Marijuana is one of the less potent psychoactive drugs. It causes euphoria, thirst, hunger, and occasionally lethargy or paranoia, and it can also cause your thought processes to become one long string of Fridge Logic and/or Fridge Brilliant moments (which may or may not be remembered once the effects wear off). It also takes a little while to get used to it—often, people doing it their first time don't feel any effects at all. Even very high doses won't cause hallucinations in 99% of the population.
You wouldn't know that from the movies, though.
Dean Bitterman or the Doting Parent is tricked or cajoled into smoking up, or more likely eating a pot brownie. Five minutes later, they're riding a unicorn through a rainbow in slow-motion, or arguing with the plants, or being chased by musical notes in time to the background music. Expect to hear Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" or "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. It's almost as if they've taken a powerful hallucinogen. Yes, in their universe, marijuana is LSD.
It is worth mentioning that large doses of marijuana can produce hallucinations in some people. The array of effects experienced from any dose vary considerably from person to person, and from one strain of the plant to another. Research into the former effect may be partly responsible for the myth, along with journalists that ignored how large a dose the "psychonauts" used and what counts as a hallucination to experimental psychologists. Also, even those who regularly smoke cannabis may experience unexpectedly strong effects when vaporizing it, which is a more efficient method of administration. When eating it, it can take a long time to kick in, so a common mistake is to eat too much because it seems to have little effect - only to find oneself extremely inebriated for half a day when the full effects come on. Such an overdose can cause visual and auditory hallucinations, but those are not enjoyable at all and are often combined with panic attacks, nausea and so forth. Hallucinations remain unlikely, but judgement and driving will be impaired. A person who has consumed enough marijuana to experience hallucinations is unlikely to be able to walk on two feet, let alone drive, so anyone who would have consumed it unwittingly would have called an ambulance at this point and would not go on a wacky drug-fueled adventure.
It's a matter of debate whether second-hand marijuana smoke has any real effects (sometimes referred to as a "contact high"), beyond giving some people a splitting headache and nausea from the smell. Contact highs do occasionally turn up in fiction, usually in the context of someone being exposed to pot for a long period of time in an enclosed space like a vehicle.
May be a case of research failure, especially in older works. Seldom played straight in recent decades, but there are exceptions. Often overlaps with Scare 'Em Straight. Subtrope of Artistic License – Botany and G-Rated Drug.
Another cause of this trope may be that the medium lacks the ability to portray intoxication from a first-person perspective accurately while also not making the intoxication seem much less powerful than it is. There are many drugs that have subtle and/or mild visual or auditory effects, if any at all, making it very difficult to portray the severity of a high dose accurately. It can sometimes help to think of the effects as metaphors.
With marijuana use becoming more accepted by the general public and its real effects therefore becoming more widely known, this is on its way to becoming a Dead Horse Trope.
This page also covers the use of exaggerated or inaccurate effects in other drugs. Examples which involve alcohol may also fall under Pink Elephants.

In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas the speaker at the drug conference seems to have no idea of what pot actually does. Much lampshaded by Duke and Dr. Gonzo, who are quite familiar with several different drugs.

In Clone High, raisins are like LSD... ON ACID! It's eventually revealed that this was just Extreme Advertising by Jack Black (who works for the California Raisins) trying to sell raisins to teens, and that all their insane trip-outs were all in their heads. Save for Gandhi who actually shows up in real life riding the stereotypical Australian dragon Daniel Feldspar.

Reefer Madness, in which marijuana is like acid laced with speed. Not surprising given that it's an anti-marijuana propaganda piece. This is kept in The Musical remake, although now all exaggerations are played purely for laughs, including a full-blown animated musical number about "My Brownie".

According to the Decoy episode "Saturday Lost," marijuana makes you hallucinate vividly, experience such extreme time dilation that 110 mph feels like a standstill, and possibly develop temporary amnesia, all while speaking in pseudo-poetic nonsense.

