That sounds like a wildly overreaching claim. We can do that now / in the near future? I don't think so.

At a local NLP seminar everything was fun, while they reinduced drug experiences. They went on building and increase the intensity. After a while the intensity reached the point that a person dropped unconscious and stayed that way for 10 minutes and the fun was over.

To me it seems possible to raise the intensity of experiences via hypnosis very far.
