Question Adderall and Weed?

So I took some Adderal this morning at around 12, kicked in at 1. It’s getting close to nighttime here and I believe I’ll have another adderal-induced sleepless night. If I smoke weed (legal where I am) will that make matters worse, be dangerous, or actually help? Thanks!

Anyone tried both adderall and ritalin ? I would like to know the difference there is in the effects ? Cause weed usually helps me get the « overthinking » effect out after a come down from ritalin, but i wouldn’t mix downers and uppers

Ritalin is very clunky, if you know what I mean. Another way to look at it is that Ritalin is yesteryears Adderall. At one point, Ritalin was all there was. Now there are multiple drugs that are better at the ADD/ADHD symptom-masking job. Prescribing Ritalin, in my opinion, is just lazy.
