目的：患有多动症的人更有可能使用大麻，但人们对大麻对多动症症状、多动症药物副作用或多动症相关执行功能障碍的影响知之甚少。方法：学生（n = 1,738）完成了一项在线调查，其中包括多动症症状、大麻使用、大麻对多动症症状和药物副作用以及执行功能障碍的感知影响。结果：使用过大麻的多动症参与者报告说，大麻对多动症的许多症状（例如多动、冲动）具有急性有益作用。此外，他们认为大麻可以改善大部分药物副作用（例如烦躁、焦虑）。最后，大麻使用频率是症状严重程度和执行功能障碍之间关联的重要调节因素。结论：结果表明，患有多动症的人可能会使用大麻来自我治疗许多症状和药物副作用，并且更频繁地使用可能会减轻与多动症相关的执行功能障碍。
Objective: People with ADHD are more likely to use cannabis but little is known about the effects of cannabis on ADHD symptoms, ADHD medication side effects, or ADHD-related executive dysfunction. Method: Students (n = 1,738) completed an online survey containing measures of ADHD symptoms, cannabis use, perceived effects of cannabis on ADHD symptoms and medication side effects, as well as executive dysfunction. Results: Participants with ADHD who have used cannabis reported that cannabis has acute beneficial effects on many symptoms of ADHD (e.g., hyperactivity, impulsivity). Further, they perceived cannabis to improve most of their medication side effects (e.g., irritability, anxiety). Finally, cannabis use frequency was a significant moderator of the associations between symptom severity and executive dysfunction. Conclusion: Results suggest people with ADHD may be using cannabis to self-medicate for many of their symptoms and medication side effects and that more frequent use may mitigate ADHD-related executive dysfunction.
