The comparison depends, I suppose, on the reason one gets high. If it's for recreation, then I'd say it's different. But if it's to avoid or escape discomfort, I don't think there's any substantial difference, regardless of the chemicals used. I think there is a high percentage of drug use, licit and illicit, that serves the end of alleviating simple discomfort, and in many cases doctors prescribe perhaps a bit too freely for patients who are simply uncomfortable, not debilitated.
