Interestingly, a small hit does wonders for me. That point where I'm not quite high, but just starting to feel it? Yeah, I can sit down and do one thing. Its like being in full control of the hyperfocus, which others have described here.

That's really funny, because weed in any dose actually makes me unable to focus on anything for more than about 2-3 minutes. Not sure if it affects other people that way.

I want to second the warning about self-diagnosis here. I made the mistake of trying to self-diagnose a number of times during my college years, and the biggest problem is that even when you do see a psychiatrist you'll be telling them your symptoms with whatever disorder you were looking at in mind.

An example of how seemingly ADD symptoms can be misinterpreted: I can't sit down and focus on something for more than a minute or two, whether it's a game or movie. At first glance this looks like ADD, but lack of focus can also be caused by depression or anxiety. Also keep in mind that *everyone* feels more focused and in most cases flat out happier on stimulants like adderall or ritalin.
