Look at the big picture, which is that everything changes people. Drugs are simple to pinpoint, because they act fast and big. (Plus it's not like alcohol is illegal, yet it kills a lot of people, and the prohibition failed.) Reading books changes people, just look at how many people credit "Atlas Shrugged" as the book that started their journey to become libertarian. Similarly, we see each and every day how effective is propaganda. We see how hard it is to kill xenophobia, bigotry and other biases. But we also know how these develop, how people get radicalized by terrorist organizations. Yet the same thing happens albeit with a lower intensity and without a focused purpose when people watch/read/consume whatever the community/culture they are embedded in throws at them. 4chan changes people. QAnon changes people. The antivax hysteria changes people. Psychedelic drugs change people, yet the opioid and crack epidemics were not about LSD, they are about an alcohol++. They are about legal painkillers, yet no one is really advocating banning painkillers.
