About
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of Cannabigerol (CBG) on symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in a sample of participants with ADHD. The main question it aims to answer is: Does CBG reduce ADHD symptoms relative to placebo? Participants will complete two weeks of product administration for each condition (placebo or 80mg CBG daily), separated by a one-week washout period. Daily and weekly surveys will be administered to monitor effects.
