My friend has been looking for a word that he claims *does* exist.
It is an adjective describing a type of drug that makes you *think*
you are having a real experience, but in reality you are not, you
are still sitting in the chair in the doctor's office or whereever
the drug was administered.  The word is NOT 'hallucinogen(ic)', which
describes a drug that induces *uncontrolled* hallucinations and
illusions.  The type of drug he is referring to is supposed to induce
a specific state of false reality.  Is there a word for this?
(I don't think there are drugs that do this yet, but who knows,
maybe we've all already taken them, or maybe only I have, or maybe only
you have...)
