Motivation

imo, weed neither helps nor hinders motivation. you may be more motivated to do different tasks compared to being sober..but my drive is usually the same regardless. My junior year of HS, i was high multiple times for Honors Calc, and received one of the highest grades out of my whole class. Definitely can help you in some subjects that require creativity or analytical thinking. And sports are really fun whilst high (i was on the baseball team)

 

I don't think it has anything to do with the drug itself, but when I'm burnt out and groggy I sure as shit don't feel like doing my homework either.

 

Use marijuana as your motivator. Don't smoke until all of your homework is done and once you finish you homework smoke a few bowls to reward yourself.

 

Like Malamala said, turn cannabis into your motivator. Don't touch a bowl unless your work is all done. No exceptions; you'll have to be disciplined for this to work.

A popular one I've seen in universities is straight A's or bust, meaning that if you can't maintain all A's, no cannabis at all until the grade is settled out.

This, along with the first idea, is the method I would recommend.

Remember, intelligence is not inert; it's not something you're born with. You can be naturally quick, but intelligence is something born of countless hours of work and dedication. You have to want it.

 

What happens when you vape or smoke is your brain releases dopamine, a feel good reward chemical. If you "reward" yourself before homework, you will have a harder time doing the work.

 

Use the sweet herb as the motivator.... How do you think i sat through all those stupid college lectures and actually did my homework.

Edit: if weed doesnt get your blood pumping. Then take away something that will. No tv, videogames, cellphone, ect till the homework gets done. Dont make me turn into my parents.

 

glad to see you took our advice

 

intelligence IS something your born with, education is what costs countless hours of work

someone can still be intelligent even if all they focus on is building legos

 

Tem4jafa, there is no set definition for intelligence; it's completely subjective.

I was merely sharing my own thoughts. I respectfully disagree with your idea of intelligence versus education. I would instead argue that one may be born with wit, but not intelligence.

Education is not synonymous with intelligence, there are people with PhD's who also believe that the Earth is 6000 years old and that the government is controlled by a race of lizard people.

 

My motivation is pain...like mistakes I have made in the past that fuel me each and every day to not make the same mistakes and to better myself to keep going. Point is weed is not the answer to your problem, the problem begins and ends with you.

 

What I've noticed is that in this kinda situation, you may have those inner voices telling you that you need to be responsible and do your homework and nagging you, in a way. Weed often can help you just sort of ignore those and be content in the moment, and not have to worry about it, whereas in reality you SHOULD be worrying about. It's all about finding a balance with weed. Unfortunately, I don't think weed will give you the inspiration you're looking for. You're better off limiting your smoking and just doing your homework...

 

i think we agree just not with the specific context of the words
i was trying to say that someone can be smart <or intelligent?> even if they aren't particularly well versed in the traditional information or education

FYI i believe in the flying spaghetti monster lol

in your context it sounded like that because you were saying it takes devotion and time to be intelligent while i subjectively view intelligence as someone's ability to grasp or learn something quickly

IE just because jill spends 40 hours memorizing translations of spanish doesn't mean she is more intelligent than the person with a natural ability to quickly pick up languages if they have only spent 30 minutes listening to it

 

OP, weed isn't a motivator. It has a specific effect on the brain, which varies from person to person. Motivation is self - driven.

Your homework is the first thing you think about? Do you frequently think of it while you're doing other things? If so, you're building it up in your mind, making it seem harder than it really is.

1) Leave it out of sight, and force your thoughts on whatever else you're doing. It's only for an hour or two (but set a specific amount of time). Then you'll get to your work.
2) Do it in increments. Don't feel you have to do a set amount, work on your own schedule, but set a final deadline.

If you're not frequently thinking about your work, then you'll have to just do it when you first think about it. Don't allow yourself to do anything you want until you do your hw.

When it's done, set it somewhere you'll see a lot. Allow yourself to feel proud that you're done, that you now don't have to worry about it. You're free to do and think about anything you want.

Just a suggestion, all opinionated

 

Weed doesn't help me with school. It would, if I could afford it. But I feel as if i don't enjoy my high i've wasted it. Believe me if I had unlimited weed, I would blaze before every single activity.

 

I've learned that to go through school you need to not be a total burn out. Save the weed for when you have nothing more to do, as for everything else I suggest some self help motivational book or a girlfriend..


Hey op, I appreciate you.

See, some little motivational words for ya

 

I do not have motivation I just have procrastination. Well I do have motivation it just takes agesss for it to finally reach a level where I act on it. This is the part of myself I am currently trying to change, but no weed will not help whatsoever at least in my experience if anything it's been a large protagonist.
