** One of the incentives to climb the status and security clearance ladder is that higher clearance levels has far less forced drugs. Just coming out of that Infra-red haze upon gaining Red clearance is a major wakeup. The food's better, too.

*** Curiously, the second edition rulebook (and maybe some others) indicates that Friend Computer often provides ''more'' drugs as a bonus to particularly successful Troubleshooters (although in the context of ''Paranoia'', a "successful Troubleshooter" is the one whose [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] is most pronounced). Meaning that when the PURGEr comes to assassinate you for PURGE, our heroic Troubleshooter's reaction goes "You're pointing a gun at me. Cool."

* In ''[[Aberrant]]'', all newly erupted novas (people with superpowers) are secretly fed sterility drugs along with the drugs given to help them control their powers in order to prevent the breeding of a superpowered race.

* Happens from time to time in ''[[Warhammer 40,000|Warhammer 40K]]''. Combat Stimulants range from being allowed to encouraged to mandated by law, depending on your regiment. It's mentioned that several of the [[Death World|less pleasant planets]] and [[Crapsack World|more brutal regimes]] tend to (subtly or otherwise) drug their citizens to prevent [[Driven to Suicide|drastic self-inflicted population reductions]]. The [[Space Marines]] don't even count, since 2/3 of their drug programs exist simply to make sure that their genetically-modified and cybernetically-enhanced bodies don't just go haywire shut down.
