Opiates enhancing ability???

It just made me sleepy and happy, maybe boosting my desire to sleep and do fuck all???

Enhancing ability, as in making players play through injuries by masking the pain.

If you have a legitimate need for pain-relief can you legally play on painkillers?

Yes, it's been happening for a long time. As an example, let's say a vital player is out injured but needs to "speed up the return date" because of a do-or-die season-making game, and voila those little magic pills and potions can do miracles.
