That's what sober people say about hanging out with those imbibing. You're not wrong tho.

Some substances at least make people more social or more engaged and empathetic. Any drug that makes someone stare at their lap and not respond to outside stimulus is probably bad for social settings.

I don't do drugs (anymore) but I enjoy hanging out with people who can use drugs and be social.

Ketamine?

Huh? Careful with those absolutes. I've been sober for seven years now and don't find this statement to be the case for me. I enjoy hanging around both sober and non-sober folk alike. Hell, I regularly have a blast on packed dancefloors surrounded by incredibly inebriated folk, both friends and strangers, very late into the night.

Everyone's different.

Addiction is the perfect comparison here.
