It could be. I am an ambitious person, but have trouble doing anything when not on a stim. I don't smoke pot. But I can tell you that people who see me when the stim wears off tell me I look like I've been overindulging in weed, when nothing could be further from the case. And then I start walking into stationary objects. I can't even blame stim withdrawal for this- it's the condition the stims treat. On the day of my college graduation I walked at high speed into a glass wall, and lay in a heap while people laughed at me. And I won't even go into the numerous household accidents, some of which have involved major destruction of property. Of course I seemed less than ambitious to my family, when I was trying to stay alert enough not to walk into a glass wall. They're everywhere, you know.
