2 | * '''Straight''': Bob smokes a joint of marijuana, and suffers vivid hallucinations and/or loses concentration. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** The hallucination is extremely [[MindScrew bizarre and frightening]]. |

6 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob smokes marijuana and experiences aggression that is usually associated with PCP. |
7 | * '''Justified''': |

9 | ** Unbeknownst to Bob, the marijuana was laced with ''actual'' LSD. |
10 | ** The PlaceboEffect causes Bob, who equates Marijauna with LSD, to hallucinate every time he takes it. |
11 | ** This rather unique batch of Marijuana was cultivated to have those effects. |
12 | * '''Inverted''': |
13 | ** Bob takes LSD, but it makes him relaxed, lazy, and overly hungry, like marijuana in RealLife. |
14 | ** Bob smokes marijuana, and there is ''no'' effect. |
15 | * '''Subverted''': |
16 | ** Bob smokes lots of marijuana, but the audience never sees it kicking in. |
17 | ** Bob smokes a joint and has a hallucination, only it was a very lucid dream. |
18 | ** It turns out Bob actually has undiagnosed schizophrenia that just happened to flare up when he was smoking a joint, leading him to assume it was the marijuana that did it when in fact it was a coincidence.. |
19 | ** It is explicitly the context which causes a mental breakdown and not the drug itself. After a TraumaCongaLine the paranoia combined with his uptight family were too much. |
20 | * '''Double Subverted''': Only to realize that what he was smoking was not marijuana; Bob then smokes marijuana and incurs the effects. |
21 | * '''Parodied''': |

30 | * '''Invoked''': Alice blows marijuana smoke at Bob or gets him to smoke marijuana inadvertently, knowing he'll suffer these side effects. |
31 | * '''Exploited''': Charlie uses Bob's hallucinations to steal from him. |
32 | * '''Defied''': The person who prepared the pot makes sure it isn't contaminated with LSD, so his/her customers get the effects they are looking for and come back. |
33 | * '''Discussed''': "That's not what happens when you smoke pot! That's what LSD does." |
34 | * '''Conversed''': "This show is just plain weird! It's like some priggish moral guardian wanted to make pot seem incredibly scary and terrible." |
