'''Basic Trope''': Marijuana (or any drug, for that matter) causes powerful hallucinations and/or extreme disassociation.
* '''Straight''': Bob smokes a joint of marijuana, and suffers vivid hallucinations and/or loses concentration.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** The hallucination is extremely [[MindScrew bizarre and frightening]].
** Bob [[ShowWithinAShow goes on a]] VisionQuest.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob smokes marijuana and experiences aggression that is usually associated with PCP.
* '''Justified''':
** Bob had a mental condition that made him already prone to hallucinations; the pot reacted badly with him and pushed him over the edge.
** Unbeknownst to Bob, the marijuana was laced with ''actual'' LSD.
** The PlaceboEffect causes Bob, who equates Marijauna with LSD, to hallucinate every time he takes it.
** This rather unique batch of Marijuana was cultivated to have those effects.
* '''Inverted''':
** Bob takes LSD, but it makes him relaxed, lazy, and overly hungry, like marijuana in RealLife.
** Bob smokes marijuana, and there is ''no'' effect.
* '''Subverted''':
** Bob smokes lots of marijuana, but the audience never sees it kicking in.
** Bob smokes a joint and has a hallucination, only it was a very lucid dream.
** 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..
** 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.
* '''Double Subverted''': Only to realize that what he was smoking was not marijuana; Bob then smokes marijuana and incurs the effects.
* '''Parodied''':
** Bob thinks he smoked marijuana and starts going through the motions, despite not actually inhaling any smoke.
** Bob hallucinates after drinking a single sip of (''decaffeinated'') coffee.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Sometimes marijuana has these effects, and sometimes it doesn't.
* '''Averted''': Bob smokes marijuana, which has affects more in line with real life.
* '''Enforced''':
** MoralGuardians wanted to make marijuana to be worse in the series to scare kids from using it.
** The show's writers know little to nothing about drugs and assumes that all of them cause hallucinations.
* '''Lampshaded''': [[TastesLikePurple "I hear purple!"]]
* '''Invoked''': Alice blows marijuana smoke at Bob or gets him to smoke marijuana inadvertently, knowing he'll suffer these side effects.
* '''Exploited''': Charlie uses Bob's hallucinations to steal from him.
* '''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.
* '''Discussed''': "That's not what happens when you smoke pot! That's what LSD does."
* '''Conversed''': "This show is just plain weird! It's like some priggish moral guardian wanted to make pot seem incredibly scary and terrible."
* '''Implied''': Bob: "So, that was pot? That was freakier than I expected."
* '''Played for Laughs''':
** The effects of marijuana consumption depicted are laughably off.
** What Bob sees is itself hilarious.
* '''Played for Drama''': Bob has a life-threatening bad trip while on pot.
* '''Played for Horror''': What Bob sees comes to be recurring NightmareFuel for him.
* '''Deconstructed''': If marijuana has the same effects as LSD, then pot smokers pose an even greater public safety risk than they believe.
* '''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.
