Would you rather have drugs mess you up physically or mentally?

In a total hypothetical situation would you rather take a drug that causes you to lets say lose a couple toes or take lets say take 600mg of an unknown drug that removes a couple of the last brain cells you have?
I personally find drugs that fuck me up mentally more dangerous then drugs that mess me up physically. Like cocaine I would jump to use easier then "Molly" due to the dose per dose damage done to me. How do you feel?

Physical all day, I have a love/hate relationship with my mind, but my body I've always hated anyway.

mental=brain=physical.
physical=adaptation=neurological-remapping=mental.
That's just a really weird and "out-there" way of hypothesizing drug effects and a random situation. Then you start talking about real life drugs that you perceive working in this imaginary way... I'm confused.

I don't really understand the question.

Mental health doesn't make me live to 100.
Physical health does.

There is no such thing as a drug that only affects you either physically or mentally. It's impossible.
Your brain is a physical thing, so if you are "damaging" it with drugs (not really how it works, you are just altering your brain chemistry in maladaptive/adaptive ways), you are still altering yourself physically. If you lose toes, your entire way of life will change, including your neural pathways and many other mental aspects.
So what you suggested was an imaginary way for drugs to work. Losing toes and shit.
Then to clarify with an example, you start talking about real-life drugs that do not even remotely relate to this strange allegory you set up.
This post is weird and idk what you were going for. That's what the hell I just said.

"In a total hypothetical situation" I'm assuming you missed that?
It's the equivalent of somebody going "what if this thing that doesn't happen, happens" because they're curious to hear peoples responses. Not much more to it then that I don't think there was a goal with it other then curiosity.

Yeah, but I'm having a hard time grounding it in any way whatsoever...

Okay, we're in an alternate reality where the laws of physics and the way the world naturally operates is different and you only have a choice between two drugs but you are forced to take one..... this one will fuck up only the way you operate physically, and this one will only fuck up the way you think.....now which one would you choose.
If that isn't an easy enough hypothetical to answer, then I'm assuming you'd go with the latter.

I'd choose to lose my toes, but then I'd have to spend the next year learning how to walk again and face that developmental stunting. I'd probably lose my job and all my experience would no longer help me, so I'd also drop out of school (there's your causal brain damage right there) and might need to move back in with the 'rents. Mentally speaking, I will be depressed, anxious, maybe even suicidal. Cognitively, I'd be dull from unemployment.
But feel free to alter my outcome however you see fit. Who knows how things work in this strange new reality of yours!

Why would I alter your outcome, did you miss hypothetical again? There can't be a right answer. You sure you didn't already choose the latter?
I'm just being a dick for some reason, don't take me seriously.
Edit: I will make a mental note not to ask you any "what if" questions in the future though

If you choose physically you'll mess yourself up mentally, if you choose physically you'll mess yourself up physically

Physical if it isn't too bad. I mean, I wouldn't want to loose both my legs. I think I've already messed myself up mentally.
