Made on Drugs: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

A work which is subject to this trope was made, at least in part, under the influence of drugs stronger than caffeine.<ref>Quite honestly, if we included caffeine, we'd have to list just about ''every'' work created in the West for the last couple hundred years, and for several centuries further back in the East.</ref> Ironically, a work subject to this trope doesn't necessarily ''look'' like it was written on drugs, and [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|some works that ''do'', weren't]].

In order for a work to qualify for this trope, the creator has to be ''known'' to have created at least part of it while ingesting mind-altering substances, or when inspired by an experience had under their influence. Usually this requires [[Word of God]] or his close associates<ref>Secondhand sources are better than none.</ref>; simple speculation or "everyone knows" opinions will ''not'' be sufficient to justify the use of this trope. Citations and other evidence are, while not mandatory, ''strongly'' encouraged. Examples should include specific works and specific drugs (where known); just putting down something like "(Band name) were known to take LSD" is a [[Zero Context Example]] and will be subject to deletion.

In order for a work to qualify for this trope, the creator has to be ''known'' to have created at least part of it while ingesting mind-altering substances, or when inspired by an experience had under their influence. (Sleep deprivation may cause similar effects, but does not count for the purpose of this trope.)

Also, when a creator ''denies'' having used drugs when creating a certain work, ''we take their word on it.''
