Was referring to this really:
Do the rats have free will in this situation? If you trap a rat and supply it with cocaine, is that the same thing as elephants eating fermented apples, and is that the same as humans administering drugs they know to be harmful?
I think you are talking about the often cited one where they where given the opportunity to self-administer coke or heroin by pressing a button. Those on coke kept at it until the ODed, those on heroin pressed the button and headed off to the corner to goof off a bit, returning to the button when the effects wore off.
