I think it ridiculous to conflate the two. Just more anti-drug nonsense from someone who has never taken any of these drugs themselves. I hear this kind of stuff all the time from the anti-drug crowd, they attribute all the evil actions of serial killers and the like to drug use, when in actuality the vast majority of those committing deviant actions had nothing to do with drugs.

And there’s a vast difference between a drug like methamphetamine which can lead to psychosis and perhaps violent behavior, verses the so-called psychedelic drugs like LSD or mushrooms. The latter tend to make people more docile and adverse to any violent behavior. At most they just open up people’s minds to different perspectives of reality. You can’t just put all drugs into the same basket and then hold them responsible for all the evil and sick behavior in the world.

And to think, this isn’t really about drugs per se. Not conflation, but what is common: “both take rationality and physical fact as limitations to freedom”
