When writers want to do a Very Special Episode but don't invent a one-shot abuser friend, they generally feel skittish about having their character suddenly use so-called 'hard' drugs. Coupled with this is the infamous rigidity of broadcast standards and practices, who sometimes frown on the depiction of drugs even if it is completely negative. Thus, any drugs commonly portrayed are just unnamed drugs in a ominous-looking context, such as red-and-white caplets or vaguely white powder. Occasionally over-the-counter but still-unnamed drugs are used, which carries a bit more realism. The writers might also just invent a fictional drug. A riskier prospect is to depict a named drug, but with ridiculously overblown effects considering the known real-world impact of the drug and the shortness of the storyline. This was commonly done with marijuana despite the public perception of its effects as "bland," and thus a major reason such depictions are avoided in case they are not taken seriously. In any case, the strength of any drug never seems to result in symptoms of withdrawal in further episodes. Alcohol can usually fit the bill, since it's commonly viewed as merely "adult" or even inoffensive and culturally mainstream, rather than sinful or dangerous. In comedies, a complete non-drug may be treated as if it were, like sugar addicts or milk-alcoholics: that's I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin! In Speculative Fiction, the drug may be entirely fictional, making it a Fantastic Drug (which, if it gives superpowers, would be Psycho Serum). Despite the name of the trope, this can show up in works with adult ratings, not just G-rated/family-friendly works, usually for the following reasons: Moral Guardians — and in many cases, the actual creative teams - may feel uncomfortable using real drugs in certain contexts, even if the rating would otherwise allow for it. For example, if the story depicts use of a deadly narcotic as fun, cool and useful with no bad consequences, it can sometimes be reasonable to fiddle "opium" into "Tropeium" to prevent unnecessary negative attention and get on with telling the story. This tends to show up in types of work that wouldn't be taken seriously by executives as having a valid artistic reason to use a real drug, so tends to turn up in trashy sci-fi TV, lurid exploitation flicks or pulpy power-fantasy video games. Truth in Television! While many G Rated Drugs are fictional or don't work, there are plenty of legal, inoffensive drugs that do have the ability to make people addicted. Someone trying to make an autobiographical work about their addiction to workout supplements, antitussives or over-the-counter sleep aids will run into this by default.

When Floyd buys a deluxe barbecue grill in the Smart Guy episode "Diary of a Mad Schoolgirl," he (and eventually Mo) develop an addiction to using it, to the point of stuffing nothing but meat in the fridge, and seeing nothing weird or dangerous about grilling in the middle of a thunderstorm. Yvette tries to hold an intervention, but it just goes over Floyd and Mo's heads. In The Stinger of the selfsame episode, Floyd and Mo are grilling... in the midst of heavy snowfall. | |

The Knuckles the Echidna spin-off series of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) featured a mini-arc involving the Chaotix investigating the distribution of an addictive substance called Lemon Sundrop Dandelion, under the guise of secret sauce for a theme park's chili dogs. It had led to the death of one of Charmy the Bee's old friends before the story began. Its hallucinogenic side effects are coincidentally similar to actual LSD (hence the equally-coincidental connection to the comic's drug name). | |

Radagast in The Hobbit feels the effects of Gandalf's pipe-weed, and Saruman later comments disapprovingly on his consumption of mushrooms. At the risk of informing you of something you already know: Tolkien unambiguously intended "pipe-weed" to be interpreted as Nicotiana, not Cannabis. Though tobacco does contain, as the genus name indicates, nicotine, and that can give people who aren't used to it a "buzz". | |

Averted on multiple occasions in Hank the Cowdog In the first book, Hank gets drunk on fermented corn—which he goes out of his way to inform the reader is alcoholic, complete with slurred speech, loss of balance, and a Drunken Song. It happens again in a later book, where he tricks a monkey into opening bottle of beer from the fridge which they both share. Another Drunken Song ensues. The cowboys are also frequently seen chewing tobacco. | |

