'''Paramedic''': ''[incredulously]'' Did you ''really'' take cannabis?|''[[The Inbetweeners]]''}}
 
Marijuana is one of the less potent psychoactive drugs. It causes euphoria, thirst, hunger and occasionally paranoia, and it can also cause your thought processes to become one long string of [[Fridge Logic]] and/or [[Fridge Brilliance]] moments (which may or may not be remembered once the effects wear off). It also takes a little while to get used to it--oftenit—often, people doing it their first time don't feel any effects at all. Even very high doses won't cause hallucinations in 99% of the population.
 
You wouldn't know that from the movies, though.
Line 37:
* Used and then Justified in ''[[Training Day]]'', the marijuana was laced with PCP.
* Inverted in ''[[The Men Who Stare at Goats]]'', in which a bunch of people drink water laced with high amounts of LSD, but for the most part just act like mellow, happy stoners.
* ''[[Class of Nuke 'Em High]]'' has an excuse for this--thethis—the marijuana was grown [[I Love Nuclear Power|next to the nuclear power plant]].
* ''[[Half Baked]]'' uses this trope, but at least it only seems to apply to the ''really good shit'' Thurgood gets from the government lab. Semi-justified in that it is so good that other people can see your hallucinations too.
* ''[[Eurotrip]]'' had the group visit Amsterdam. During a visit to the bakery, they started hallucinating wildly only to be snapped back when told by the waiter that they were eating just regular brownies.
Line 46:
== [[Literature]] ==
 
* According to ''Doctor Wood, Modern Wizard of the Laboratory'', Robert Wood (patron saint of [[Education Through Pyrotechnics]]) in his youth once tested whether it's true that cannabis is hallucinogenic ''when ingested''--for—for the sake of experiment and because, well, there weren't any reports of fatal poisoning or something. It was. Most memorable scenes of this <s>trip report</s> "experiment summary" involved turning into a fox whose eyes were inside the mouth and being scared shitless by a two-faced doll.
** As if he'd never heard of a pot brownie.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
 
* There's an episode of ''[[Frasier]]'' which parodies this--Martinthis—Martin eats a hash brownie, not realising what it is, realises he's stoned after a short period of time, and then starts to ''think'' he's hallucinating when he sees a video in which Eddie, the dog, appears to be speaking. The video is actually a mock-up commercial, introduced in another subplot, that overdubs Eddie with his mouth moving with Frasier's voice.
** Martin spends most of his "trip" thinking he feels strange because of the cough syrup he took that morning. There ''is'' a brand of cough syrup well known for mild LSD-like effects.
** In the same episode, Niles ate a normal brownie which he thought was a hash-brownie and started showing the symptoms of being stoned at once until he was made aware of the mistake, at which point he instantly "sobered-up".
Line 84:
* In ''[[Clone High]]'', ''raisins'' are like LSD...[[Shaped Like Itself|ON ACID]]!
* In ''[[Family Guy]]'', the episode where Peter and Lois had a band. They used Marijuana as the group's muse and it doesn't take much to get them completely baked, rolling on the floor and moaning nonsense (while thinking that they were singing a great song while unicorns danced in the background). They had similar trips throughout out the episode, another of which involved them licking Chris under the hallucination that he was a sundae. (To be fair, though, the "incoherent off-key rambling mistaken for fantastic singing" effect it had on their talent show performance is a pretty accurate depiction.) [[Averted Trope|Averted]] in the series' pot-centric episode, "420."
* In an episode of ''[[South Park]]';, Mr. Mackey -- ofMackey—of "[[Drugs Are Bad]], m'kay?" fame -- isfame—is finally convinced to try mari-jou-wanna. His head becomes a free-floating children's balloon.
