Line 14:
* Johnny Depp's character in the film version of ''[[From Hell]]'' has opium-induced psychic visions.
* The Precogs or "Oracles" of ''[[Minority Report]]'' only have premonitions while sleeping, so they kept on heavy doses of drugs so that they're in a perpetual sleepy trance.
** Also exists in the backstory-- manybackstory—many Precogs are the children of drug addicts, their powers arising from their parents' experiments with new strains of narcotics at the time of conception/during pregnancy.
* ''~Scotland, PA~'' (a [[Setting Update|modernized adaptation]] of ''[[Macbeth]]'') had the three witches portrayed as stoned bohemians.
* [[Dakota Fanning]] in ''[[Push]]'' uses alcohol to increase her abilities as a Watcher. The catch? She's 12.
* In the Western ''[[The Hallelujah Trail]]'', Donald Pleasence plays "Oracle" (of course), who's able to prophesy with the help of a taste of booze. The catch is that liquor is in short supply in his small town, and he's prophesying about the arrival of a shipment -- andshipment—and how they need to make sure the Indians don't steal it or the temperance workers destroy it. Notably, every time he takes a drink, a heavenly chorus is heard just before he speaks.
