Indian and Drug connection between Lone Ranger and Cuckoo

Okay, so I was just writing about Chief Bromdens perspective for the homework and I made this random connection between Indians and drugs between The Lone Ranger and Cuckoos Nest.

In Cuckoos Nest, Bromden, who is half Indian, is forcibly drugged in order to "heal" him and make him sane. However, these drugs make him feel more crazy because they make him hallucinate. For example, he hallucinates about the fog when he is being shaved.

Whereas in Lone Ranger, Indians such as Victor, Junior, and Thomas all do drugs as a way of avoiding reality. They think that drugs will help them cope with reality, but is actually just postponing the time when they will come to terms with their life as a reservation Indian. It does not actually heal them.
