I'm finding (because I'm taking a break from weed for about a month for college) that it did help cheer me up, but also helped hold me back if that makes sense.

I know this isn't / won't be the case for everyone, but I've noticed that while smoking everyday (at least once, but sometimes up to four or five times) has somewhat dimmed my emotions, both good and bad. I will definitely agree that it helped me battle my depression, and it did a damned good job at it, but it also dimmed my other emotions. I'd get stoned and not care about much, my drive faded and I didn't do anything substantial with my life (note: I'd get stoned and be VERY active, just not with anything that would deal with actually improving my life. No loafing around while high, but nothing productive either).

Now that I'm well into my break, I've noticed my drive and energy has returned, but I'm no longer depressed what so ever, I'm very happy go lucky again =P So for me, I guess weed makes me unmotivated. I've come to the conclusion that when I do start smoking again, I'll likely only do it on the weekend, or at special events. I love going through life with green tinted glasses but I've also realized there's a time and a place...but that's just me. Granny certianly seems to be a lifetime smoker and she seems happy as can be, I guess it's different for everyone.

(Hopefully I will not have everyone saying that it's "my fault" for not being motivated while being stoned all the time, nothing against weed...it's great, just makes me unmotivated to do worthwhile things )
