Good point, I had in mind friends / acquaintances from 20s to 50s however.

  yah I think there's something to this in an opportunity cost motivational angle. Basically there's a cost that comes to being in a high state which lowers your thresholds for profundity, satisfaction, deliciousness/appetite/taste. Basically with the thresholds all lowered one becomes satisfied with things that are objectively lesser quality, less demanding of effort and work. One would be equally satisfied eating junk food as they normally would having eaten some gourmet meal. There's no fire under your feet to hustle or put in the time to need to learn how to cook some truly delicious meal let's say or develop skills that bring longer term satisfaction that takes a while before payoff. Motivation never needs to take off because the cheapest junk already meets ones pleasure and satisfaction needs so why bother.

    Weed doesn't affect everybody the same. Not everyone is a stoner that gets high and says whoa dude on the couch. I didn't perceive things as more profound rather the little voice of anxiety inside by head went away and for the first time in my life I was free to figure out who I was.

      Hey this little Voice of anxiety I get it to and weed alleviated this.. or so I think. In return it makes me lazy and if I smoke too much it makes it louder and it wants me to stop smoking weed Soo much. But on other hand if I have a steady supply I cannot quit it. So fucked up
