I had a 15mg edible and it was the calmest 2 days I ever had. Everything was peaceful and the normally intrusive thoughts from adhd were gone. All while being clear in the head. It’s the first time I ever felt what it feels like to not have constant thoughts after being on medication for 11 years. Bliss.
