Similar to the banner used in your comment, I have always felt those substances push you to the pinnacle of infinity above, but for what reason? Nothing. Ultimately, you cannot reach there, and when you realise the reality, it's already too late to climb down to earth. Even if you manage to retreat to your earlier stage, significant time is lost in the process, making you feel dejected.
I know why you feel it is a lie, but the truth has been spoken.
