Line 6:
There are works that some of the fandom will insist are more entertaining, or make more sense, if you're watching/reading/listening to/playing it while under the influence of a mind altering substance; be it alcohol, pot, acid, mushrooms, ecstasy, or whatever, man. While some people may say every work is better, but in general, there seems to be a select group of works that are claimed to be this way.
This usually happens with works [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|supposedly made when the creators were under the influence of the same substances]] regardless of their actual sobriety. Most often it's [[Stoner Flick
Whether or not the creators intentionally make it this way varies, as will whether or not [[Word of God|they admit to it]] for several reasons. Doing so can lead to backlash from [[Moral Guardians]] and can cause problems for people under [[Contractual Purity]] because [[Drugs Are Bad]]. However, this can be affected by [[Values Dissonance]] which can lead to a [[Flip-Flop of God]]. It can also lead to a [[Misaimed Fandom]], which can lead to the aforementioned problems but can also help how successful the work is leading to a [[Shrug of God]].

* ''[[Half Baked]]'' has the Enhancement Smoker, a character based entirely around this concept. The best part is how well he's played by [[Jon Stewart]] and how much better ''[[The Daily Show]]'' and ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' are stoned.
{{quote|'''Enhancement Smoker''': You ever see the back of a twenty dollar bill... on weed? Oh, there's some crazy shit, man. There's a dude in the bushes. Has he got a gun? I dunno! RED TEAM GO, RED TEAM GO.}}
* Used in-story in ''[[Knocked Up]]''
* Woody Allen displays a dim view of this in ''[[Annie Hall]]'' when a California party guest says "You ever see Renoir's ''Grand Illusion''? It's hilarious when you're stoned!"
* Invoked in ''[[Super Troopers]]'' when the guys use some confiscated pot to help them look for "evidence" in tapes of the Afghani-produced Johnny Chimpo cartoon.
