reach homeostasis. This has to do with the endocannabinoid system. I will leave some links, below, explaining it in full detail. I will also leave a link explaining the benefits of microdosing. If you're really interested in exploring even further, get the book \"Cannabis Pharmacy\" by Michael Backes (https://www.amazon.com/Cannabis-Pharmacy-Practical-Medical-Marijuana/dp/157912951X). I truly hope that this has been a helpful response. Finding the right products that work best for you can sometimes be a journey, but it can be a fun one, and totally worth it in the end! Cannabis is, IMHO, is the best medicine.
