>That kind of drug usage is a manifestation of degeneracy...

Please define "degenerate". Would you consider individuals who hold successful, stable careers (they may even hold down a high-level role), have a family, no criminal records, for all intents and purposes are 'normal' people, but maybe once every few years they go camping with friends and consume psychedelics, to be a "degenerate"?

Because to me it sounds like you're making a gigantic blanket generalization.
