I personally never met a regular pot smoker who could handle their ****, but then again, I've never met a middle-class regular user. Lot's of rich users, but they don't count since mommy and $10k is only a phone call away.
I once read that regular pot-smokers just don't like stress, so pot is a way to take the edge off everything. This probably makes some sense, since it seems that the breaking point of every one I've interacted with was some stressful situation. They simply didn't train themselves to handle the small things, so when a semi-major, non-life-altering experience happens, their whole life tumbles to bits.
That's completely unfounded pop-psych of course. I've known a lot of daily alcohol drinkers who can handle life just fine, but can't say the same for pot smokers for whatever reason.
