You wrote,[...no.. (does the bible in question state that those that use mind-altering drugs will be cast into the Lake of Fire).
I am unsure as to how you determined your answer. If you could post answers to the following, then I couuld have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A.Did you use the entire Bibile including Rev 21:8 as part of your answer that one will not be cast into the Lake of Fire if they use mind-altering drugs?
B. If so, what in that verse, if anything, leads you to state the answer as {no}?
C. something else.
