Maybe if he was smoking weed too
I've done extensive bro science research on this.
Strains heavy in these cannabinoids help me manage ADHD: THCv, CBG, CBDv. They have stimulant-like effects, for ADHD and for me, this translates to clarity and focus.
Too much THC without any CBD or other C noid and you will probably be too high/anxious/paranoid to function properly.
THC dominate strains that stand out to me, Durban Poison, Girl Scout Cookies, Skunk #1, White Widow
If the lineage is Diesel or Haze related, there is a good chance it will help me medicate for ADHD symptoms. Sour Diesel, Blue Dream, Trainwreck, Pineapple Express.
Super boof is great too. Not all of these are necessarily high in THCv, terpenes also influence the direction of the high.
Many popular strains have been cross bred so much they are all hybrids which lean one direction or another. Most strains I medicate with are leaning sativa effects. 100% land-race sativas are also great. However, do not ignore indica-dominate strains based on "in-da-couch" rhetoric. Cali Raisin is an example of an Indica with Sativa effects that I adore.
Terpenes I found helpful for ADHD: Limonene, Terpinoline, Caryophyellene, Pinene, Linalool. Which loosely translates into citrus, spice and flowers, clove and spice, pine and earth, lavender.
There are THCv and CBDv dominant strains to look out for. You do lack the entourage effect with these, but they can be great mixers.
Bro I came back to this thread and I'm glad I did. This is pretty valuable if not anecdotal information thanks.
Edit: This also explains why sour diesel is my favorite strain.
Yes, Sour Diesel is a great strain. My only complaint is I get dry eyes and mouth from it (and many diesels).
This is a little more than bro science, which is what led me to these specific cannabinoids in the first place when comparing to my personal experiences.

https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05219370 (though canceled, shows interest in the cannabinoids for potential treatment).
Thanks homie that second link is on point.
Glad you found it helpful. It has been life changing for me, coming from street weed where getting desired effects was a roll of the dice.
Keywords dispensaries might use to market strains that might help you narrow your search: Energetic, Focus, Creative, Uplifting.
Depending on your location, availability and staff capabilities to assist you may be limited. CBG products are gaining popularity, and flower containing CBDv or THCv may be available but THCv dominate products will probably be less available.
You might have better luck trying CBD vendors. If you are capable and interested, homegrowing is an option. THCv dominate seeds are readily available online (take local laws into consideration).
CBDv when heated becomes THCv.
Another fun fact is CBG is known the "mother of all cannabinoids". It breaks down into all other cannabinoids.
