Ever had a friend who has a personality trait that seems to overpower him/her every time s/he smokes up?

I have a friend who becomes an extremely awful person to be around when he's high. He gets paranoid, rude, and easily offended. Experiences with him include: him screaming at someone who was going to smoke us with HER OWN POT, and calling her a bitch; him screaming at me for saying, "what are you doing?!" when he snatched a chip out of a friend's hand (shouting, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! OMG! WE WENT THROUGH THIS GIANT ESCAPADE TO GET HIGH AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO EAT AND BRING YOU DOWN?!"); and countless random bouts of paranoia that ruin things for everyone else when he insists, "we can't go to the park! I just want to siiiiit here."

In short: he's a giant drama queen, and it pisses me and everyone else off.

Has anyone got any techniques for calming down a bitchy stoner, or is this just one of those "that's how it is" things?

Really, would it be worth the effort to calm him down, or should I just stop smoking with him altogether, because it really is annoying?
