Riker dueling Bat'leths with Worf, almost got cut in half near the beginning of the TNG episode Pegasus. Later in sick bay his former lover, dancing doctor and space heroine Beverly Crusher, tended to his muscular bloodied chest with the soft touch of a surgeons hands, massaging the worn soldier, then dosing beardboy with a quarter gallon of space-heroin for the unbearable pain.
How long was he blitzed, and how blitzed was Riker, when he was blitzed?
Junkie Will Riker, riding the dragon, making life and death decisions about the fate of Two galactic empires as well as Admiral Pressman's career, and playing Holodeck, where he might have been so dazed and confused from Crusher's super narcotics that he could not tell reality from Fiction, and forgot that he was not Chef, was no where close to being in his right mind, so that maybe a week later, after the haze lifts, Wil might be horrified by the decisions the drugs he took, made for him.
Oh?
Holographic Phlox, still a real Doctor in many ways, tells a useful parable where Trip almost became strung out on sedatives to check their cook's shakes, sweats and dilated pupils, the clear evidence of his dangerous addiction, because this is the man who can give them all brown underpants should Chef be strung out or high as a kite when he should be preparing dinner for 83 people remittently following all the proper health and safety regulations.
Phlox gave Riker a warning, that in a few days, if he was real, if it was still obvious that Chef, or who he perceived to be Chef, was still popping pills, and wasted, playing with knives, and in danger of giving the whole ship food poisoning, that that friendly warning would turn into a formal reprimand.
Drugs are bad.
