Sorry but it is not that simple, lol. It does give a hint to things, but it isn't the end-all be-all.
There add widely varying reasons that people have different [dose-response relationships.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dose%E2%80%93response_relationship

If your methodology worked, you'd have diagnosed me to have ADHD with 100% certainty. I always maintained I don't. Got tested by clinical psychologist and psychiatrist. No ADHD ADD or any other attention disorder.
The dose-response relationship, hermesis in action, is easiest to see with weed, probably. When you go to have a smoke at friend's house, you don't smoke often, they do. You smoke a little, you get tired, they start perking up. However if they also smoked a fuckton more, they'd also get tired. Low doses of THC stimulate high ones sedate. Similar with alcohol, which is why youre energetic early and then suddenly pass out. So because you've no tolerances like the weeder, the same amount smoked is a light dose for them and heavy for you, you get sedation, they stimulation.
This is essentially what is happening with you and your friends. You're taking same size lines and due to your personal differences, have different responses to the same dose.
It MAY be a sign yes, but not "easy diagnosis, ADHD 100%"
