Drugs Are Bad, right? They're dangerous. You can get addicted. You could overdose. They have harmful side effects. You could bankrupt yourself, ruin your career, catch diseases from dirty needles. Drugs are bad! But what if they aren't bad? Maybe you take a drug and you feel really awesome. Maybe drugs lighten your bad mood. Maybe they make life more exciting. Maybe spiking the punch makes the Wild Teen Party a lot more fun. Drugs are good! As the title indicates, Drugs Are Good is the inverse of Drugs Are Bad. This trope is for instances in fiction and creative works where the use of drugs is portrayed in a positive light. Drugs Are Good is most frequently seen with cigarettes and alcohol, which have always been more or less socially acceptable. It also may accompany depictions of marijuana use, given the common perception of marijuana as a less harmful drug than other illegal drugs. Examples of Drugs Are Good with harder drugs such as cocaine and heroin are rarer, but not unknown; both drugs used to be legal and used medicinally and recreationally until the 1920s. LSD can sometimes be depicted as such, where it's used as a tool for greater understanding and making things look more colorful. Many Stoner Flicks are examples of this. Ode to Intoxication is the musical equivalent if it's played straight. Related tropes include Drunken Master (getting drunk/stoned makes you better at something) and Smoking Is Cool (which is about signaling a character is cool but does involve a positive portrayal of smoking). Compare with Higher Understanding Through Drugs, which isn't so much "drugs are good" (it's often depicted as a creepy or forceful effect) as "drugs are useful". The Functional Addict may believe this but they really aren't an example. The Smug Straight Edge or the Dry Crusader may pop up in a Drugs Are Good work. This trope may get paired with Drugs Are Bad in a work that shows the "good" side of drugs but then pivots to Drugs Are Bad to show the consequences. Note that this trope is about the users of drugs, not the sellers. For "drug dealing is good", see Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster! or Better Living Through Evil. Examples |

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: The epic, Very Loosely Based on a True Story tale of Hunter S. Thompson's drug-fueled adventures in Las Vegas. The preface quotes Samuel Johnson: "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." The book is about Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo (Thompson's avatars for himself and Oscar Acosta) indulging in copious amounts of drugs in order to escape the decline of American culture and the failure of the counterculture movement. Could be read both ways. Thompson brutally mocks police efforts to come to grips with drug culture and the War on Drugs, but Duke and Dr. Gonzo cross the line so many times that it's a miracle they both escape Las Vegas. Lampshaded by Duke, who notes they've gone to such excess that no one could possibly believe it. |

In That '70s Show, the main characters are all recreational users of weed, and suffer no ill effects from it. In fact, the penultimate episode features a plot where Hyde worries his friends when he reacts to changes in his life by quitting weed, and they have an intervention to make him reconsider. | |

Fringe: Various cases are solved with the assistance of narcotics, Olivia Dunham spends much of the pilot on homemade LSD in a sensory deprivation tank, Walter is constantly using psychotropics (on himself and others), and one of his former test subjects, while decidedly loopy as a result of her LSD-induced trances, is entirely happy and expresses her gratitude to Walter years later - with a kiss. Walter uses a bong, which is still pretty rare on American network television. And Episode 3x19 is called "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide". That's LSD, kids. Astrid is the only member of the central cast who hasn't been under the influence of drugs onscreen at some point. |

Mad Men has multiple examples of this. Peggy Olson lights up a joint more than once and always enjoys herself. Roger Sterling takes LSD, loves it, and tries to get his friends to do it too. (On the other hand, the series has always taken a dark view of alcohol abuse. Heroin is another counterexample, given the example of Don's mistress Midge.) Season 1 provides a meta example, as Don is trying to come up with an advertising campaign for Lucky Strike cigarettes. |

In The Consuming Shadow, syringes of an unidentified "recreational narcotic" are your Bulwark Against the Terror; the one non-random event thing that can restore your Sanity Meter. Though it is a bit downplayed in that it is only a temporary boost, and using it too often reduces its effectiveness. It's a good idea to save a dose for your confrontation with whatever Eldritch Abomination is trying to eat the world this playthrough. | |

Schitt's Creek has multiple examples: In a first season episode, the Roses eagerly accept a joint from the Schitts, who had presumed the posh Roses would be above it. Moira responds by bragging that she and Johnny had friends and the FDA. A couple of episodes later, Stevie and David smoke her scuzzy cousin's weed and have a great time, including Kissing Under the Influence. In the third season, David gets stoned with Stevie and then leaves a series of adorable messages for Patrick, whom he just met. When David and Patrick open their store, Jocelyn and Roland accuse David of running a front because the loose leaf tea is weed. A surprised David first denies it, but when it's clear that it is true, Roland and Jocelyn happily buy several bags. In the fourth season, the Jazzagals go on a road trip and Jocelyn brings along magic brownies while Moira brings military grade caffeine pills. |

