This study examines the "amotivational syndrome," commonly cited as one of the deleterious effects of cannabis consumption, in cross-cultural perspectives. Using data-derived payroll tabulations and from observations of managerial relations on a Jamaican sugar estate, the influence of marihuana (ganja) smoking on the performance of work is systematically evaluated. A comparison of administrative strategies employed in three different farms of the estate demonstrates the degree to which management reinforces its own values with regard to ganja use and productivity
