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.

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?
