Do marijuana users lose their motivation?

Some frequent, long-term marijuana users show signs of a lack of motivation (amotivational syndrome). Their problems include not caring about what happens in their lives, no desire to work regularly, fatigue, and a lack of concern about how they look. As a result of these symptoms, some users tend to perform poorly in school or at work. Scientists are still studying these problems.

The fact that they're trying to scientifically prove a correlation between a chemical and a lifestyle is somewhat
  But to be honest, there are certain elements of truth, right?

Marijuana definitely lends to a very introverted lifestyle, and it tends to focus me very inward. I am more detached from most of my school work and very focused on music and thinking during times i smoke a lot of weed.

      But honestly, my weed-smoking patterns are a result of phases in my life. I definitely smoked more this past year than I ever have, and my peak consumption last fall was a very meditative, relaxed time period. I felt as though a goal or resolution had faded away and I was content with what I could maintain now.

But recent months have impacted my attitude toward marijuana. I still smoke, but much much less than previous. As I decided to act on all the philosophy I had manifested while stoned, I explored my boundaries a little. I hung out with some new friends, finally have a strong bond going with this girl I've been infatuated with for 3 years, and adopted a much more socially and spiritually independent attitude toward life. I've found other ways to escape, such as going for runs and enjoying mental clarity. Smoking pot has a much lesser significance in my life now as half-a-year ago.

What I'm getting at is that people have phases, and their lifestyle will evolve with it. Sometimes, people find escape through marijuana, but ultimately, the events in their lives will usually cause a change.

But I don't think I'll ever stop smoking marijuana all together

I think it's more of the chicken or the egg argument.

Are lazy people attracted to drugs because it's something to kill time without being bored?

Or do people become lazy from taking drugs?

Or is it both?