In Metal Gear Solid V, the player can gather medicinal plants in order to develop various items, usually drugs or drug-based weapons. As the game could not be seen to endorse real drug manufacture, species associated with illegal drugs were tweaked. "Golden Crescent", an ancient analgesic cultivated in Afghanistan and used to make Instant Sedation weapons, is an opium poppy recoloured blue, a colour impossible for poppies to be in real life. The name 'Golden Crescent' is a traditional name for the area opium is cultivated, though in-game we're informed the plant's name comes from its golden, crescent-shaped leaves (which it does not have). "Haoma" is a central nervous stimulant plant used to make drugs that enhance senses or speed up perception of time. It is said to have been included in a sacred drink named Haoma in Zoroastrianism, but is Ephedra sinica with the stem and bud colours reversed. (Ephedra is the plant which gives us ephedrine, a stimulant drug and a naturally occurring member of the amphetamine family, and is the most archaeologically evidenced candidate for the active ingredient of Soma, a sacred drink of the ancient Aryan war god cult). Wormwood and the two Digitalis species are real plants that are medically useful in real life, but the effects of them in the game are not representative of their real purposes. V vapes wormwood for recreation - while wormwood in reality is believed to have some recreational psychoactive effects, these are more along the lines of 'pleasant, stimulated feeling of everything being just right' rather than 'deliriously fast-forwarding an entire day's worth of time'. Digitalis is a valuable drug in the real world for slowing dangerously high heartbeats, but in the game is used to create tranquillisers, and Ishmael makes V instantly alert and resilient to pain with an injection of (digitalis-derived) digoxin in the opening sequence as if it was some kind of intense stimulant. |

In the Welcome to the NHK light novel and manga, nearly the first thing we see the protagonist do is snort a small amount of a 'legal drug' he 'brought off the internet'. In the anime, the drug was removed, and the resulting trip was changed from a drug-induced hallucination into a psychotic hallucination. | |

Welcome Back, Kotter: The episode "What Goes Up ..." featured Freddie (one of the show's four main students) becoming addicted to painkillers after being prescribed them to heal a basketball injury. He convinces a scared Horshack that the pills are really just "vitamins" (but is unsuccessful with his teacher or other friends), only seeing the light when Horshack tries to contact the pusher who sold Freddie the pills. | |

Homestuck: Meulin and Kurloz apparently get stoned on catnip together. Catnip does have relaxing and euphoric effects similar to weed when smoked by humans in real life, but it's not potent enough to get anyone stoned enough to completely space out for about ten minutes like Meulin suspects 'nip' made her do. Damara is shown smoking a blunt and asks Meenah to get stoned with her, but it's never explained what exactly she is smoking. Later, there is a powerful magic artifact known as a juju, shaped like a lollipop, the licking of which causes great power and great insanity. From an outside perspective, it resembles a powerful hallucinogen. There's also Faygo, which affects trolls in a similar way to how alcohol affects humans. Eridan is fairly unimpressed by it, but Gamzee is more or less addicted to it and Terezi becomes so on the meteor. |

Vampire Academy: Moroi and Strigoi release endorphins when they feed. This is treated as seriously as any other drug, however. There are three notable references to the drug-like qualities. Those that are "feeders" are perfect examples. They allow the Moroi to drink from them in return for the high. Those who have been a feeder for a long time are portrayed to be very out of it, almost constantly high. Blood Whores are Dhampires that let Moroi feed on them. While feeders are treated with respect, Blood Whores, surprisingly, are not. Rose has to deal with something similar in the first book, as when she ran away with Lissa, she would allow Lissa to feed on her. When Strigoi Dimitri captures Rose, he keeps her incapacitated by feeding off of her. |

In Worldwar by Harry Turtledove, it turns out that ginger is an extremely addictive drug to the Race (with effects similar to cocaine) and within a few months of the invasion, drug smuggling rings have sprung up and humans are exploiting the addiction. The bigger problems start when females arrive and it turns out that ginger sends them into estrus (they normally mate in seasons). This results in two new institutions among the Race: prostitution and romantic love. | |