In the opening of an episode of House, the soon-to-be patient of the week is a priest who hears a knock at his door. When he answers, he sees a floating Jesus complete with stigmata and crown of thorns. Later in the episode Dr. Hatley chalks this up to the single highball of liquor the man consumed just before.

In Party Down, Roman eats multiple pot brownies without realizing they're laced. He curls up in the bathroom and calls for an ambulance, because he is either dead or soon will be. After the paramedics show up, the hippie fellow who baked the brownies leads Roman on a journey to meet his spirit animal and Roman writes a screenplay (on the toilet paper). The paramedics take him to the hospital, not because he's overdosing on pot, but because they've never seen anyone that high before and want to show the nurses.
And strangely enough, about 75% justified. Party Down is pretty good about portraying drugs realistically and it's specifically mentioned that Roman ingested about a tenth of an ounce of high-grade marijuana. For someone not accustomed to the effects of marijuana, eating that much certainly could make one feel as if they were going out of their mind. The other 25% is Rule of Funny.

The Simpsons:
In "Weekend At Burnsie's", Homer is given medical marijuana for his eye injuries. He sees a number of Beatles-esque hallucinations, mostly everything smiling at him (including his razor) and any flowing liquid (like his blood from cutting himself shaving) as rainbows.
In "The Good, The Sad, And The Drugly", Lisa becomes completely stoned and begins hallucinating smiley faces everywhere, culminating in her almost making out with an electric fan. Her drug of choice? Anti-depressants.
However, this is averted in the episode "Highway to Well", where Marge takes some of the marijuana she had been selling and experiences a more realistic effect where she finds herself in a panicked state with weird sensations and vision Depth of Field issues.

In Grand Theft Auto V, there is a "Freaks" mission that Michael can take on where he comes across a man trying to get marijuana legalized in San Andreas, and keeps insisting Michael, a man who typically only smokes cigars, to try his "home grown" joint. Upon reluctantly doing so, Michael suddenly goes into a bad trip where he is shooting aliens with a minigun (which is fully playable). After the trip ends Michael tells the marijuana guy to screw off and says he'll never try a joint ever again. Trevor is also offered a joint, and after initially refusing because weed "interferes with the speed" already in his system, has a similar trip, only with clowns instead of aliens. Franklin however is unaffected since he's already a habitual pot smoker. Somewhat averted, however, in that it is clearly indicated (by the more experienced Franklin) that the pot in question has been doctored in some fashion (but one must play the optional mission in order to find this out), as Michael can take a hit from his son's bong and get a more mundane high.

In Community, the pill Star-Burns gives Pierce during a Halloween party has Pierce acting like he's rolling on ecstasy... then he starts hallucinating Annie making cracks about his age as talking calaveras fly around. That he was also mixing this with his regular prescriptions (of which he had lost track and was taking random doses) probably contributed.

Averted and parodied in King of the Hill, when Hank accidentally smokes a joint ("Pretty funny lookin' cigarette.") but feels no genuine ill biological effects. Hank is so familiar with this trope that he naturally assumes that the drug has transformed him into a crazed maniac and caused him to black out (in actuality, his "blackout" was just a much-needed nap).
Played with in another episode that featured two typical stoner kids who run a headshop. They have a more realistic reaction to weed where they're just very relaxed and giggle a lot. However their POV gets a little "trippy" after listening to Hank talk while high.

On My Name Is Earl, Earl and Randy recall how during a Heat Wave some years ago, they gradually cleaned out a man named Woody, who was too stoned out of his gourd to notice any of his stuff missing. When he saw them in his living room, he thought they were his friends, and he even offered them some weed (which they accepted to maintain the illusion). But they ended up hallucinating and having a bad experience.
In another episode, Earl's mom gets a contact high from a neurotic stoner smoking in the bathroom (which came through the vents). She thinks she's a kite, and ends up cutting her hair.

Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue: Even though the special sort of acknowledges that crack is a more "serious" drug than marijuana, it still sort of treats all drugs as the same and suggests that if Michael (the main character) kept smoking weed, he'd have a zombie-like appearance and would have psychedelic effects in his brain. While being stoned can make you space out or look a bit out-of-it, it doesn't generally have effects that extreme.

Spike lights up a joint in the final episode of the PONY.MOV series, which turns the fight between Rainbow Dash and Discord into something from the Yellow Submarine. Since this is the only time in the series smoking marijuana does this, one can chalk it up to Rule of Funny, that Spike slipped something extra into the joint, or that Hot Diggedy Demon was parodying this trope.

Friday sort of touches on it; when Craig gets high, aside from the mellow feeling, fits of giggling and occasional paranoia, he also sees double and/or gets blurry trails, sounds tend to echo, and he hallucinates at least twice, once with Big Worm's head appearing to talk to him in a cupboard. He's also smoking the stuff used by a guy whose NAME is Smokey, and for good reason. In fact the only time Smokey even looks affected is in a flashback, when he smokes a joint laced with angel dust.

Parodied in an episode of Taxi, which features a flashback to Reverend Jim's college days, where he is a straight-arrow book-grinding nerd named James Caldwell. He gets talked into eating a marijuana-laced brownie: one bite, and his expression instantly (and hilariously) dissolves into Reverend Jim's crazed bug-eyed stare.

Dumbo's drunk sequence looks like this to many modern audiences, but it's actually just Pink Elephants made literal.

Uniquely reversed by Skidoo: The film's climax involves spiking the food supply of a prison with LSD as part of an escape plan. However, only one member of the cast or crew had actually had any experience with the drug (Groucho Marx's final film credit), and they weren't anywhere near that sequence. So, lacking any sort of direction, everyone settled for either acting drunk, or trying to compensate with volume. How they got Timothy Leary to endorse that is a mystery.

Justified in one case of Case Closed, where the marijuana that drove a manor full of society elites into a murderous frenzy is said to have been laced with something far more dangerous.

The Room (2003): In a scene recalling Reefer Madness, normally cool-headed Mark becomes uncharacteristically violent and belligerent after taking a couple hits from a joint, holding a supporting character against the edge of a rooftop. Fits in with the recurring theme of the film that Drugs Are Bad.

Paul: Parodied in one scene where Paul offers everyone "the stuff that killed Dylan''. Ruth takes one hit and does a one-minute montage of all the stereotypical druggie behaviors imaginable, one after the other. Then she falls asleep. Nobody else is affected like that.

The Littles episode "Prescription for Disaster" does this with prescription painkillers. Our main characters visit a friend's home who lives behind the walls of a little girl whose mother is addicted to the drug, causing her to feel low-energy and irritable toward her daughter, which are fairly realistic side effects. However, Dinky accidentally gets a taste of the drug and starts hallucinating as if he were on acid. Perhaps a Little would experience different side effects from humans?

Dogma: After being teleported from the woods to a ritzy hotel, Jay tells Silent Bob that the weed has kicked in. Strangely enough, this trope is also subverted from an earlier scene where Loki gets high with Jay and Silent Bob and exhibits normal symptoms, those being confusion and slow thinking.

In Empath: The Luckiest Smurf, smurfnip is treated like marijuana with this trope. Notably in "Smurfnip Madness", Smurfette's hallucinations while under the influence include seeing Vexy and Hackus from The Smurfs 2. Also in the story, Handy created a special pair of glasses that simulate the visual effects of being under the influence of smurfnip. In "A Haunted Christmas", Nabby eats his stash of smurfnip during a village famine and starts having Meat-O-Vision. Mostly averted in "The New Shop In The Village", since at the time Empath as the new Smurf Village leader has legalized smurfnip, a new strain of the plant has been developed that produces only the high, without the hallucinations.

