Medical marijuana for anxiety and/or ADHD

I have never considered medical marijuana as an option for me until several podcasts I listen to mentioned use of marijuana oil. I don't know where to start researching this.

I have had anxiety and ADHD for a long long time. I don't know if it's relevant but I am also diagnosed with BPD and I have been on lamotrigine for around 4 years.
I have been on adderall before and had real issues with it. It didn't do anything to ease my symptoms and if anything made me feel way worse. I also started to abuse it and ended up completely cutting it out. I have impulse control issues so it's a big no-no for me.
I really struggle with my anxiety and ADHD but after the adderall situation I've just kind of ignored it for a few years now. A guest on a podcast I listen to mentioned her use of marijuana oil for anxiety/ADHD. I do not smoke weed, I have no interest in smoking it. I didn't really know there was a way for me to consume it without smoking/eating it and I didn't really consider it as a treatment for my particular issues.
Does anyone have experience with using oil specifically? And for anxiety/ADHD? Any particular strains I should know about or is that something I ask at a dispensary? I don't really know where to start in researching. I've tried looking online but I don't really know what sources are reliable and what aren't.
I would be talking to my doctor about it but I want to have an idea what I'm talking about before I do. I live in a rural area and I want to be prepared for a conversation that is potentially judgmental. Not that it necessarily will be. I'm just a little concerned I will receive push back. I may just be being paranoid.

FWIW Medical marijuana is legal in my state and recreational use will be legal July 1st. I also work in HR and know my employer would be ok with it so no issues there.

I'm basically a total marijuana noob, please help me.
