But remember that it isn't the 'drugs' that are late (if anyone still thinks of marijuana as a real proper 'drug'), it's the person. Even junkies and cokeheads can get there on time, no problem. It's just that some of them can't be bothered.
There are people - I know two, one of them my daughter - who get away with being chronically late although they are dependable in other ways. On the whole though it really does boil down to a matter of common courtesy, with a bit of commonsense thrown in.
Only the Sheikh knows whether his ill-mannered friend is worth maintaining. Perhaps it would have been better to meet him in Blackpool. I wouldn't hesitate to hang about there for a few hours myself, trying to fathom the local psychology and gawping at the ancient ruins.
