>It reeks of the naturalist fallacy

The naturalist fallacy is often actual empirical reality (sometimes natural states are better).

It's just the fact that it's not always the case, which makes it a fallacy.

But in the case, overloading on drugs for every BS annoyance, and having them needlessly pushed by doctors on payola and gifts from pharmaceuticals, is worse than not doing it.

Very seldom is anything "always the case," and almost anything in the realm of drugs or similar interventions becomes bad if done in excess.

And that's the point the grandparent made: in the US, pharmaceutical drug use, is done in excess (considering e.g. Europe as the baseline).
