would probably find it very difficult to do any task requiring a reasonable reaction time and muscle coordination.

Once you know what it's going to do to you and you have to take it all the time, you simply compensate for the effects.

That's why drugs are such a nonissue when it comes to driving or operating any dangerous machinery. Behavior has to be observed and people can be incompetent for a variety of reasons, being overtired is one of them and doesn't require any substances but can render a driver more dangerous than any stoner.
