False equivalency, all chemically altered states are the same? If someone used alcohol (another of your examples) at work, during the work day you'd consider an intervention; you wouldn't shrug and say "eh, bags of chemicals".

Let my biography serve as a cautionary tale

I've experienced work lunches with alcohol a lot and it can help in team bonding. I've also been involved in deal making where if you didn't drink alcohol with the prospect (China), you were not going to get the deal.

I'd say the false equivalency is thinking substance use always = substance abuse.
