Line 17:
As the [[Real Life]] section shows, this is a [[Don't Try This At Home|VERY bad idea]] in [[Real Life]], regardless of the legality or illegality of the substance in question. It ignores the concepts of "set and setting" that are essential to any ''good'' experience with a substance and essential to avoiding doing things - like driving or interacting with police for example - that could lead to a very dangerous situation, may induce fear and terror in someone who ''does not know'' what is happening to them - which is almost a guaranteed recipe for a "bad trip" with some drugs and for a generally bad day with everything. Finally, with some drugs (everything from alcohol to ecstasy and sedatives) this can set someone up for [[Date Rape]].

{{quote|"Marijuana is illegal in the United States, yes, even when baked into a blueberry muffin, that someone might mistakenly eat for breakfast, before leaving for their job as a TV newscaster. 'This just in, look at my hand, how weird is my hand?' is not an appropriate thing to say on the air."}}
** At the end of the episode 'Hooked', Barney takes some of the 'purple pills' the pharmacy girls left behind and ends up saying really random things to Ted and Robin and possibly hallucinating; obviously high.
** It's somewhat of a tradition for Ted, Marshall, and Lily to get high on marijuana together (although Future!Ted insists they were just eating "sandwiches"), leading to a truly ''epic'' instance of this in "Tick Tick Tick", where Ted and Marshall have to make an attempt to go get nachos for Lily while high at a concert, which in their state, seems to them to be a massive, dangerous, bewildering, surreal quest of [[The Lord of the Rings]] proportions, although in reality they were only wandering around for two minutes.
* ''[[My Family]]'' had a joint {{spoiler|that actually turned out to be made of cinnamon and oregano powered by the placebo effect}} shared by Ben and Susan. Effects range from [[Lethal Chef|Susan]] overcoming her habitual mental block as to how horrible her cooking is, Ben correcting the lyrics to Jimi Hendrix songs at the top of his voice, and the immortal phrase (on an egg-smashing demonstration of "this is your brain on drugs") "She's killed our brain!"
* ''[[Dead Like Me]]'', "Reapercussions." Mason starts smuggling drugs as a mule to raise cash... but the balloon breaks. Since he's a reaper, the overdose won't kill him, but he still spends most of the rest of the episode complaining about how he can't feel his arms, freaking out, and talking about ''The Crying Game''.