Inverted in Sam & Max Season 2: Moai Better Blues, where basalt is said to make Moai 'turn on, tune in and drop out' (a phrase associated with LSD). If you feed one of the Moai basalt, he claims that he's hallucinating, but otherwise just acts giggly and stoned. He also exhales stone dust in a way that looks like smoke, Sam jokingly calls him 'Cheech', and Max teases him for being a lightweight by not holding it in for more than a few seconds. Obviously this is justifiable, though.

South Park:
There's an episode where Mr. Mackey — of "Drugs Are Bad, m'kay?" fame — is finally convinced to try mari-jou-wanna. Mackey frolicked around and a few of the objects in the alley he was in changed into bright neon colors. Later, when convinced into taking LSD, his head becomes a free-floating children's balloon. Interestingly, Mr. Garrison averts this when he's seen smoking marijuana. He's simply seen mellowed out and giggling at a cartoon.
Another episode features men in town deliberately getting testicular cancer (by putting their balls in the microwave) in order to be able to legally buy marijuana from the local seller. The same episode had the local KFC restaurant shut down, resulting in all the kids going into KFC withdrawal and Cartman running a KFC ring by importing take-out from another town. Naturally, Status Quo Is God, and the marijuana store once again becomes a KFC restaurant at the end. Interestingly, the episode doesn't really show any ill effects from the drug. Instead, it's the length that the men go through in order to be able to buy it that is over-the-top.
In a more recent special, Randy has to smoke a specific strain of weed in order to become Karren. When he does so, he starts to perform a bunch of Dr.Stange like magical effects, only for the camera to shift to Stan's perspective and it's all Randy's head.

Touch of Evil treats marijuana as just about the most dangerous drug out there. Heroin gets a brief mention, sure, but it's the "reefer sticks" planted on Suzy that are seen as the real damning evidence, and when she's told some people are high on pot, she takes immediately takes it as a sign that they're dangerous. And even the criminals who deal marijuana are careful about not using it themselves, saying no one in their family "gets hooked" on the stuff.

In Family Guy, the episode where Peter and Lois had a band. They used Marijuana as the group's muse and it doesn't take much to get them completely baked, rolling on the floor and moaning nonsense (while thinking that they were singing a great song while unicorns danced in the background). They had similar trips throughout the episode, another of which involved them licking Chris under the hallucination that he was a sundae. Averted in the series' pot-centric episode, "420."

In Breaking Bad, Jesse sees two men in white shirts who want to talk to him about Jesus as hulking, leather-clad thugs with machetes and hand grenades after smoking methamphetamine. Justified, since he could have gone for a long period without sleep or began to suffer from stimulant psychosis, both of which are meth-related issues that cause hallucinations. Alternately, it could have just been a visual representation of meth-induced paranoia.

There's an episode of Frasier which simultaneously averts and parodies this—Martin eats a hash brownie, not realizing what it is, realizes he's stoned after a short period of time, and then starts to think he's hallucinating when he sees a video in which Eddie, the dog, appears to be speaking. However, he's not hallucinating: the video is actually a mock-up commercial, introduced in another subplot, which overdubs Eddie with his mouth moving with Frasier's voice.
Martin spends most of his "trip" thinking he feels strange because of the cough syrup he took that morning. There is a brand of cough syrup well known for mild LSD-like effects.
In the same episode, Niles ate a normal brownie which he thought was a hash-brownie and started showing the symptoms of being stoned at once until he was made aware of the mistake, at which point he instantly began acting normally again.

Half Baked uses this trope, but at least it only seems to apply to the really good shit Thurgood gets from the government lab. It also is so good that other people can see your hallucinations too.
Played straight and subverted when the gang gets stoned for the first time as children. Kenny has the only normal reaction by becoming extremely thirsty and swims in a soda machine. The others exhibit this trope- Brian experiences auditory hallucinations by saying that he can hear Jerry Garcia playing music, Scarface just zones out but a comic book character appears behind him saying "He's feeling it!", and Thurgood finds an impossibly large bar of taffy that is as large as he is. Could be justified as they are only kids and this is their first experience.
