== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The Doctor of ''[[The Authority]]'' might qualify. Not sure if the drugs enhanced his powers or if he was just a particularly powerful junkie, though...
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* Interesting version in ''[[Misfits]]''; Curtis normally has [[Mental Time Travel]] abilities which only work [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong|backwards]], but a power-reversing [[Fantastic Drug]] gives him a vision of the future.
* ''[[Dragnet]]'' had an episode called, you guessed it, 'The Prophet', which featured an LSD user and his 'Temple of the Expanded Mind'.
== [[Video Games]] ==▼
* ''[[Fallout 4]]'' has Mama Murphy, a fortune teller whose power – according to her, at least – is fuelled by chems.▼
== [[Western Animation]] ==▼
* Meatwad, from ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'', begins to give out predictions in a Godly monotone, like Frylock exploding (from his point of view - it really was someone leaving a grenade on their porch after Frylock opened the door, which only irritated Frylock). Turns out, he got visions from eating glue.▼
== [[Real Life]] ==
Line 41 ⟶ 46:
* [[Philip K. Dick]] went through some pretty strange epiphanies after a heroic dosage of sodium pentothal. See [https://web.archive.org/web/20100925024414/http://www.philipkdickfans.com/weirdo/weirdo1.htm The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick] (illustrated by Robert Crumb for a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]).
* [[wikipedia:Timothy Leary|Dr. Timothy Leary]] is a Real Life example from the Hippie Era. He coined the phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out" and was a major promoter of the spiritual use of LSD. His advocates included many 60s/70s counterculture icons, including [[The Beatles]].
