Based on the description of Nathaniel's friend losing his grip on reality, swinging a knife, and expressing a delusional belief about fireflies attacking him, the type of drug he has most likely abused is a hallucinogen. Hallucinogens can cause altered perceptions and hallucinations, which fits the behavior and statements of Nathaniel's friend.
