Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

That's unfortunate. The effects of many drugs can be entirely mental rather than visual, leaving the person looking like they're just laying down with their eyes closed, or staring into space.

Particularly, ketamine, as a dissociative, at higher doses, is entirely in your mind. What a person in that state looks like from the outside is zero indication of what they are experiencing.

It’s not unfortunate. To me drugs are entirely unnecessary to begin with. And if I choose to use them it’s to enhance an activity, not to replace an activity or be an activity on its own. I’ll be fine.

Well that's not what we were talking about though, was it? We were talking about you judging people based on how they may look while under the influence. That's ignorant.

Also, I find this to be amusing:

To me drugs are entirely unnecessary

Uh huh, so I guess antibiotics are off the table? I sure hope you don't die from a minor infection. Hope you never get diabetes or high blood pressure. No cough medicine or allergy medicine either, that's annoying. I hope you don't have any serious allergies, because EpiPens sure as shit count as "drugs".
