Not in the least. Maybe if you are a lazy unmotivated person by default. But weed itself isn't going to make you lazy.
I smoke multiple times daily, before work, at lunch.. after work.. still manage to be a top performer at work and get all my tasks done in daily life and accomplish my goals.
It actually helps me in work, lessens stress and things that would normally get under my skin don't bother me as much when stoned, so I'm able to perform better. aka - things that don't fucking matter just roll off your back. For me anyway.

I earned a black belt in Aikido during probably the heaviest smoking period of my life. I've always kept jobs for a long time. I'm always there for people when they need me.
The motivation that it kills for me is the motivation for social acceptance. I think that's what bothers so many non smokers is that it puts peoples' minds outside of the normal society programming.
This right here. Couldn't agree more.
Weed doesn't kill motivation for me, especially good sativa strains, they actually make me want to do shit.
Heavy indicas on the other hand do usually knock me on my ass so i think this is where the whole argument stems from.
Don't smoke indicas if you're worried about motivation i guess.

No, it does not kill motivation. Only you can kill your motivation.

Yeah weed just makes me lazier than I already was to begin with. I try to limit my smoking to just nights so I can get my shit done during the day.

personally it depends in the kind/quality of weed and the mood I'm in. sometimes I get couch locked and sometimes I clean shit or build shit.
either way I don't let it get in the way of my responsibilities(often )

You know I was thinking about your question and something occurred to me- you know what probably kills my motivation more than anything- steady vagina. Seriously, I would say the laziest parts of my life have been times where I was in relationships getting all the nookie I want. I find having orgasms saps my energy and motivation more than anything.

fapping too much makes me lazy which is why I don't do it every day. Sex doesn't though

It depends really on the green and on how I feel at the time and it also depends on what it will or won't motivate me to do. For instance, it'll motivate me to do shit that I'm interested in but mundane things will be put off. Sometimes it also depends on what I'm doing, for instance if I'm smoking and doing something then I'm more motivated to do it. I smoke while I'm lounging around then I stay lounging and don't wanna get up.

I smoked everyday for 6-7 years and recently quit. While I managed to be very productive while stoned a lot of my waking day outside of work, I am far more productive now and tend to do jobs rather than let them stack up now I don't smoke (1-2 months since quitting).
Weed is great but when you have a very busy life it tends to start to get into the way of things, so I finally knocked it on the head and have no regrets. People remark that I look healthier and my mood is far more stable now.
I'm not slating weed cos its a great drug, just doesn't fit with my life any more.