The Mystery of the Leaping Fish is a very strange short film from 1916 starring Douglas Fairbanks as a private detective named Coke Ennyday who really, really likes cocaine. Possibly a satirical take on Sherlock Holmes, he is constantly shooting up with cocaine and laughing like a maniac. He defeats the bad guys by jabbing them with cocaine syringes until they're as high as he is. | |

Two different and unrelated subversions in Daughter for Dessert: The protagonist enjoys smoking weed with Kathy, and they come up with some cool creative ideas. However, Kathy falls asleep while at her computer, trying to get started. The marijuana-fueled threesome between the protagonist, Kathy, and Heidi is fun, especially for the protagonist, but Heidi starts acting weird afterward, and she later reveals that casual sex isn’t her thing. The drugs were just drawing her into something she’d rather not do. |

Subverted in The Wolf of Wall Street. Jordan Belfort claims that drugs are totally awesome, and takes multiple pills and lines of different types a day. It's clear however that he's a just a common addict, and it even aids his own undoing when he's literally too drugged out to do any effective damage control once the authorities start investigating his illegal operations. | |

After the Revolution: All the 'good' characters use drugs at one point during the book, while the villains are Straight Edge Evil Christian fundamentalists. The 'nicest' faction in the Texan Civil War, the anarcho-posthuman Mobile City of Rolling Fuck, makes a living synthesizing drugs and selling it to towns they pass near, and everyone living there are permanently high. No-one has a bad trip; even Manny taking an LSD-laced beer intended for a post-human just causes him to wig out for a few hours and go to a really strange rave and gives him the determination to help Rolling Fuck rescue their people from the Heavenly Kingdom. | |

Law & Order, of all shows, plays this straight during Van Buren's cancer storyline. She initially refuses to use medical marijuana as she's aware of how professionally disastrous it would be for her if discovered.

Monster Prom and its sequels has many instances of characters using recreational drugs (mainly Polly the hedonistic ghost in the first game), and makes it clear that recreational drug use is okay as long as you're responsible about it, differentiating between drug use and drug abuse and that you should seek help if you start abusing drugs. | |

Played with in Violenceâ„¢: The Roleplaying Game of Egregious and Repulsive Bloodshed (a satire of hack-n-slash RPGs). The section on Drugs is basically an extended Author Tract that can be summarized as "Drugs aren't that bad, but they can be addictive and dangerous, so stick to alcohol because it's safer," along with some guidelines for roleplaying various effects. | |

Being a parody and satire of Chick Tracts, the strip Chemical Salvation? naturally uses this trope, arguing that LSD has numerous medical uses as well as allowing spiritual awakening, and glosses over any negative side-effects. It even suggests that conservative Christians worldwide conspired to prohibit the drug on trumped-up charges so that the general public wouldn’t find out that religious experiences have a purely natural cause, thereby discrediting religion. | |

In John Crowley's magic-realism novel Little, Big: or, The Fairies' Parliament, George Mouse owns a huge crumbling old New York townhouse with a basement full of commercially packaged hashish bars◊. The building had once housed a Lebanese grocery, at a time when hashish was sold legally and openly as penny candy.note If you live where pot is legal you can make your own hash bars relatively easily. George also takes a drug called Pellucidar, probably a street drug like Ecstasy named after the Edgar Rice Burroughs stories, which seems to be a mild stimulant enhancing perception, but has nasty after-effects. | |

