perception altering subtances and responsibility

[Don Quixote]

if you chose to take a perception altering substance (recreational or prescription) and do not take precautions (say designated driver or someone to watch over you (say if you take something like LSD)) then you are a fool and are responsible for your actions

for example, i take a number of prescriptions most of which recommend neither ingesting alcohol nor operating machinery - if i ignore that advise and do not take precautions then any harm that i do is my own fault

personal freedom requires personal responsibility

So what if I take LSD and took "precautions" by getting someone to watch me and the LSD causes me to start hitting the person who's watching me.

Am I off the hook because of my "precautions"?

WM I don't think LSD would work out very well for you.

Kids still do it today.

I've served as a sitter for dozens of noobies and first timers.

Well anyway, for context, I'm not arguing that doing drugs should be able to get you off in a crime, I'm merely trying to present the logical flaws in trying to use drugs as an aggravating factor. It doesn't make any sense. It is just trying to look tough for the sake of looking tough.
