IDK seems fine to me.

> we also wouldn’t express someone being very focused as “being on Adderall”, or a very creative idea as being “on shrooms” in a scientific publication.

We don't because nobody does, and many people might not know what you mean.

Hmmm…but then, do you personally do steroids ? Or do you directly know people doing steroids ?

It looks to me like most people’s knowledge of steroids come from pop culture/doping scandals and news report, and use in articles like this one.
