I saw a programme a while ago where a guy was given ketamine for pain after breaking his leg as an alternative to morphine and he started having and out-of-body experience. The doctors calmed him with midazolam.

You seem to find the idea of breaking rules and transcending ego threatening yxibow but others may not.

I NEVER felt depressed when I was flying on the coke plane.
Till the next day, that is...
