Laut einer Studie sind Kiffer nicht so faul, wie Stereotypen behaupten | Die Studie liefert Belege dafür, dass regelmäßige Cannabiskonsumenten in ihrem täglichen Leben eine erhebliche Motivation an den Tag legen, obwohl bestimmte Aspekte der Gewissenhaftigkeit im Rausch etwas nachlassen.

From the article: A recent study challenges the stereotype that chronic cannabis users are lazy and unmotivated. Published in the journal [Social Psychological and Personality Science](https://doi.org/10.1177/19485506241245744), the study provides evidence that regular cannabis users exhibit significant motivation in their daily lives, despite experiencing some reductions in certain aspects of conscientiousness when high.

Cannabis — colloquially known as marijuana, weed, or pot — is used in various forms, such as smoking dried leaves, consuming edibles, and using oils. Cannabis contains compounds called cannabinoids, with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) being the primary psychoactive ingredient. This compound is responsible for the “high” that users experience, which can include alterations in perception, mood, and consciousness. Other effects can range from relaxation and euphoria to anxiety and paranoia, depending on the individual and the context of use.

Globally, cannabis stands as the fourth most used recreational drug after caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco. Its increasing legalization and decriminalization in many regions have shifted public and scientific interest towards understanding its broader impacts on health, lifestyle, and behavior. This shifting landscape has sparked debates about the potential benefits and risks of habitual cannabis use, moving the conversation beyond its historical stigma as merely a substance of abuse.

It can happen but it’s not like 70% are starting businesses when getting high all the time. It’s okay if you have things going and need to settle down sometimes.
