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|Stoner Flicks]] that get this or if it just has a [[The Stoner|stoner]] character, especially an [[Erudite Stoner|erudite one]]. Works that use [[Faux Symbolism]] also receive this. It also happens with works that involve swirls of bright colors, strobe lights, laser lights, [[Mushroom Samba|mushroom sambas]], or [[Disney Acid Sequence|Disney Acid Sequences]]. Frequently, the work just has to involve something strange or out of the ordinary, so this is very common with fantasy and science fiction as well as works involving a [[Mind Screw]]. Also possible with works that are supposedly aimed at kids but the [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's for Kids?|content calls this into question]].
 
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]].
 
Often leads to an [[Alternate Aesop Interpretation]], [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory]], or [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Didactic?]].
 
[[Nightmare Fuel|Generally not recommended]] with [[Horror]] films.
 
Oddly enough, this only occasionally overlaps with [[This Is Your Premise On Drugs]]. However, it almost ''always'' overlaps with [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]
