Study: Marijuana Use Not Linked With Reduced Motivation
Originally published at blog.NORML.org
Neither the occasional nor the heavy use of marijuana by adolescents is associated with decreased motivation, according to clinical data published online ahead of print in the journal Substance Use & Misuse.
A team of Florida International University researchers assessed the relationship between cannabis use and motivation in 79 adolescent subjects. Participants consisted of both long-term regular consumers and occasional users. Investigators assessed subjects’ motivational tendencies through the use of two validated tools, the Apathy Evaluation Scale and the Motivation and Engagement Scale.
Authors reported: “After controlling for confounds, no significant differences were observed between regular and light users on any motivation index. Similarly, no associations between motivation and lifetime or past 30-day cannabis use amount were observed.”
They concluded, “Our findings do not support a link between reduced motivation and CU among adolescents after controlling for relevant confounds.”
An abstract of the study, “Is cannabis use associated with various indices of motivation among adolescents?”, appears here.

For most people there is an increase of attention span, the crooks don’t want that. There is a calming affect that helps people pay attention to humdrum crap for hours.
