Well my very amatuer answer would be something like this:

Since smoking usually leads to laziness and sleeping, people just assume that those "burnouts" are going to be lazy and sleepy forever. People fear what they do not know, so even though most have no understanding of what shit spews out their mouths, they still say it. It's just a repetition of myths passed down. Whether than trying to find out something for themselves then making a judgement, it's easier to just follow the crowd.

Now who's the lazy one?

my :twocents:
Its a Plant Reviewed by Its a Plant on . Burnt out? I am trying to convince 2 friends of mine that cannabis doenst kill brain cells. they're only argument is "so why do people who smoke alot get all burnt out?" this is something i couldnt answer, i really dont know. so could anyone tell me what it is that makes people get that way? and could anyone show me a very credible source that says so as well? i have tried googling but i cant really find what im looking for because my search is too specific.
