I started on lisdexamfetamine recently. My productivity is much higher. My focus still drifts elsewhere, but I find I recenter on my main task more quickly.
ADHD is profoundly genetic by the way. If your son has it then you or his mother does. The current thinking is that it's so widespread because it's a survival adaptation which happens to not always fit well into the structures of our modern life. A study in Kenya compared a nomadic population with a settled one. The genes responsible are well known, so they could identify who in each population had them and compare their outcomes. Among the settled population the kids with ADHD genes had worse grades in school, and the adults were less well nourished. Among the hunter-gatherer nomads, the people with ADHD genes were more well nourished. We probably shouldn't medicate kids for it as much as we do, but I'm saying in my case a little bump of amphetamine in the morning does me good. -Adam From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Ken Hohhof Sent: Friday, May 03, 2024 3:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Pot OK, looking at it another way. Some people need meds to be normal. My son has a prescription for lisdexamfetamine because he has ADHD. He's not impaired, and it's not like he's a meth head. That said, I can see a problem if your employee wants to smoke a joint in the workplace. Bigtime secondhand smoke problem. And if you don't want him operating machinery or vehicles, your insurance company would probably agree. Has he asked to bring his emotional support alligator to work yet? ---- Original Message ---- From: "Jan-GAMs" Sent: 5/3/2024 2:20:33 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Pot First I would ask for the Dr. to call me. 2nd I would suspend the employee until the Dr. calls me. It could be a type of pot that doesn't impair but I wouldn't want to take the chance. Third, I'd find someone not impaired and have them do the job. Put the doper in charge of a broom until layoff time. On 5/3/24 09:40, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: Darrin makes me think of Samantha.... oh, Samantha...

I have a card in my pocket that says I am old enough to buy whisky too, but I doubt any employer would be OK with me sucking a flask while working. I know certain prescription conventional drugs can make you not safe to operate equipment. But this guy had to operate equipment as part of his job. I would make an accommodation for someone that had pain meds temporarily that left them a bit impaired but not as an every day thing. This guy was MAX drama too. One thing I tell everyone when I hire them, the only thing I really care about is no drama. Do not bring your drama to work.
