I wonder how much is based on his actual experience on the substances, and how much is based on what he expects the experience to be like, and what he knows about what the experience "should" be like.

Requires a double-blind study, I think!

For me, it's useful to see what the camera thinks he looks like, although it's unknown in this picture what's in his bloodstream.
