Weed= Lack of motivation?

So i have been smoking a lot latley like daily and my grades are getting worse cause i find myself saying *fuck it* when it comes time to do work and stuff like that. Like normal situations where i'd push myself i dont even want to push myself anymore
If you do, how do you balance weed with success and maintaing goals and focus

Take it easy - self control, man. I feel for you - I went the same way in college. Just keep yourself busy - move yourself to the library or campus coffee shop to do homework, or study with friends who don't smoke. My best friend for a bit was my ultra-conservative and really nice roommate who had no idea I smoked. I studied with him like crazy, and it worked!

Just keep at it - put yourself in situations where you A) won't have access to weed, or 2) are too busy to smoke it.

To be honest you're being a fucking douche for coming here and making this thread, obviously your not a seasoned toker being you haven't even learned the basic rule, I smoke all day (2 grams is what I set out in allowance and I usually smoke probably an 1/8th a day on busy day, so busy I only have time to smoke a 1/8th a day) and I'm in college doing fine, stop being a fag. If I can do it anyone else can.

Behavior like this is absolutely not welcome here. -JD

Wow seriously dude, did the poster offend you some how? weed does affect some people negatively sometimes, even if you are a "seasoned smoker". Just because you can do fine in school while smoking every day doesn't mean everyone else can.

I would think that some simple level of respect for one another would be a basic rule, but what do I know.

Anyway, to the original poster. Yeah sometimes I feel this way too. But then again, you just have to realize that motivation is based on your state of mind. Perhaps you're letting the idea that weed makes you less motivated become an excuse for you just simply being lazy?

I know I thought weed was getting to my motivation until I stopped for a good while, and found that I STILL had no motivation. So the problem was (is) with me, not the bud.

If you do find that it really is the weed, then maybe lay off it while you have important things to do.

Its not a bad post, i even have a similar problem sometimes. But nice advice skygreenleoepard, getting away from places where weed is easily accesible sounds good, ill give it a try

Never get high when you have to hide the fact that you are high...

If you keep this simple rule... you will succeed.

Don't be high all the time and your won't be unmotivated all the time. I am unmotivated as shit when I am high, as soon as I am not however I am sober and back to normal.

I've been a daily toker for quite some time now, and after a while you will have those moods where you just want to work on whatever you are doing, for me it's great because I am learning to be a special effects designer, which I need a lot of inspiration for.
With inspiration comes motivation.
And the inspiration comes from the herb.

I've also had those days where I was high and just said fuck it I'm not doing shit today... but those are less often lately.

Been there before. Try using weed to reward yourself. After all your hard work, pay yourself off with a big fatty J. Sounds juvenile. But it works!

Personally, I enjoy smoking and running errands or doing yard work (or whatever else). Keeps me focused!

Remember:

"If I can do it anyone can." really means "Find something that works for you because if you do not believe that something will work, it might be moot to encourage you.":D

If you become Lazy you are smoking TOO MUCH. You need to slow down and lower your Tolerance.

i smoke every day and if i don't smoke i get lazy but when i smoke i get motivated to do school work.

That is the golden rule my friend!

Always in moderation. This is grade school stuff, do your homework fist and have fun after.

the lack of motivation is actualy the weed showing you what you should and shouldnt actualy care about. humans werent made to go to school and be crafted into working pawn of their governments.

yea i mean you cant get around it now-a-days. evolutions has changed from survival of the fittest ( be it strength, intillgence, and so on) to money jobs and things that really dont matter. people deserve more to their life then serving other who think their better then us somehow and being trapped jobs
