Despite popular stereotypes, cannabis users are just as motivated as non-cannabis users.
The stereotype of the lazy stoner is a common one. It brings up images of The Dude in The Big Lebowski or a teenager next to a bong covered in snacks.
All participants completed questionnaires that assessed anhedonia, or the inability to feel pleasure, and their apathy, which is a lack of interest or motivation. According to Walsh, the origins of the lazy cannabis user are relatively new given the prevalence of cannabis in western and other cultures.
“It went from madness and sort of switched from that to laziness and, you know, ineptitude, stupidity and those often accompanied racial stereotypes as well,” he said.
