There's an interesting article at

http://divermag.com/archives/dec96/divedoctor_Dec96.html

arguing that O2 is *not* narcotic.  The argument seems to make
sense, but from my own (and others') subjective experience,
I still believe it to be at least as narcotic as N2 and I'll
continue to treat it as such.  The article is an interesting
read, though.
