* The Level Upper in ''[[ToA AruCertain Kagaku noScientific Railgun]]'' is a sound file that amplifies the powers of any esper that listens to it. However, it comes with the side-effect of causing its users to collapse into a coma. It's distributed illegally throughout Academy City by shady people and it's generally treated as if it were a deadly drug.
* 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 totally removed, and the resulting trip was changed from a drug-induced hallucination into a psychotic hallucination.
 
Line 27:
* In the less than mediocre ''[[Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000]]'', there's "Zoom Gas." The antagonists flood their cockpit with it then start acting all giddy and driving at absurd speeds. Hmmm....
* In ''[[The Smurfs (film)|The Smurfs]]'', Grouchy has a scene in which he overindulges in M&M's and [[In Vino Veritas|has a "candid" conversation]] with a green M&M plushie.
* In ''[[Willy's Wonderland]]'', the Janitor frequently takes a break from fighting the monsters to have a soda and use a pinball machine - by the third act of the movie, it seems like he's starting to get a rush from playing the game - hard to tell, [[Heroic Mime| seeing as he never talks]].

Line 48 ⟶ 49:
* ''[[The Young Ones]]'': "Vyv - can you actually, like, kill yourself with laxative pills?"
** What do you think Cholera does?
* [[Stephen Colbert]]'s painkiller addiction on ''[[The Colbert Report]]'', which lasted for the duration of [[Written in-In Infirmity|the actor's wrist injury]]. The broken wrist [[Real Life Writes the Plot|was real]]; the painkillers were SweetTarts.
* [[Averted Trope|Averted]] (as you might expect) in ''[[It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia|Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia]]'', where Dennis and Dee intentionally get addicted to crack.
* ''[[NCIS]]'': Abby and her Caf-Pow! It's definitely treated like a coffee addiction, there's episodes of her trying to quit and episodes that mention that she drinks '''a lot''' of Caf-Pow.

Line 96 ⟶ 97:
* ''[[Amazing Super Powers]]'' [http://www.amazingsuperpowers.com/2007/12/a-bear-in-the-woods/ found someone's lampshade].
* As mentioned above, [[Schlock Mercenary|Sergeant Schlock]] is addicted to Ovalkwik mix, which he eats directly from the can - although the [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-02-25 ingredient statement] suggests it might not be so G-rated, containing among other things nicotine, codeine, and something called "hyper-ephedrine."
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130219014402/http://hiddendepths.smackjeeves.com/comics/1358315/004-charmander/ Rare Candy, Zinc, Carbos, etc.] in ''151 Hidden Depths''.

Line 117 ⟶ 118:
* There was an episode of ''[[Static Shock]]'' featuring a Bang Baby with the ability to give other people super powers temporarily...at the price of not telling anyone where they got them, of course; oh, and they have to steal stuff for him. Well, if you want to get high—I mean, get super powers...
* In one episode of [[The Powerpuff Girls]], Mojo Jojo offers 4 kids Chemical X-induced, temporary superpowers.It's also implied that Mojo put something in the Chemical X to make them do anything to get more of it.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]''
** In ''[[The Simpsons]]''the episode "My Sister, My Sitter", the Comic Book Guy is at Dr. Nick's clinic after overdosing on cheeseburgers, brought there by a Krusty Burger clerk using a wheelbarrow. "Ooh, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix!" he groans.
** Ahem, Maggie's pacifier. As seen in "And Maggie Makes Three", she started this habit about a minute after she was born.
* Crystal Twist from ''[[COPS (animation)|COPS]]''.
* There was an episode of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' which depicts Bart as addicted to Focusyn, which seems to be a stand-in for Ritalin until the end of the episode where Marge says she's getting Bart off of Focusyn... and back on Ritalin.
Line 138 ⟶ 141:
* ''[[The Smoggies]]'' had purple silly sauce, which was a G-Rated Drug powerful enough to contaminate an entire eco system and cause whomever came into contact with it to involuntarily sing and dance perpetually, even in diluted amounts. The song they would sing, "The Purple Rag" was an [[Ear Worm]] as well as being a state of [[And I Must Scream]].
* Mac on ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' gets hyperactive when he eats sugar. In an episode where Bloo throws a massive rave at Foster's, Mac unwittingly ingests sugar, then proceeds to go through a climbing-the-walls-nude drug trip from the effects. The post-rush withdrawal reduces him to a shivering wreck that's equal parts jonesing junkie and Gollum parody.
* [[Beavis and ButtheadButt-Head|Beavis']] alternate persona, The Great Cornholio, is created due to a large consumption of caffeine. One episode had Beavis having a sugar crash and was given a powerful cappuccino to keep going (he was in a poetry night thing. Don't ask) and, in the movie, he downs a number of caffeine pills after a well-meaning old woman gives him some to help him (first to help with airsickness, the second after the bus driver kicks his ass).
* In ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', motor oil is treated like beer/alcohol, with [[Those Two Guys]] Mixmaster and Scrapper being especially fond of it.
** In ''[[Transformers Prime]]'', {{spoiler|Ratchet creates Synthetic Energon and then injects himself with it, causing him to gain immense strength, but renders his mind unstable, making him aggressive and incredibly arrogant.}}
Line 145 ⟶ 148:
* ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' gives us Monterey Jack, whose cheese-addiction is often played like this.
* The ''[[Double Dragon]]'' cartoon series, notable for having an ''Aesop'' at the end of every episode, had an episode that focused on the Shadow Master producing a designer drug, known as Euphoria, which basically turned users into wide-eyed, green-eyed zombified people. Presumably in attempt to avoid portraying real drug abuse methods, the green liquid Euphoria was not ingested nor injected, but rather poured onto bare skin, though it was often applied this way to the forearm.
* In the episode of ''[[X-Men (animation)|X-Men]]'' where Mojo was the villain, he constantly drank from a flask of pink liquid. Given how obese and unpleasant Mojo is, this seemed to imply he was drinking Pepto Bismal right out of the bottle.
