As dope cut fantastically might become thus? (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spaced out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'become thus?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'as dope cut fantastically' is the wordplay.
'fantastically' indicates anagramming the letters (a fantastical ordering of the letters).
'as'+'dope'+'cut'='asdopecut'
'asdopecut' anagrammed gives 'SPACED-OUT'.

'might' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spaced out that I've seen before include "Not quite all there?" , "Disorientated through drugs" , "Separated" , "in a dazed state" , "High on drugs" .)
