paid a high price for his use of recreational drugs

yeah, but...
every society has recreational drugs that are acceptable, and others that aren't. Alcohol is OK, weed is not.

LSD is taboo, but giving pregnant mothers, about to give birth scopilame,(not sure of the spelling-i'll look it up in a few) (a close cousin to LSD) is OK. it causes halucinations too.. but its OK 'cause doctors prescibe it. (or did for many, many years.)

opium and cocaine were legal OTC drugs once. tylonol might not be addictive, but an accidental overdose can be as deadly.

through out the ages, people have found all sorts of drugs that are psychotropic, and societies have accepted them, or rejected them.. as they see fit, with no clear cut 'rules' as to why one is acceptable and another isn't.
