Implied or accidental use of mind-altering substances by characters, but notably by the protagonists (villains, of course, can do anything). Usually very obvious to the attentive audience but may have to get around the censors under a different/invented name or by making the usage involuntary. Sometimes, the hallucinations are passed off as a side-effect of overconsumption of an [[I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!|otherwise legal and legitimate foodstuff]] such as sugar, ice cream, chocolate, or steak sauce.

What makes this trope generally different from [[Intoxication Ensues]] is the hallucinations and the person in question is otherwise acting normally. To them, the hallucinations are either commonplace or a mere curiosity. The narrative might jump back and forth between the hallucination and the real world to show they are holding a normal, intelligent conversation with a plant. Typically great comedic fodder with a believable setup on network television, but safer to do on cable. If it's animated, expect those affected to [[Open the Iris]].

== Anime
* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' features the [[Trope Namer]] episode "Mushroom Samba": The crew confuses "magic mushrooms" with the regular sort, with the result that Spike ends up meeting a talking frog on an endless stairway, Faye steps into the water closet/loo and ends up in the ocean with fish going by, and Jet starts talking to his bonsai plants ("I know the secrets of the Universe! Now, who am I again?"), leaving Edward and Ein to track down the crook of the week. This is after Ein has taken a small bite from one of the magic mushrooms and spent some time [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hopping around stiffly]] like a clockwork dog.

That must've been ''some'' champagne. In [[Real Life]], zoopsia (the hallucination of animals, including [[Pink Elephants]]) is a symptom of sustained alcohol abuse. Perhaps it wasn't Dumbo's first time drinking from that water tub.

* Most of the movie ''[[Altered States]]'' consists of Mushroom Sambas... but they are hardly unintentionally induced, as the main character who undergoes them is researching the very drug behind the phenomenon.
* Played straight in ''[[Labyrinth]]'', Sarah is given a "present" from Jareth - a peach which either causes her to hallucinate or actually transports her to a masquerade ball inside a crystal. There's also a possibility that the whole Labyrinth and such were hallucinated by Sarah, possibly because of a magical owl.

Also, Red once accidentally eats a "special brownie" made by the kids. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* In an episode of ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'', Randy eats hippy face lotion and begins to see everything in claymation.
* While in the Deadly Swamp in ''[[The Tenth Kingdom]]'', Virginia and Tony consume magic mushrooms (and drink swamp water, which is apparently some form of alcohol). What makes this especially amusing is its literalism: while the mushrooms don't actually dance, they do sway in time to the music and sing their consuming victims to sleep (to Procal Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale" no less!). Cue [[Dream Sequence]]. But although the mushrooms seem hell-bent on their own suicidal destruction, this is subverted by the fact that it's all a ploy by the sentient man-eating swamp to shroud its victims in vines so they can be crushed, suffocated, and eventually consumed in turn.
* ''[[Six Feet Under]]''. David stows the E tablets he received from his club-hopping boyfriend in an aspirin bottle in the family kitchen. Ruth goes camping and packs the aspirin in her first aid kit. After getting a headache she does some serious wandering around in the woods. (See also [[Intoxication Ensues]] for other repercussions.)

* In the Granada Television TV adaptations of ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' (starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes), the stories nearly always stayed very faithful to the original works. In "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot," Holmes deduces that several people have been murdered with an exotic poison unknown to British science. In order to be sure that the suspicious substance recovered from the scene of the crime is indeed the mysterious poison, he deliberately exposes himself to what he believes to be a small dose... According to the original story, terrifying hallucinations ensue. In the TV version, the hallucinations shown are actually not particularly terrifying, but Holmes is presumably experiencing far worse ones.

* In the episode "Raisin The Stakes" on ''[[Clone High]]'', an anti-drug speaker tricks the entire high school into believing that raisins are a hallucinogen. Many drug montages take place of varying degrees of weirdness. (The entire episode is a rock opera ripped off from ''The Wall'' and ''The Amazing Technocolor Dreamcoat'' with traces of ''[[Godspell]]'' and ''[[Hair (theatre)]]'' - very 60's-70's).)

** "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer": After eating some of "the Merciless Peppers of Quetzlzacatenango" at a chili cookoff, Homer starts hallucinating wildly (which Marge mistakes for Homer breaking his promise about getting drunk) and goes on a journey to find his soulmate.
{{quote|
** In another episode, Homer eats a box of ancient bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) ("I think it came with the house," comments Marge) on a dare from Bart, which causes him to have an "antacid trip" (and Bart to win $50).
** In the episode where Homer becomes a hippie, Flanders starts seeing [[The Grateful Dead
** In "Homer Loves Flanders," Homer comments that Shelbyville threatened to spike Springfield's water supply after Springfield burned down their city hall, but they didn't have the guts. Cut to Marge drinking some water in the kitchen. Sitar music suddenly plays and Marge comments that the walls are melting again. A cooked turkey pops out of the oven and flies away.
** In "Selma's Choice", Bart dares Lisa to drink some of the water from a boat ride at Duff Gardens (which is so polluted, it doesn't really look like water anymore). Once she does, she starts to hallucinate (starting with the Dutch dolls on the "Little Land of Duff" ride receding down a dark, endless hallway), becomes paranoid, tries to whack Bart and Aunt Selma with a boat oar, stumbles around the Duff Lite Parade commenting on how she can "see the music," and is found hours later after security saw her swimming naked in the Fermentarium, clad in only a towel and declaring herself, "The Lizard Queen."
** And then, when Homer starts smoking medicinal weed, he opens his bathroom's door with a 60's-style happy face, grabs a razor with a happy face, sees rainbows coming out of his beard, and then he gets on his car (with a happy face too!), under a pink sky and the smiling sun, his car takes off, and he drives
** There was also a subversion: in the chapter where Homer becomes a missionary, he starts licking hallucinogenic toads out of sheer boredom; however, the only thing we can see is his dilated pupils and his unusual reactions.
** And then there's the episode where Ned opens a Christian theme park. He erects a statue of his late wife (the park was a lifelong dream of hers), and people who stand in front of it are hit with a vision of their idea of heaven, while onlookers see them writhing on the ground speaking in tongues. Everyone thinks it's something truly spiritual, until Ned discovers a gas leak near the statue and that people were just "Getting goofy off the gas fumes."
** There's also an episode where Bart finds a twenty-dollar bill. He and Milhouse buy an "all-syrup Squishee," which causes them to hallucinate and appear drunk.
** Also, in the episode "Homerpalooza" Otto hallucinates that his shoes are talking to him.

