    • Straight: A person smokes a joint of marijuana, and suffers vivid hallucinations and/or loses concentration.
    • Exaggerated: The hallucination is extremely bizarre and frightening.
    • Justified: The drug is extremely experimental, or is laced with a much more powerful drug.
    • Inverted: A person takes LSD, but it has the same effects as marijuana in Real Life
    • Subverted: A person smokes lots of marijuana, but the audience never sees it kicking in.
    • Double Subverted: Only to realize that the drug he was smoking was not marijuana, and the person then smokes marijuana and then suffers the effects.
    • Parodied: Someone thinks he smoked marijuana, and starts going through the motions, despite not actually inhaling any smoke.
      • Someone hallucinates after drinking a single sip of coffee.
    • Deconstructed: ???
    • Reconstructed: ???
    • Zig Zagged: Sometimes marijuana has these effects, and sometimes it doesn't.
    • Averted: Someone smokes marijuana, but suffers no effects, or has more realistic ones.
    • Enforced: Moral Guardians wanted to make marijuana to be worse in the series to scare kids from using that.
    • Lampshaded: "I hear purple!"
    • Invoked: Someone blows marijuana smoke at someone, or gets the person to inadvertently smoke marijuana, knowing that the person wills suffer these side effects.
    • 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!"
    • Conversed: "It's like some priggish moral guardian wanted to make pot seem incredibley scary and terrible...(puff)"
