I think much of it has to do with depression, which coincides with holding fears to heart.

I smoke a copious amount, and as long as I have my life organized in a routine, I can be the most adamant, motivated son of a bitch. I have ADD, without routines, my life would become a clusterfuck.

I look at other people in life who I would consider depressed, and they have a hard time getting up in the morning, let alone to be motivated to engage. Partly, I think they are afraid to change, that doing so would change them as a person in a way they deem as "selling out." I think if one looks into themselves clearly, they can find the motivation to do anything. But doing so requires clarity and facing discomfort and fears.

Amotivational Syndrome Hi guys, There is something we have all heard of, and that is the famed "amotivational syndrome" (burnout, dropout, etc) associated with cannabis. I recently read an article that suggested this phenomenon was actually due to users being depressed, rather than to the actual use of cannabis. So like, you are depressed, therefore you use cannabis to feel better, but whether you used weed or not, you still would have not felt like doing anything because you were depressed in the first place.
