Trope Name is the lyric from Music/BobDylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" (leading, incidentally, to one of the more notable musical instances of NonAppearingTitle and RefrainFromAssuming). It's also used by Music/CypressHill from their album "Temple of Boom".

* Music/BobDylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is the aforementioned TropeNamer; ironic considering the song isn't actually about drugs, but about judging people - i.e. stoning in the biblical sense).

* Trope Namer is the lyric from Music/BobDylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" from ''Music/BlondeOnBlonde'' (leading, incidentally, to one of the more notable musical instances of NonAppearingTitle and RefrainFromAssuming; also ironic considering the song isn't actually about drugs, but about judging people - i.e. stoning in the biblical sense).

Most or all of the cast is exposed to some kind of mood-altering substance or object and start behaving very strangely, usually by acting out normally-inhibited impulses. Often includes elements of {{Only Sane Man}}, who has to figure out what's happening and neutralize the effect. Either that or the majority of the cast is either drinking or [[TheStoner using drugs]] and gets [[SexAndDrugsAndRockAndRoll either drunk or high and maybe frisky]] .

* In "Crackers Don't Matter", everyone on board Moya is affected by the work of a passenger they take on board. Here, it's a case of [[spoiler: the light that the insect-like alien produces, sending the entire crew crazy, due to it affecting the optic nerve, with John remaining slightly more coherent due to his comparatively poor eyesight.]] This is probably one of the funniest episodes in the entire series and certainly the first time the viewer sees just how well Browder does crazy.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", an invasion of knowledge-devouring Brainspawn causes everyone on Earth to fall into [[TheDitz ditzy]] levels of stupidity. Everyone [[OnlySaneMan except for Fry]], who lacks certain types of brainwaves as the result of [[StableTimeLoop being his own grandfather]].
** Another episode had everyone on Earth completely intoxicated after millions of atom-sized Benders converted the planet's water into alcohol.

* ''[[That70sShow That 70s Show]]'': Not only do the main characters smoke weed on a regular basis, there has been an episode where some marijuana-laced brownies are accidentally eaten by Red and Kitty (who would never voluntarily get stoned). HilarityEnsues
* ''TheMonkees'': episode “Mijacogeo: The Frodis Caper.” The Monkees must save the world from the evil work of Wizard Glick, who is “hypnotizing” everyone’s mind through televisions emitting [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar “frodis”]] power. You figure out the rest.
* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' Red Kryptonite has this affect on Kryptonians and has been used so much that characters in show have referenced it anytime a Kryptonian has been acting odder than usual. Producers only wanted to use it for season 2 and the season three opener, but the Network loved it and insisted that it get more use in the series than was ever intended.

*** The episodes ''Nicodemus'' and ''Rush'' had people lose their inhibitions due to a rare pollen and ancient (possibly Kryptonian) parasites, respectively. In both these episodes, Clark is pretty much the only one not affected [[spoiler: in ''Rush'', however, Chloe and Pete use Red Kryptonite to make him join them]].
* In an episode of ''Series/{{Farscape}}'', named "Crackers Don't Matter" everyone on board Moya is affected by the work of a passenger they take on board. Here, it's a case of [[spoiler: the light that the insect-like alien produces, sending the entire crew crazy, due to it affecting the optic nerve, with John remaining slightly more coherent due to his comparatively poor eyesight.]] This is probably one of the funniest episodes in the entire series and certainly the first time the viewer sees just how well Browder does crazy.
** Then there's "Meltdown", where a rupture in Talyn's systems results in him spilling mist that heightens certain character traits in each person. Stark gets penitent and hung up on TheLostLenore while making their current crisis a bit worse, Crais embraces his inner screaming control freak, Rygel can't stop eating, and John and Aeryn can barely keep from banging each other up one side of Talyn and down the other.

* The sit-com ''{{Taxi}}'' had one of these as well, where Latka brought in some cookies made with his old country grandmother's favorite recipe. Everyone proceeded to get completely stoned, except Jim, who sampled the cookies, looked thoughtful, and then said "Peru". He samples a bit more, and says "1974" (the episode aired in 1981). He samples a bit more, and says "Southern Peru". He samples a bit more, and says "Before the rains". The parody of coffee and wine snobs identifying a vintage by taste, and the idea that Jim was enough of an expert to do this with coca leaves, was hysterically funny.

