a lot of drugs have extremely specific aesthetics or design or imagery or 'logos'.
-lsd: tie-dye, fractals, clouds, colourful
-cocaine: 80s, white ferrari, mirrors, sterile, modern, primary colours
-crack: ghetto, browns, 80s/90s/guns, black,
- weed: green, leaves, smoke, chill.
- Opium: middle-east/india, low ceilings, smokey, exotic, ferns, persian carpets
I'm interested in what is the graphic design of drugs that are more popular now. things like nootropics and benzos. Do they have an aesthetic or marketed image or design? If not, what would it be?
The images are associated with the people that take those drugs. Who's taking nootropics and benzos?

You've clearly never met anyone who does coke. Coke's personality is basically a beer commercial's conception of a sexy party.

nootropics are mostly nerdy, efficient, spreadsheet scheduling, research reviewing types it seems
benzos are all over the place, mainstays like valium make me think of upper-middle-class women in sweat pants and large clean living rooms, xanax makes me think of glazed-eyed amnesic ocean pacific t-shirt wearing twenty-something males who are usually using other hard pharma narcotics and amphetamines
rc benzos are kind of a blank slate in my mind, I'm on flubromazolam atm and have a stash of flubromazepam, etizolam and clonazolam, I'm a pretty straight laced but laid back guy I dunno I hang out on a olt of rc forums and I would say the only real defining feature of the users there is that they are drug nerds to some extent, a lot of students and o-chem types I suppose, kind of tech-nerdy as well

benzos are middle aged businessmen, quiet overdoses, and small funerals
DMT, which has come into popularity as of late, is associated with the Amazon, snakes, jungle atmopsheres, shamans.
Ecstasy is definately bright neon, flashing lights, sunglasses, kandy.

interesting that LSD (and tryptamines in general) has actually generated some of its associated art from the properties of the drug itself, rather than arbitrary associations to the culture around the drug

And MDMA makes everything seem brighter and more vibrant.

Well it's the only drug OP listed that causes the user to experience visuals, and quite strong, distinct visuals at that, so it makes sense.

I think you mean Ayahuasca with the jungle imagery, DMT without the MAOI which makes it ayahuasca is fractals and aliens. 5-MEO-DMT is just pure white.
