amotivational syndrome

[Hyeresy]

Does amotivational syndrome truly exist? Because I believe that it depends on the person more than anything. It's easy to say a person is lazy because they smoke pot, it's easy to use is as an excuse for your own lazyness. Does anyone else have anything to say about this?

I smoke pot infrequently, but the time in which I did smoke more frequently, I was at an epiphany of apathy. I am more inclined to believe that marijuana use is an indication, not a cause of apathy.

Of course, it was in this same time period I started smoking cigarettes too... Maybe if weed was legal, I wouldn't have fallen for an ADDICTIVE drug.

I thought about replying to this earlier...but I didn't.

From about about 1981 to 1990, My friends and I were a very frequent pot users.

• I built my career as a computer programmer (without a college degree).
• One got their PhD and started a private practice as a therapist.
• Another got his PhD and is working in a hospital.
• Another was a very sucessful electrical engineer.
• Another built his own business and is now a senior marketing manager.
• Another is a movie director in NYC.

Not everyone in my group were very sucessful. But that's true in almost any group.

The data suggests that amotivational syndrome may exist for some teens who smoke a lot of pot. Adult users are unlikely to suffer from it.

A teenager needs to smoke pot to be amotivational?