Disco Elysium pairs this with Drugs Are Bad for a deliberately ambiguous situation the player can make their own decisions about. The protagonist is an Addled Addict and the poverty and depression of the city is highlighted by its massive culture of drug abuse, but drugs are genuinely useful in gameplay, temporarily boosting your stats enough to overcome difficult checks and even allowing you to level up skills past your skill caps. (Of course, they damage your health, and, as stats turn into personality flaws at higher levels, can be used to turn yourself into a very extreme and annoying person.) It's also very clear that the drug with which the protagonist is doing most damage to his life with is legal, socially acceptable alcohol, with his favourite illegal drug (amphetamines) used less for its own effects and more to allow him to power through hangovers and pull all-nighters so he can drink more. (Jean, in the ending, will admit he'll put up with you dabbling with speed and hallucinogens so long as it means you aren't drinking.) Your partner will judge you for trying to get high while on the job, but respects your decision to use drugs as a valid method; in a late-game scene, Kim asks you if using amphetamines makes you a better cop, admitting he's genuinely curious about trying it himself. One of the reasons Dros was as disgusted by Klaasje as he was is because he saw her taking recreational drugs - not because they are destroying her body or getting her sucked into relationships with worthless men (although both those things are true), but because he loathes distraction and pleasure in all its forms, seeing it as counterrevolutionary. Considering the way Dros resolves this disgust, and the fact that Klaasje herself is agitating towards a revolution that may actually happen, it comes across as if the game is saying that chemical fun is just as legitimate a joy as other kinds of fun. Ruby will defend the drug trade, saying that the problem with drugs isn't because the drugs themselves are bad, but the fact that the people of Martinaise are forced to overuse them due to living in a society where they have nothing else good in their lives. While characters who have exposed themselves to the Pale are psychologically altered by the experience in ways that they mostly admit aren't beneficial, they also have a Higher Understanding Through Drugs that allows them to see things other characters can't. Paledriver describes her Pale exposure as 'a heroic dose', borrowing a term from psychonaut culture to describe massive doses of substances done in order to explore the deepest depths of the subconscious or reality, and she is happy with her ability to slip into the golden ages of the past. Joyce has been highly overexposed and it has left her with insomnia, but also with an Olympian view of the world that allows her to understand the workings of history and value people's lives far more than the pursuit of profit. Tiago used exposure to the Pale to recover from alcoholism and leave a life of crime - even though your character, and most others, view it as having swapped one addiction for another. |

Psionics: The Next Stage in Human Evolution: With a few notable exceptions, drugs either have positive effects on espers or at least have benefits that outweigh the costs. The Zodiac Order also has this outlook on drugs in general. Breaks in the book's text often have little pictures of pills in them. Tomorrow's Starlight details a character experiencing a very pleasant trip at a concert and most of the characters use drugs including alcohol frequently. |

In the Empath: The Luckiest Smurf story "The New Shop In The Village", Chatty and Nosey Smurf both open the equivalent of a "coffee and pot shop" in the Smurf Village called The Wake N Bake Brew Shop as an alternative to Tapper's Tavern for smurfnip users to enjoy using it when a new strain of smurfnip that gets Smurfs high but doesn't produce hallucinations is developed and thus smurfnip is legalized in the village, but Tapper's Tavern still wouldn't allow smurfnip users to light up in there. Although it was supposed to be a morning-only shop, Chatty and Nosey have it open the following evening when their wives bake smurfnip-laced desserts. Empath visits the shop during the evening hours and just sees the Smurfs enjoying a peaceful night in the shop, smoking smurfnip and eating desserts, and simply lets them be without bringing any kind of punishment upon them. | |

The first episode of The Path shows ceremonial use of ayahuasca by Meyerist believers, led by a Peruvian shaman. Throughout the series, it's shown to be helpful and healing. Marijuana is used as a meditation aid or just to relax. These drugs are considered so beneficial that one of our first hints that Cal Roberts should not be Meyerism's new leader is that he wants to stop their use, just to make Meyerism look better to outsiders and recruit more followers. | |

The plot of Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine involves a hallucinogenic drug called "dizzy dizzy" which is stated to have been derived from research into LSD. While it is a villainous force throughout the story, the end of the first episode shows Lupin, after launching the drug into the ocean, frolicking happily in brightly-coloured hallucinogenic water and encouraging the others to come for a swim with him, with no ill effects. Even later, when the villains get him high on the drug and reality begins to break down, he alludes to Zenigata that he'd be enjoying this if Zenigata hadn't shown up. One of the sequel movies also shows Fujiko casually hitting a bong while relaxing after a heist. | |

Narcotics! Yep. Cleverly disguised as writing pens so you can use the drugs in class. What is the surefire way to tell that your friend hasn't been infected with an alien parasite in this movie?

South Park: the subplot of the episode "Ike's Wee Wee" has Mr. Mackey, the school counselor that's always saying "drugs are bad, hmmkey?", being fired and evicted, which leads to him experimenting alcohol, marijuana and LSD on the streets. He ends up becoming much more relaxed because of that and even marries a hippie woman. When the school sends the A-Team to bring him to Rehab so he could have his job again, he insists that he's happy with his new lifestyle (the A-Team doesn't listen, however, and Mr. Mackey is back to normal by the end of the episode). What's more, the A-Team found Mackey after he'd been off drugs for quite a while. He needed the drugs to cope with how badly things went for him, but once Mackey's life improved he didn't need them anymore. | |

The main characters in Eden Green smoke marijuana to calm themselves in several situations, especially after infection with an alien needle symbiote. The title character also uses heroin (or rather, has it administered to her) to deal with the agony. By contrast, the main character in sequel New Night is a former police officer who personally doesn't approve of drugs, but tolerates his best friend's stoner tendencies. (The author is pro-marijuana and sometimes uses psychedelics.) | |