* In ''TrailerParkBoys'', the lead characters are ''always'' doing it (even when they're in prison) and almost everyone does at some time or other.

* ''CareBears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot'' has the episode where Grizzle sends down a robot that is equipped with a beam that he believes to be capable of wiping out the bears' belly badges. What it did instead was bring out the bears' negative traits (side effects include dulling the bears' color and reversing the bears' belly badges). And then there's another episode where Grizzle's plan to use a love potion on the Care Bears backfire as said bottle of love potion ends up in Oopsy's hands and he uses too much of it on himself.

If only one or two characters are affected, then it's IntoxicationEnsues. If the substance is specifically an aphrodisiac, then it's {{Love Is In The Air}}. If it's the other way around and it makes everyone really sensitive and moody, then it's the HatePlague. If it causes hallucinations, it's a MushroomSamba. When it really is pretty much everyone, and TheGovernment or [[ReligionOfEvil some]] [[CorruptCorporateExecutive other]] [[AncientConspiracy powerful organization]] is forcing everyone to be on drugs, then it's GovernmentDrugEnforcement.

* Music/PeterTosh points out that [[TheStoner all kinds of people smoke marijuana]] in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER51ZvTHNpM "Legalize It"]]:

* Dr. Ronald K. Siegel, who is a pharmacologist, identifies intoxication as an innate biological need. He identifies getting drunk/high as the fourth vital drive along with eating, drinking and [[NatureAbhorsAVirgin having sex]].

* In ''ThePaleKing'', Chris mentions how common and easy it was to obtain drugs in college.

* ''Series/TheLibrarians'' has "And the Apple of Discord", which involves an object that turns people into the worst versions of themselves.

* Zig-zagged in a now infamous episode of Ralph Bakshi's ''MightyMouse'' series. Mighty Mouse comes to the aid of Polly Pineblossom, a poor mouse girl who is taunted by the bully Big Murray, but Polly explains that there are others who need help more than her, and she gives our hero a flower, which dissolves into a powder. Later in the episode, after rescuing a colony of beach ants, Mighty Mouse takes the pulverized flower out in reflection of Polly's words, sniffs it, and it goes up his nose. A viewer claimed that Mighty Mouse was sniffing cocaine and Rev. Donald Wildmon took up the cause. Both CBS and Bakshi claimed nothing of the sort happened but the scene was cut out in ensuing screenings.

** [[spoiler: Subverted in that it's just caffeine pills being sold as hard rugs. Turns out the aliens can't handle even the mild dehydration caused by caffeine.]]

* Not satisfied with characters that changed personalities from week to week, {{Dollhouse}} sprung one of these only 7 episodes in. [[spoiler: The [[TechnicolorScience vibrant green]] [[AppliedPhlebotinum neurochemical]] affects normals and dolls differently. When it touches unaltered humans it has [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration "Naked Now"]]-like effects, and [[HilarityEnsues hilarity ensues]]. Conversely, it hits dolls more slowly resulting in PTSD-like flashbacks.]]

* The ''{{Eureka}}'' episode "Purple Haze".

* In the ''{{Illuminatus}}''-trilogy the protagonists at one point ''must'' take a dose of LSD each before entering a rock festival sponsored by the AncientConspiracy in order to prevent the enemy psychics from reading their minds. They needn't have bothered, since someone had already put the stuff in the water supply. Of course this being ''Illuminatus'', the protagonists keep getting stoned repeatedly anyway for fun, sport and enlightenment. It even includes Franklin Delano Roosevelt giving a good word for the stuff.

Most or all of the cast is exposed to some kind of mood-altering substance and start behaving very strangely, usually by acting out normally-inhibited impulses. Often includes elements of {{Only Sane Man}}, who has to figure out what's happening and neutralize the effect.

* There's a DigimonTamers one-shot where Takato has broken his leg (Kazu's fault) and Kazu, Henry and Kenta show up to keep him company one evening. They end up watching an ''incredibly'' dumb movie that Kazu suddenly starts finding funny at a very unfunny part. No one's sure what's wrong with him until Kenta bites into one of Takato's pain pills that was in his popcorn. Turns out the bottle spilled into the popcorn and everyone except Henry took at least a little. Cue Henry playing OnlySaneMan to his varying-degrees-of-stoned teammates.