In a scene parodying Tony Stark's struggles with alcoholism at the time, Mikey, the club's former Iron Man, is shown aimlessly wandering around Brooklyn without any shoes on and guzzling a bottle of...Coca-Cola. When Mikey begins questioning his own memory, he even says "I have been hitting the old sugar-water lately." | |

All of the Fallout games use made-up drugs (called "chems") with drastic effects far beyond those of real-world drugs (for example, drinking a beer will make the character objectively stronger for a short time, letting him/her carry more and use heavier equipment). Fallout 3 was set to contain real-world morphine, but Australian Moral Guardians led to the game being banned until "morphine" was replaced with the generic "Med-X." Fallout: New Vegas even introduces "Fixer," an anti-drug that will kick your addictions in exchange for some Interface Screw. The series also subverts this, since the drugs and their beneficial effects are fictional, but prolonged use will cause harmful effects and create stat-damaging dependencies that have to be treated. |

Kamen Rider has sometimes used the drug metaphor for whatever's turning people into the Monster of the Week: The Gaia Memories in Kamen Rider Double give their users superpowers, but improper use results in addiction, insanity, and withdrawal symptoms. It doesn't help that people who use them are called Dopants. Don't even think about mainlining one; it will mess up your body. And may your deity of choice help you if you get an adulterated Gaia Memory from a shadier-than-usual dealer... And most Dopants only use one Memory for a VERY good reason, the only one shown to have used more than one (in fact a large number) got a VERY disturbing death. Zodiarts Switches in Kamen Rider Fourze have a very similar effect to the aforementioned Gaia Memories, with the major difference being that Zodiarts Switches are Magical Space Drugs instead of Magical Earth Drugs. Lock Seeds in Kamen Rider Gaim don't have any drug-like effects with their usual use of summoning Invase Mons, but they're sold by a shady character named Sid, who dresses and behaves suspiciously like a drug dealer. It doesn't help that Sid and his superiors have an ulterior motive and specifically target kids because they're immature and don't know better. ...But for less usual uses, the drug effects become more apparent. For starters, any Invase that eats a Lock Seed goes One-Winged Angel. The Riders also use Drivers to use the Seeds' powers on themselves; and when one gets his Driver destroyed he definitely seems to be going through power withdrawal (including hallucinations). And then there's the fruit that the Seeds come from, which is supernaturally tempting and - while apparently safe for Invase to eat - causes a transformation into a mad Invase when consumed by humans. |

Animorphs, maple and ginger instant oatmeal is highly addictive to the Yeerks, unfortunately it also permanently removes their need to leave their hosts to feed, and drives them insane, although it does also weaken their ability to control the host's body. | |

Dinosaurs: The show has an episode about thornoids, which are sentient drugs meant to increase strength and muscles size, but have side-effect of growing thorns. Another episode focuses on Robbie and Spike happening upon a plant in the forest which they eat, and become high. Robbie brings it back home and soon Earl and Charlene get high on it, and Earl brings it to work where everyone there eats it too — including his boss Mr. Richfield — and they're in a marijuana-like high for most of the episode, eventually running out of food in the house. In the end, they go back to the forest to find more of the plant, only to find Spike — who never left where he was — covered in dirt and leaves after just being high in the forest for a week. Robbie then lampshades this by breaking the fourth wall and telling the audience that drugs are bad because drug use compels sitcoms like Dinosaurs to do obligatory drug-PSA episodes like this one. |

Fraggle Rock had "Wembley's Wonderful Whoopee Water," which, based on the description, was basically a clear caffeinated soda. Unusually, the episode that featured it was NOT about drugs, but a Green Aesop; it was procuring the whoopee water that was dangerous, not its use. | |

Odd Squad: In place of more adult beverages like beer and wine, Oprah drinks juice. Her daily intake tops one thousand juice boxes a day before she decides to cut back to one hundred. In "Xs and Os", she goes through withdrawal symptoms after weaning off of juice to save money due to overspending, to the point where she becomes a Technically-Living Zombie and needs only a single juice box from Otis to return to normal. The liquid seems to be alcoholic only to her, as other characters are shown drinking juice without getting drunk off of it, whether it's due to them being able to withstand its effects or otherwise. | |

