Potheads! Does weed make you motivated or cause you to procrastinate?
I am a procrastinator, and probably have ADD. If I do have ADD, I'll never take pharm meds for it.

However, I am wondering if weed enables a person to get things done, or is the stereotype true, and you lay on the couch all day??

I'm in a legal state now, so considering my options. I've not smoked weed since my first and second years of college.

thanks

Re: Potheads! Does weed make you motivated or cause you to procrastinate?
I think it has a tendency to make people procrastinate if they overdo it, and if they get sort of "hooked." (Even if it's mostly psychological addiction not physical) That's certainly my experience as well.

IMO it's not meant to be used/smoked more often than once or twice per month, optimally. If one is afraid of one's health and state of mind and so on. People are different though and there are those who can smoke a lot and not get too much affected by it.

hmm well a few times a month would be easier on the lungs, too. So it has a continual effect, even when smoked a few times a month?

Re: Potheads! Does weed make you motivated or cause you to procrastinate?
When I am doing schoolwork I can only keep focus for however long the high lasts (1-2 Hours depending on how high)

Once my high begins to fade I begin to lose my work ethics and focus. Eventually I feel like my brain is exhausted and stop doing work.

The best way to consume maryjane is just that, eat weed treats. The carbon in smoking is damaging, weed however has no harmful effects.

What are you trying to motivate yourself for?

It did both for me when I used to smoke, I'd get real motivated and creative, but procrastinate the things I needed to do!

 Quoting: xChris12


Interesting!
When high, do you work faster or more productively?
Can you smoke more when beginning to fade, and get another few hours of focus?

Does smoking weed mean you are limited to a few hours of work?
Also, if you feel like fucking off, does weed motivate you to get started?
thanks

Re: Potheads! Does weed make you motivated or cause you to procrastinate?
depends on what you are already doing... it just enhances either.

if im busy doing something and have a goal then it becomes a stimulant.

if I want to relax and rest then it becomes a depressant.

I've got a lifelong deal with ADD, probably. I'm wired to procrastinate with most things. Work, organizing house, etc.
Everything that procrastinators procrastinate with.

Eating weed is the better way, eh?

What is weird to me, is it seems that cigarette smokers get things done and stick to their list. Guess not so weird - nicotine a type of stimulant to a degree.

its not that simple either indica or sativa can have similar thc/cbd ratios neither have a specific job.

anyway what about ruderalis? people often forget about that one.

well it's got much less THC content. maybe that's why.
i've found the the sativa gives a more energetic high than indica which is more of a chillax high

Anyone here giving an absolute answer knows nothing about Cannabis. Cannabis comes in so many different strains now that these conversations only serve to push misinformation.

In my case however, it caused me to calm down, focus, and hunker down on my work. I typically used sativa dominant strains.

BUT THAT IS JUST ME. THIS IS BY NO MEANS THE LAW. THIS IS JUST A PERSONAL ANECDOTE. CANNABIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

Re: Potheads! Does weed make you motivated or cause you to procrastinate?
I wish people wouldn't talk nonsense like there is a specific high to all sativa' and one for all indica.

these are nothing to do with the cannabinoid ratios or potencies.

its well past that now.

Re: Potheads! Does weed make you motivated or cause you to procrastinate?
Well depends cannabis indica has more cannabinoids so it will give more of a couch lock more ment for sleeping or just wanting to chill.. now cannabis sativa has more THC so it gives a more head upper high and yeah it sometimes makes you just wanna do stuff, but at same time it depends on you lol, when i smoke i could do home work in my own area and at my own pace. now would i do actual work high? nah because it gets me too high now especially indicas lol but i do know some people that can work hard and good after smoking a little joint

Re: Potheads! Does weed make you motivated or cause you to procrastinate?
If you are a lazy bum, weed will make it worse. If you are a hustler like me, weed enhances your life. Its not the plant, its the person. Just like closet angry people shouldn't drink.

I wake up, smoke five bongs, then run 5 to 8 miles almost every morning. Then I smoke more weed and lift weights. Then I go to work and after work I party with friends or do an adventure. I'm 40 years old. Weed is great for me.

But it may not be good for you.

Someone's a little paranoid lol

You are right though. Some makes you feel like a nap is totally necessary right now. Some makes you feel happy and want to enjoy the world.

Generally, though, smoke too much, and you will be too stupid to do anything, even if you are smoking the perfect strain. The whole short term memory loss is REAL lol, so being totally stoned does not make for a productive person.
