Cannabis Users Stay Motivated: Lazy stoner myth debunked
Stoners are not as lazy and unmotivated as stereotypes suggest, according to new U of T Scarborough research
April 29, 2024 By Neuroscience News
The study, published by the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, surveyed chronic cannabis users to see what effect getting high has on their everyday lives.
“There is a stereotype that chronic cannabis users are somehow lazy or unproductive,” says Michael Inzlicht, a professor in the Department of Psychology at U of T Scarborough who led the study.
“We found that’s not the case — their behaviours might change a bit in the moment while they’re high, but our evidence shows they are not lazy or lacking motivation at all.”
