Line #12 PlayingWith/MarijuanaIsLSD


1	'''Basic Trope''': Marijuana (or any drug, for that matter) causes powerful hallucinations and/or extreme disassociation.
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]].
5	** Bob [[ShowWithinAShow goes on a]] VisionQuest.
6	* '''Downplayed''': Bob smokes marijuana and experiences aggression that is usually associated with PCP.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Bob had a mental condition that made him already prone to hallucinations; the pot reacted badly with him and pushed him over the edge.
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''':
22	** Bob thinks he smoked marijuana and starts going through the motions, despite not actually inhaling any smoke.
23	** Bob hallucinates after drinking a single sip of (''decaffeinated'') coffee.
24	* '''Zig-Zagged''': Sometimes marijuana has these effects, and sometimes it doesn't.
25	* '''Averted''': Bob smokes marijuana, which has affects more in line with real life.
26	* '''Enforced''':
27	** MoralGuardians wanted to make marijuana to be worse in the series to scare kids from using it.
28	** The show's writers know little to nothing about drugs and assumes that all of them cause hallucinations.
29	* '''Lampshaded''': [[TastesLikePurple "I hear purple!"]]
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."
35	* '''Implied''': Bob: "So, that was pot? That was freakier than I expected."
36	* '''Played for Laughs''':
37	** The effects of marijuana consumption depicted are laughably off.
38	** What Bob sees is itself hilarious.
39	* '''Played for Drama''': Bob has a life-threatening bad trip while on pot.
40	* '''Played for Horror''': What Bob sees comes to be recurring NightmareFuel for him.
41	* '''Deconstructed''': If marijuana has the same effects as LSD, then pot smokers pose an even greater public safety risk than they believe.
42	* '''Reconstructed''': A pot grower develops a weaker strain of marijuana for people who want a buzz but don't want to threaten to harm other people.
