Getting more anxious arbitrarily when high would also support their statement. They didn’t say that getting less anxious was what indicated a disconnection between feelings and reality
Now this is an actual good argument. I might just have to concede that I'm wrong here in this case then. At least, anecdotally. I don't know anyone who gets high and is just.......the same. Which by your argument is what it would take to falsify OPs claim. Nice catch!