Sliders: In an episode, the main characters slide into a Prohibition-like world, where caffeine has taken the place of alcohol. Along with the clothing and music styles of the 20s, they also got speakeasies, where coffee is sold in tiny bags for $5 each, gangsters, and corrupt cops. Another episode has the opposite: a world where there are no illegal drugs, and being an addict is mandatory. Cops walk around with tranq guns to calm down those who have gone off meds, until they can get an implant that allows easy injections directly into the bloodstream. |

Upon returning from the ruins of old Aperture in Portal 2, GLaDOS explains that the system that allows the core AI to maintain the facility is embedded with a function that gives the AI a jolt of euphoria upon a test subject completing a test. She's explaining this because she's currently not the one running the testing. Rather a Too Dumb to Live personality core named "Wheatley" is due to some shenanigans earlier in the story. Wheatley initially responds positively to the euphoric state but quickly starts becoming tolerant, which GLaDOS says is inevitable and the only way she managed to keep from continually craving the sense was because she enjoyed the testing for the sake of science. Without the secondary motivation, Wheatley becomes more ravenous and incensed to see tests completed like an addict needing a new high. | |

Heavy Rain has Norman Jayden, an FBI agent with a Boston accent that comes in and out from line to line and a powerful addiction to blue luminescent powders, even more over the top in the end because it's hard to know what's coming from the drugs/withdrawal, his magic sunglasses from the future or the way he himself seems a bit unhinged to begin with. The addiction is treated as something akin to an addiction to painkillers, since he takes the medication to stave off the side effects of using his future police glasses (which include blinding headaches, nausea, and occasional loss of basic motor functions). Throughout the whole game he walks a fine line between using the glasses too much and taking too much medication to compensate. There is actually at least one instance where the player can make the choice to press on with the case (and risk further damage to Nahman's system) or to quit and save him the trouble (at which point the player switches to another one of the playable characters). Though the ARI (afformentioned future-glasses) are actually capable of permanent damage. Three endings illustrate this. Two of these are more permanent than the third. It has these effects even on people who have never used it. Norman has 20 thousand points in an ongoing game of VR pong. |

There was an entire series of commercials in the 80s/early 90s about people having increasingly agitated monologues about how unfair it is that some circumstances prevented them from getting their morning bowl of Corn Pops, while the theme from Jaws played in the background. Surprisingly, these commercials were made by Kellogg's with the implication that the cereal was just that good, ignoring the implications that people who can't get Corn Pops act like junkies going into withdrawal. | |

El Indio in For a Few Dollars More smokes what is presumably marijuana, but it's never mentioned exactly what it is. There's a few points where we see him so stoned he falls asleep with his eyes open or ends up giggling uncontrollably, but other than that the film deliberately makes it unclear whether Indio's psychotic behavior is caused by the drugs, or whether he's actually medicating a mental illness with them and without them he'd be even worse. (The fact that he twitchily requests joints from his underlings after killing people for trivial reasons supports this interpretation). Presumably, the intention was to placate Moral Guardians in America, without ending up in the Reefer Madness hysteria school by claiming weed will turn you into a bipolar rapist. | |

Judge Dredd parodies this trope several times. In "The Comic Pusher", with vintage comic books. Of 2000AD, at that. Another couple stories center on Umpty, candy that tastes so good it causes cravings. Overlaps as Fantastic Drug. Finally, genuine sugar has been banned - citing numerous health reasons - and in the present of the comic counts as a hard drug. Caffine has been banned for similar reasons. |

Lock Seeds in Kamen Rider Gaim don't have any drug-like effects with their usual use of summoning Invase Mons, but they're sold by a shady character named Sid, who dresses and behaves suspiciously like a drug dealer. It doesn't help that Sid and his superiors have an ulterior motive and specifically target kids because they're immature and don't know better. ...But for less usual uses, the drug effects become more apparent. For starters, any Invase that eats a Lock Seed goes One-Winged Angel. The Riders also use Drivers to use the Seeds' powers on themselves; and when one gets his Driver destroyed he definitely seems to be going through power withdrawal (including hallucinations). And then there's the fruit that the Seeds come from, which is supernaturally tempting and - while apparently safe for Invase to eat - causes a transformation into a mad Invase when consumed by humans. |

