Characters consuming what they think is a drug, they start acting accordingly, but turns out to be a placebo. Whether it's an oregano joint, a mysterious pill that turns out to be aspirin, or non-alcoholic beer, you'd never know it by the way the person is acting. Related to Magic Feather (when it's a Motivational Lie) and the Placebo Effect (for how it works). See also I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin! and Drunk on Milk, for when this isn't an accident. If a character deliberately pretends to be drunk/high, they're Playing Drunk. |

Happens twice in Clone High, which parodied Very Special Episodes: First, when Abe buys non-alcoholic beer for the Wild Teen Party: Also happens in the episode "Raisin the Stakes: A Rock Opera in Three Acts" which is about teens going wild and hippie after smoking... raisins. Unusual for this trope, the raisins are actually sold by an Aggressive Drug Dealer, who turns out to be Special Guest Star Jack Black, who had been hired to raise sales for raisins. |

Spider-Man 2099: Played for Drama. Tyler Stone laced Miguel's drink with a drug that mimicked the effects of the instantly addictive and extremely dangerous Rapture, except that this drug would flush out of his system in three days. Unfortunately, Miguel thought it was the actual drug, and because it works by bonding to the user's DNA, Miguel proceeded to try and alter his DNA to get rid of its effects, accidentally becoming Spider-Man in the process due to a third party sabotaging him. He is NOT happy to find out the drug was a fake. | |

The Simpsons, "Deep Space Homer": To prove that space travel is within reach of the common man, NASA selects Barney and Homer to go through a training course before one of them gets an actual rocket trip. Once deprived of alcohol, Barney passes with flying colours and is given a congratulatory glass of champagne. He immediately goes nuts ("It begins!"), chugs the rest of the bottle, grabs a jetpack and flies off. The scientists don't understand, as it was non-alcoholic champagne. | |

Persona 4: The Animation uses this in the club of episode 15. Half the characters start acting as if they're drunk, even after it's confirmed that there's no alcohol served there. Carries over to the next day, where the ones who acted drunk don't seem to remember much of the previous day. Except Yu Narukami, who mentions "I took things a little too seriously." | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, Gerolt Blackthorn is working for Godbert Manderville to create a new set of powerful weapons, but he hates every second of it. Sensing Gerolt's ire with him, Godbert invites him to air out his grievences over some fine Hanish spirits. Gerolt's never one to pass on a drink, and so the two get to talking and drinking. Many rounds later, Gerolt is so plastered that he's hallucinating. Once he's staggered away back to his forge, Godbert reveals that part way through the drinking, he had subtilty swapped their alcohol for carrot juice out of concern for Gerolt's health, meaning most of Gerolt's intoxication is placebo (or perhaps muscle memory). | |

Referenced in The Order of the Stick when Soul-Splice Vaarsuvius starts to behave in an evil manner, even though the soul splices can't actually affect their alignment. According to the fiends, "A good way to get a good person to do something horrible is to convince them they're not responsible for their actions." It's compared to someone drinking beer they didn't know was non-alcoholic and feeling drunk anyway because they expected to be. The dialog implies that Cedric is speaking from experience. | |

An episode of Absolutely Fabulous has the characters travel to France. Patsy gets bored and does some coke, which loosens her up enough to tolerate Saffron's presence and play table tennis. On the way back home, the drugs are found by airport security, but they determine that they were fake all along. Patsy is horrified, not because she spent a fortune on phony drugs, but because this meant she actually enjoyed playing table tennis. | |

After Mulder wanders the streets of Texas in a Mushroom Samba Vision Quest, he wakes up in a hospital bed where Einstein tells him she was so sceptical, she didn't give him magic mushrooms at all but a placebo. This being The X-Files, however, it still worked. | |

Candace touches Orange Moss in the woods, which she was told causes wild hallucinations, and begins acting insane, "thinking" Perry is a spy, imagining a sassy, anthropomorphic zebra calling her "Kevin", and confusing a self-destruct button for a vending machine. At the end of the episode, after her "recovery", her grandmother explains that it is actually Blue Moss that causes hallucinations, and that the only reason Candace was "crazy" was because of the "power of suggestion". Just then, Candace touches some Blue Moss. | |

In an episode of Celebrity Deathmatch, Nick Diamond gets some hemp clothing from Woody Harrelson; unfortunately, the clothes catch fire, and after inadvertently getting a face full of smoke, Nick spends the rest of the episode stoned out of his gourd. Hemp, of course, while being a variety of the cannabis sativa plant species, differs from marijuana in that it does not contain THCnote Actually, it contains only trace amounts of THC, usually no more than 0.2 to 0.3 percent, which is the legal limit for growing industrial hemp, and when Harrelson points this out at the end of the episode, Nick is very embarrassed (he is naked and playing the bongos at this point). | |

In one sketch on French and Saunders, two teen girls sit in their room describing their LSD trip with vivid detail. It isn't until one friend realizes that her tab tastes minty that her companion lets slip that the pill was just a Tic-Tac. | |

In 50 First Dates Adam Sandler's character will often give his dates large drinks which he says are alcoholic, but really aren't. He's found that this way the women get just as slutty as they would if they were actually drunk, but still retain all their motor skills when having sex. | |

In Great Pretender, the protagonists Makoto and Laurent are trying to con a mobster into buying a new drug called "Sakura Magic", which Makoto accidentally ingests. His vision blurs, he becomes paranoid, and he tries to violently escape the mobster's house and has to be physically held down. But Sakura Magic turns out to be literally just candy — that's the con — and it was all placebo making Makoto wig out. | |

Scooby-Doo: Velma is laughing and having drinks with a college student and, in a Deleted Scene, begins drunkenly serenading Daphne and/or Fred (they're standing beside each other when she motions towards them), only for Mr. Mondavarious to mention to Shaggy that Velma's drinks were non-alcoholic. | |

NCIS: New Orleans. Tall and skinny Sebastian kicks the ass of a guy twice his size, assuming it's because of the high from a seasickness medication another agent gave him. It turns out the medication was a placebo and he did it all on his own. | |

Homestar Runner: One Strong Bad e-mail has Strong Bad performing a science experiment of the effects of caffeine on Strong Sad. So he slips a spoonful of Sanka — instant decaf — into Strong Sad's orange juice, and Strong Sad instantly goes into a caffeinated blitz. Oddly subverted; Strong Sad didn't know anything was being slipped into his orange juice, so it can't be a placebo effect. Apparently his body is just that sensitive to caffeine. | |

My Family had a marijuana joint that actually turned out to be made of cinnamon and oregano powered by the placebo effect shared by Ben and Susan. Effects range from Susan overcoming her habitual mental block as to how horrible her cooking is, to Ben correcting the lyrics to Jimi Hendrix songs at the top of his voice. | |

Frasier combines this with Intoxication Ensues (the inversion). Niles gets a hash brownie, but Martin eats it without realising what it is, and replaces it with a normal brownie. And even when Frasier actually explains what happened, Niles still doesn't realise: | |
