I shouldn't be surprised the church is involved in it. I didn't know about the lead singer of Korn. I take very little interest in the cult of celebritism (as I call it). (I have also been intending to see if I like Korn's music for years, but I just never got round to it!) The point about drugs and christianity both being the same is a good one, and that about Mexico, etc. makes a lot of sense, so the church would be involved in perpetuating the drugs cartel and crime, etc. From the way these individuals speak/type, they seem more American, British or Australian; knowing what I know about some European christians (foreigners coming here for jobs), these ones coming here don't seem to be 'faded'.
I also realise that christians would be forbidden to do drugs
technically, but we also know christians are cherry-pickers - as said, that it's "god"'s "creation". So is acid - and I don't mean Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, I mean HCL, for example - "god" "created" that, so have fun, christians! My point also is that, while christians are forbidden from doing drugs, but now they are "allowed" to, my point is "god" says it is "the same yesterday, today and forever", so they would still be forbidden; then again, they eat shellfish and pork, wear two types of fabric at once, have females preaching, etc., etc., etc.
Speaking also of Mexico, I refer to Hawaii where some Latinos (if I am not mistaken) live. In Dog the Bounty Hunter, Dwayne is "on a mission from 'god'", and tells the drug criminals that "the" bible says this, and "god" wants that... Those who are caught agree and apologise or go along with it (having been arrested, of course), etc. I wonder how much these actually are christians - I know America is supposed to be a christian country, and a lot seem to profess being christian but that's about it; they swear, do drugs, lust, are antagonistic... from what I have seen. (One could argue that is very unchristian, not how the christian is supposed to be; but another could argue that is very christian, being very pious, holier-than-thou, arrogant/hubristic, having delusions of grandeur...) So I wonder if any are actual christians who do drugs, or just christians in name doing drugs.
I don't know in which states the American ones live, but if they live in states where weed has been legalised, then they thank "god" that they can be stupid with buying and smoking it; christians in other states would be crying or being pious, etc., that it shouldn't be done (then if it is legalised in their states, some christians would do it, undoubtedly). So much for "god" being the same all the time, being different in different states. (I've also seen one christian arguing against Race-mixing, while another christian says they have interracial Children. I don't know if this interracial couple are clear-headed (in terms of not doing substances) or not.)
Of course - it is possible any of these are fake-christians, or just christians on Sundays, in name only or as lip service.

I don't like not being under control myself but under the substances influence.
Come again? I am not certain which parts you are quoting/paraphrasing, and which you are saying yourself.
