My experience is the exact opposite:

1) I would not suggest that marijuana use correlates with any particular behavior very much.

2) The only thing I have noticed in common among some heavy users was stereotypical stoner behavior, primarily forgetfulness and absent-mindedness. They are usually aware of this, which means it does not present as anything remotely like arrogance.

My experience and opinion are similar to yours. A typical stoner isn’t really there, and when they are there, it’s more of a questioning or socializing activity. Alcoholic behaviors are what I would describe as arrogance and extreme impairment.

It's very possible that those are the stoners that stick out. There are a lot of stoners out there that are there and you don't realize are high.
