pot hasn't made me lazier, I've always been lazy

if anything pot has made me realize I need to get off my lazy ass

Math is just fucking hard anyway, I wouldn't know if it was any harder if I didn't smoke weed because the subjects in maths I've never had before.

Anyway, I'm convinced there's a stoner X factor, but its not ignorant lazyness. Dumb and lazy is how I wanna be when I'm stoned though, they say "ignorance is bliss" and it's fucking true. Same goes for lazyness, I love sitting on my ass.

My attitude towards life and shit has changed though since I've become a "pothead". I'm actually able to just sit somewhere and do absolutely nothing (stare at something) for quite some time. Not that I ever measured how long though. I guess an hour or two, like, I'm in stand-by mode lol.

Stoner stereotype is most likely influenced/created by anti-stoner campaigns and Enemies of the Green Goal

I think it just the type of person..and weed are attracted to each other..like normally lazy people just like to get lazier and they smoke pot. So it just makes a lazy person like 2x the time lazy...did that make any sense at all?

[enthused]

Eh who cares? If someone wants to be dumb and lazy, let them. I'm incredibly lazy, intelligent..but lazy. I think lazy is the way to go...everyone else is just rushing for death all their life. Us lazy folks sit back, chill, smoke a blunt, and watch the sun rise.

with i smoked pot for 2 years now and i'm not lazy i think it all depends on your personality or whatever

I've smoked pot everyday for 14 years and I'm not la......

I used to smoke every morning before work and went from shopfloor to research and development in 5 years. That doesn't happen if your lazy.

hmm. this is a toughie because as much as i like to think i'm not lazy, since ive been smoking daily for the past few years my whole lifestyle has completely changed. i think that bill hicks quote applies here, "marijuana doesnt make you unmotivated. when you're high you can do everything you normally can, just as well. you just realize it's not worth the fucking effort". i mean, i wouldn't call myself lazy or anything (near-daily treks into the woods would prevent that), but i definitley reorganize my priorities a bit more. why the fuck should i do math homework if i can go blaze with my friends? i can still be an intelligent and productive person, i just like to get high. overall though i think the stereotypes are pretty true, mostly because stoners are laid-back in general. the laziness and apathy arguments are negligible, but being carefree and taking things as hey come aren't bad categories to be pigeonholed into.

Do you think that if you smoke too much pot for too long you actually become a stereotypical lazy dumb stoner? Where does that stereotype come from? I think it's just that people who are lazy and dumb are the ones who smoke way too much weed to begin with and people blame the weed. If they quit they'll still be lazy and dumb. But do any of you actually feel that it's the other way around and that the weed is to blame.

Weed doesnâ??t directly cause you to be lazy for periods when you are not high, so for example you could smoke a massive amount of weed everyday for a year, and you wouldn't be lazy after quitting. However, Smoking weed will make you lazy while your high, especially when you're burning out. Smoking weed and going to bed while your high or burning out can also make you feel lethargic the next day. Given all of this it's easy to see why people who smoke weed often, are stereotyped as being lazy and dumb. Now this may be true because they are ether high or burnt out a lot of the time. However, if they stopped smoking (completely or as often) they would no longer be lazy or stupid for a large percentage of the time (unless they were like that to begin with, and many ppl are).
