Alright I have been smoking everyday for the past 2 years. For the most part I just do it at night before I go to bed. I will smoke 2 or 3 bowl full's a night and usually that will be it. From what I can gather over this past year is that I do seem a little less motivated to do things and there are times when I will feel more tired then usual the next day. Now I have read numerous studies saying that weed doesn't really effect motivation that much but on the other hand I have heard first hand reports from kids simply saying how now that they don't smoke everyday anymore they have much more energy and a much clearer head. What I want to know is does smoking weed everyday really deplete that much of your energy? or is my problem more psychological? Like by me constantly thinking that weed is crushing my motivation in turn it simply does? So basically how much of my lack of motivation and energy can be blamed on weed compared to blaming it on my own thoughts and views. Any help would be very much appreciated.

You feel content (usually) when you smoke, and very relaxed, when you feel like this, other things can be deprioritised in your mind. It's when people feel this feeling of well-being is more important than a job to do or whatever, that it can affect your motivation.

So you should judge yourself on whether you think your smoking will make you "lazy", or if you can regulate your smoking to times when you have free time or can accept and deal with the consequences.

Hey Dethguise , I would say your lack of motivation stems from something other than weed .

Because of the fact that you stated you smoke at night , I would say , it stems from something else .

Smoking pot at night doesn't burn you out during the day , or make you less motivated with your daily activities.

Now , if you smoked a lot of weed throughout the day , well , then we would have a link . peace !

Are you confusing "lack of motivation" with "fatigue, tiredness, drowsiness"?

Pot is a soporific, a sleep aid, for many people and aids in falling a sleep. Too much sleep aid, and you'll still be sleepy in the morning.

For some folks it also effects dreams (REM sleep) either making dreams more lucid or for some keeping dreams from being too overwhelming. Lack of dreams affects restful sleep, too active dreaming can be exhausting during sleep.

I'd suggest cutting back to half what you are taking now and see what effect you feel.

Weed does affect everyone differently. When I smoke close to bedtime I wake up with the hangover effect and no energy the next day. To stop this, I never smoke past 7 p.m. Even smoking as late as 7 p.m. keeps me up well until midnight. Marijuana gives me energy if not overdone.

I personally think that you are not feeling lazy because of MJ. When I smoke I feel more motivated to do the things that I usually don't want to do, like homework for example.
