Anyone else ever get motivated by pot?

I don't know, the typical stereotype is of a very lazy high, but I love working while high as well as socializing. Not to say that I don't love just sitting down and listening to some music, but I'm also completely happy cleaning while listening to music while I toke up.

It makes me functional.

I think it all depends on your mindset and the type of weed you're smoking (indica vs sativa)

Really depends on who I'm smoking for that. Sometimes I'll have a couple bong hits before bed to help knock me out. Sometimes I'll roll a joint at 1am and stay up for hours more. Like space ghost mentioned it does have a lot to do with the type of weed you're smoking.

I find weed to be very motivational though. It's one of the main reasons I smoke. Though I have some friends that are complete zombies no matter what when they toke. Guess it matters if you're an easily motivated person too.

Smoking on the job

Smoking on the job

Hey now, Well, just look around at some of the buds on this site, and you can get a buzz. It sure depends on what kind, and what the daily task is. To be even more honest, I'm sometimes climbing ladders or doing something I don't want to screw up, so smoking does'nt make it go any easier. Also, if I got to supervise other, I really don't need a stoned crew. Mistakes cost money. If I've learned anything as a smoker of 37 years, keeping your tolerance level low makes smoking much more enjoyable.
Back in those good old days of 4 finger bags of redbud I smoked alot.
Today is very different. There is some really strong buds out there, with all types of effects. I love that two hit wonder herb, but you can get stupid, or when you wake up and your still high types. Sativa's can certainly be motivational. I get motivated to work in the garden, for sure.
Not to preach, but herb can be abused. Being stoned all the time is not that much fun. I'm sure the med-users would back me up on that. I once spent a few days cutting sugar cane down in Jamaica. A good smoke before and after work was nice. But after the first day of those cutlasses swinging around, I waited till the after the work was done. A good spliff after a good days work is the way Jah planned it. :rasta:

I work in heights, I am high enough. I would never smoke while I am at work. But that is the first damned thing I do when I get home, it is a great way to wind down, while a nice cup of coffee and a few bong hits. The one great feature of that, is it gets me ready for bed by like 10, which is when I "should" be going to bed



As for the OP. It all depends, If I had anything to do. I just completed doing some renos on my house, I got up every morning drank a pot of coffee and had a few bong hits, then ran power tools the rest of the day, I had something to do, so I did it

But Ricky is right, it does make boring shit exciting

I'm writing a screenplay that I thought of and brainstormed on while high on some decent sativa...

If anyone considers themselves to be a good writer or has experience with screenwriting, I wouldn't mind sending it to you over AIM or via PM (if its able to fit in a PM) so I could recieve some input on it..

I'd also like to know what I'm doing wrong as far as typical screenwriting formats, I don't know if I'm using all the terms correctly.

But anyways yeah, weed motivates me a lot, if you consider getting creative ideas or thought flows from pot.

When I have writer's block I smoke a little, not enough to get totally stoned and worthless but high enough to get thoughts flowing a bit easier... write em down or type them separately and then review them sober to add a little more to it or revise it with a clearer mind...

I take a toke and wont stop smoking the rest of the day. It isnt that weed makes me unmotivated i would just rather smoke weed all day then do anything else.
 
If God told me I could never smoke pot again... I would snort a bunch of coke and trip for a few days before I ran out of cash. Nah.... probably not.... but God would never say something like that.... or would he? Or.... would she?

Flo, Hawaiian Sativa, Apollo 11, C99, Satori and most Thai strains are like caffeine to me. Some strains get you motivated but impede your ability to actually get anything done (thai), and some give you the focus and clarity to get things done(satori, A11). My quest is for good functional strains to complement the couchlocks.

Take one toke too many though and motivation gets overtaken by the desire to just get higher. It's a fine line. And one that's all too frequently crossed.

AMEN! I've found that smoking usually motivates me to get up and do something. If I break out the bong, I'll write for days. Just took a blunt to my face? I want deep blower and my Gots, or some nice flowy DH or DJ park. If I visit my brother and his Volcano, some how, some way, I'll end up cleaning something. But just one too many puffs, and I'm not going anywhere, and everything constructive is put on hold until further notice.

like others have said, really depends on the bud i have atm. there is a lot out there that will keep me from moving no matter how motivated i may be. others get my mind racing with ideas and creativity. love those strains but not before bed. starin at the ceiling with 100 thoughts going through my head is not fun.