** In "Bart Gets an Elephant", after sniffing some ammonia fumes Homer hallucinates that the cleaning mascots come to life and start dancing around causing him to laugh. Suddenly they spring out and attack him causing him to scream, Marge hears this and tells him to stop screaming so loud.
** In "Team Homer", Mr. Burns sees Homer as the Pillsbury Dough-boy while under the influence of ether, and since he's a big fan of his Homer uses this to get money for his bowling team from Mr. Burns. Burns then sees Hans Moleman as Lucky the Leprechaun, and tries to kill him and steal his brain to figure out the secret of his Lucky Charms.
** In "King of the Hill", when Homer is climbing the Murderhorn mountain, he starts feeling light-headed from the thinning atmosphere, then eventually says "Why should I climb when I can just take the escalator?" He then hallucinates that he's riding up the mountain on an escalator dressed in a suit and top hat, then leaping from peak to peak on the back of a blue mountain goat, then getting an elevator ride from the Abominable Snow-Monster from ''Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer''. Back in reality, he's actually tumbling down the mountain all cut up with a big smile on his face.

We don't get to explicitly see anything there, but the main-story of the episode is mind-trippy enough in its own right.

** The entirety of the episode "Nightmares and Daydreams". Note to people with no knowledge of why one should not stay up for three days: [[Truth in Television|sleep deprivation makes your brain self-produce DMT]]. The dreams that cause said sleep deprevation are pretty weird as well (Aang as a [[Badass Longcoat]] with [[Anime Hair]]?). The crazy comes to a head when Aang imagines that Momo, a tiny [[Team Pet]], is talking to him. This is followed by Appa, who is a giant, six-legged bison, talking along with the other characters as if it's perfectly normal, to the point where Aang ''doesn't notice.'' After Momo and Appa suddenly don Samurai garb and start fighting with swords, Aang declares his desire to dive under a cold waterfall.

* Toot, Wooldor and Xandir have one of these moments in ''[[Drawn Together]]'' by licking Ling-Ling repeatedly. They try several things to make him "dis-ap-poin-ted", but eventually get bored and simply pass him back and forth. All three of them ''truly'' freak out when Ling-Ling's bodily secretions dry up.

** The episode "Major Boobage" had Kenny getting high off cat urine and tripping out into a ''Heavy Metal''-style hallucination where there are breasts ''everywhere'' (even in the architecture!) Kyle's dad later takes a hit of cat pee, culminating in the two duking it out half-naked in a sandbox. At the end of the episode Kenny gets high on a bunch of flowers.
** All the boys (including Jimmy, Butters, and Token) take hits of cough syrup in "Quest for Ratings," assuming that the wild hallucinations are bound to give them plenty of ideas to improve their show. They certainly have fun with the hallucinations, but the only "ideas" they emerge with are some squiggly lines drawn by Stan and the ''[[Happy Days]]'' theme song as written by Kyle.

* Similar to the [[Real Life]] example below, in ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'', Anakin Skywalker gets a blast of steam in the face in a cave on Nelvaan. As a result, he starts seeing the cave paintings move. Considering how well the vision summarizes and foreshadows his own fall to the Dark Side, The Force probably assisted the lack of oxygen.

** In "Hillenium," Hank accidentally inhales some varnish while working on a grandfather clock ([[Too Dumb to Live|Hank should have known better than to close the garage door when working with chemicals that can cause hallucinations and brain damage when used frequently and in a closed space]]) and he hallucinates that he, his family members, and his hero Tom Landry are mechanical moles in a whack-a-mole game.
** In "To Kill a Ladybird" although we don't see his point of view Dale under the influence of wild mushrooms describes cartoon characters dancing around his head when he closes his eyes, that harmless animals are out to kill him, and that Hank is spewing bugs from his mouth.

* Ergot, a fungus which grows on some types of grain during wet winters... and is apparently not destroyed when baked into bread along with the rye, can have LSD-like effects (along with gangrene and/or dying). Some scholars believe that those who testified at the infamous [[Witch Hunt|Salem Witch Trials]] and similar events in Europe as having witnessed "witchcraft" and the Devil, had in fact been the result of a combination of religious fervor (i.e. they already believed demons and witches were everywhere)... and hallucinating due to eating ergot-infected rye bread. ([[It Gets Worse]]. Ergotamine is a potent vasoconstrictor and can cause necrosis in the fingers and toes.)
** It should be noted that Albert Hoffman was in fact researching ergot when he discovered LSD.
