I hear ya... I'd be pretty wary of feeding my kid cannabis every day. Though, if it was proven to be effective treatment for ADD... it sounds like it would probably be healthier than taking a hit of ritalin a day.

My buddy had ADD (or something like that) and was given a prescription for Dexadrin that he still has filled. Back in our partying days a few of us would take his pills (not advisable) and go out partying... I swear the stuff was like speed, I could drink 20 beers and still rage against the machine... I can't imagine someone taking one of those a day to 'normalize'.
