What is "you"? I think this sort of popular reasoning stems from a false intuition that we are living untruthfully, or that we have a wild animal burried inside. But why is the truer self the self awash in a foreign molecule? If you put say mdma on top of that, wouls that be yet an even truer self? I think it also represents the trepedation people feel regarding their own natures, the anxiety of selfhood. Instead of face up to a more abundant picture, a picture which is harder to grasp, its easier to be content with a false duality, human, animal, control, release. But what if release was finding deeper stability, deeper sanity? Why is wild, destructive and civilized the opposite of that?