In California Dreams they had a very special episode in which one of the girls is convinced to take steroids to qualify for an Olympic volleyball team. She's eventually found out, and has an intervention (complete with breakdown in the middle of the local teen hangout) after which it is never referred to again. | |

The later installments of Mega Man Battle Network have a variant in the form of Dark Chips. The chips are extremely powerful when used in battle, but harms the NetNavi to use them; said NetNavi becomes addicted to them with repeated use, until they are too far gone for their operator and they eventually get deleted. | |

The drug-fueled, hallucination-laden madness that is Naked Lunch (the film, at least) revolves around Lee's addiction to... extermination powder? Granted, it was meant as an indirect adaptation of the original novel, in which heroin was the culprit. | |

How I Met Your Mother plays this for laughs, having Future!Ted refer to marijuana as "sandwiches" in order to avoid outright mentioning the drug to his kids, and the live action has the characters eating sandwiches and laughing hysterically afterward. In one episode they baked a bag of "sandwiches" into brownies. There are other (intentional) logic holes too: | |

In one episode of Frasier, when the price of Beluga Caviar goes up at the local gourmet store, the Crane brothers encounter a Russian man who is willing to sell some to them at a much lower price. The plot plays outmuch like the Cranes becoming cocaine dealers for their friends, as they also rope in Roz as their runner, who gets addicted to the caviar. | |

Repo! The Genetic Opera averts this with Zydrate. The promo stuff makes it seem G-rated, but then its first appearance in the actual movie is when Grave-Robber extracts it from a corpse, and it has some pretty nightmarish effects. Towards the finale, Amber Sweet, the daughter of the owner of GeneCo, Rotti Largo, has her face fall off because of a shoddy, last-minute surgery to fix her accidentally-scarred face right before the opera. The really nightmarish thing is that she isn't screaming because she's so high off Zydrate. The nightmarish effects are because, when you're extracting it from a corpse, it's bound to be a little less than 99 44/100% pure. The official GeneCo version just seems to be a very effective (and incidentally addictive) painkiller. | |

The Gaia Memories in Kamen Rider Double give their users superpowers, but improper use results in addiction, insanity, and withdrawal symptoms. It doesn't help that people who use them are called Dopants. Don't even think about mainlining one; it will mess up your body. And may your deity of choice help you if you get an adulterated Gaia Memory from a shadier-than-usual dealer... And most Dopants only use one Memory for a VERY good reason, the only one shown to have used more than one (in fact a large number) got a VERY disturbing death. |

Season 7 episode 39 of Happy Heroes is about Lele the Funny Animal dog accidentally consuming chocolate and becoming addicted to it (unlike the real-life animal, chocolate is not poisonous to Lele's species of dog alien, though it is still strong enough to make them delirious). It eventually devolves into Big M. and Little M., both disguised as cats, secretly selling him chocolates in a suitcase. | |

The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure: Two egg-napping Struthiomimus brothers, Ozzy and Strut, treat eggs like some kind of drug. Ozzy is obsessed with eggs to the point he dedicates a Villain Song of how he loves to crack and taste the eggs in explicit details, while Strut simply wants to stick with a plant-based diet since he's starving and plants are far easier to get than eggs.note The scientific consensus on Struthiomimus's diet is that they are omnivores who mainly fed on plants rather than eggs. Ozzy, of course, bullies Strut for trying to go clean and insists they shall only eat eggs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The first season episode "Symbiosis", which featured a planet of people addicted to the narcotic "felicium" because it was a virus cure (and therefore invoking this trope) and another planet that did nothing but supply the drug even after the disease it was supposed to treat had long been eradicated, since the residents were so addicted to it. The episode "The Game" that did it with a video game that directly affected neurotransmitters in all kinds of ways and was described constantly as addictive. |
