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.

  • I have never been a big fan of smoking marijuana. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the benefits of cannabis, which is why I was very excited to learn about medical marijuana. Many people think that medical marijuana is just a means to get high. Still, it's actually a lot more than that. Medical marijuana has been used for thousands of years to treat all sorts of diseases and conditions, and it's still used today to treat everything from glaucoma to cancer. There are dozens of different strains of marijuana that affect people differently, so you can choose one specifically for your needs.
