does cannabis and or thc interfere with ritalin effect?

hi all

i haven't found anything very conclusive or informative, but there's some mention of ritalin and cannabis attaching to the same cb1 receptors??? if so, can pot out compete ritalin, rendering ritalin ineffective?

I don't smoke pot a lot, but i do take thc or pot almost every single night... usually just enough to sleep - sometimes more, lol. never in the day. if i smoke too much at night, say, half or a whole joint, i feel it the next day. a pot hangover.

i'm also definitely interested in people who notice no effect and are happily indulging in both ritalin and pot.....

20 years ago, i tried ritalin, and could barely tolerate 5 or 10 mg. i'd get jittery, and noticed it could really focus me. now, since i take thc or pot, i'm up to 20mg... i don't notice many or any side effects --- it seems to help my focus. we've been upping my dose.............5 ...10......15 over three months... now i just started 20.  

thanks so much. stay healthy.

    Hmm, I have not heard that THC somehow affects the absorption of ritalin. As far as I know, they affect different parts of the brain, And when I used ritalin, I ate different foods with THC and not only,[Removed by Mod] and other sweets, but this did not affect the effect of ritalin in any way. Perhaps it all depends on the method of taking THC, because I don't smoke marijuana, but I eat THC products, perhaps something else that you use affects you, it's better for you to consult a doctor and he will tell you exactly how to use the medicine correctly. I hope you will be all right and wish you to be healthy.
