used to smoke pot for years (since I was 12 to 25), so I know all about it. I also know that it wasn't until I quit 5 years ago that I SLOWLY, progressively started to really see what it had been doing to me all those years. While I puffed weed chronically, I never made more than $20,000 per year, and I was content making that. Keyword: CONTENT. When I quit puffing the magic cloud, from that point on in my life, I slowly started becoming more bored of just fooling around and wasting time, and started becoming less and less 'content' with my annual income. Since that time, I've used that pissoff time and figured out how to make more and more money every year, and now I make more money than I've ever made in my whole life!



So you were a slacker from the age of 12 to 25. Virtually everyone is. While it could be attributed somewhat to pot, I doubt that was the majority of the reason you were unmotivated. Being a slacker is just part of being a teen; and most grow out of it -- right around the age of 25.

If Pot somehow makes people less motivated then explain how countries where it is more tolerated (ie Most of Europe) or even where it is legal/semi-legal are some of the most successful economies in the world?

It's simply a different mindset between them and us. Our culture is far more to blame for the "side-effects" of Pot than the pot itself.
