Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by a lack of concentration and/or an altered activation level. People with ADHD are found to violate traffic regulations, to commit criminal offences and to be involved in traffic accidents more often than the statistical norm. Furthermore, they show more deviant behaviour and have an increased co-morbidity regarding substance abuse and dependence. Hence, this disorder is of some forensic importance. The purpose of this case study is to demonstrate that in some cases people with ADHD may show unusual effects after the consumption of THC. A 28-year-old male, who showed abnormal behaviour and seemed to be significantly maladjusted and inattentive while sober, appeared to be completely normal with a very high plasma level of THC. Performance tests conducted with the test batteries ART2020 and TAP provided average and partly above-average results in functions related to driving. Thus, it has to be taken into account that in persons with ADHD THC may have atypical and even performance-enhancing effects.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的特征是注意力不集中和/或激活水平改变。研究发现，患有ADHD的人比统计标准更频繁地违反交通规则、实施犯罪行为并卷入交通事故。此外，他们表现出更多的越轨行为，并且在药物滥用和依赖方面的共病率增加。因此，这种疾病具有一定的法医学重要性。本案例研究的目的是证明在某些情况下，患有ADHD的人在摄入四氢大麻酚（THC）后可能会表现出异常效果。一名28岁男性，清醒时表现出异常行为，似乎严重适应不良且注意力不集中，但在血浆THC水平非常高时却显得完全正常。使用ART2020和TAP测试组合进行的性能测试在与驾驶相关的功能方面提供了平均水平且部分高于平均水平的结果。因此，必须考虑到在患有ADHD的人中，THC可能具有非典型甚至增强性能的效果。
