OK, this whole thread about gettin a boomer stoned is a bit .... unreal. Just because an organism requires O2 for its tissues does not mean that it can necissarily get stoned. Getting stoned is a biochemical process that deals with the drug in question playing havoc with some specific neurotransmitters in the brain, either by blocking the connection inactively, mimicing the NT and being more effective or by not permitting the NT from being re-absorbed and thereby increasing its effect. The fact that boomers have semi-organic 'muscles' may make them druggable with things like muscle relaxants and other such direct-effect medications, but in no way makes the boomer as a whole able to get stoned. The brain seems to be partly electronic and partly biological. The biological part may be succeptable to certain drugs depending on a) what parts are biological and b) what psychoactive drugs are available in DW-BGC, but if there is no pleasure center (and I can't see why KS would have built one in for a combat/work slave) then there is really no point to getting stoned other than a handy excuse to miss work ("I can't come in today, my left forklift is inoperable... must be somethign going around").
Anyway, since I'm taking molecular biology classes and have taken drug classes (LSD is fun, cocaine makes you schizo), I just had to get that off my chest.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled fantasy-escapism.

If architects built buildings the way programmers write programs, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization.
