Winston Churchill was a perfect example of a high functioning alcoholic. There are many.
I don’t think you can find a single example of a “high functioning” pot head.
“I don’t think you can find a single example of a “high functioning” pot head.”
You are unaware of many things it seems. Sir Richard Branson comes to mind. He’s a pretty high functioning fellow. Seth Rogan also. He’s a highly successful screen writer & actor. Michael Phelps only won a few gold medals when he was using cannabis. Lady Gaga, the gal who performed at the last super bowl, writes her own songs that sell millions of copies over the years. Steve Jobs smoked cannabis & he did alright before cancer took him. Those British guys from Liverpool did alright & they smoked cannabis. Ol’ Willie Nelson is STILL smoking cannabis daily & selling out shows. Martha Stewart smokes cannabis & save for her brief stint in the clink she’s still doing quite well. James Garner smoked cannabis his whole life & he did pretty good as I recall.
This is just off the top of my head. If I wanted to take the time and throughly research the matter I bet that list would be at least 100 pages long & it still wouldn’t scratch the surface of how many “high functioning pot heads” there are.
I am assured all the time by Libertarians that such do indeed exist. They point to Silicon Valley and other High tech industries.
Maybe they know some people who get by, but all the pot heads I have known in my life were lazy and not "high functioning."
