you, without drugs > you, with drugs
each person discovers this in their own time & experience, and each current user justifies his choice vehemently until after they decide to quit.

This includes people who have to get hold of them illegally.
You end up in BS anecdote land where people with issues self diagnose themselves, take uncontrolled drugs with dubious quality, and self report effects. It's all in all unreliable when not monitored by a neutral medical professional.
Shouldn't be like that, but it is.
At least sanity is starting to return to the world: MDMA for PTSD and ketamine for depression are starting to become valid treatments, to the great benefit of those fortunate enough to be able to find and afford to take them inside the system.
But it's the same ketamine. A clinic gives you an IV infusion in a dark room with some nice music; the difference between that and taking a line on your own, in a dark room with some nice music, is less decisive than people who haven't tried it seem to think.
