So I 23M and my girlfriend 21F arent seeing eye to eye when it comes to consumption of drugs. To give a little background we both drink alcohol and smoke weed on a fair basis so when it comes to “special occasion drugs” I only really think of magic mushrooms as a go-to.

She has an upcoming girls trip where they are going to a music festival and she has openly expressed a desire for her and her friends to take Molly or Extacy at this festival. However I feel I have a pretty solid line that I have been more than vocal with when it comes to hard drugs. Especially since hearing and witnessing coutless stories of people accidentally ODing, taking one drug thinking it was another, and knowing that people cut drugs with worse stuff, I don’t feel comfortable with her taking drugs like this, especially since I won’t be around. I worry about her safety since she is quite naive when intoxicated and the friends she is going with don’t really have any regard for her safety when they are intoxicated (this is from numerous of past stories I could but won’t tell)

So, would I be the asshole if I put my foot down and told my girlfriend I don’t want her taking drugs at this festival?¿

EDIT: I appreciate all the input everyone has given. A lot to think about. To clarify, when I mentioned hard drugs as Molly/Ecstasy I was naming those as the more common ones. She has also mentioned cocaine use and ketamine. (also we do shrooms together every once and a while. That is where my line is drawn. Secondly, when I said “putting my foot down” I mean in a sense of I am giving her the ultimatum because she can choose the drugs or me because I’m not comfortable being with someone who puts themselves in unnecessary danger for the sake of it.
