As part of my next AMV i need an anime with marijuana in it, anyone know of any?
So far all the drugs ive seen in anime are alchohol, mushrooms, and [of course] cigarettes.

Maybe forgein countries cant show that sort of thing, kinda surprised me when I relised how little drug usage there is, with the exeption of cigarettes, compared to American television & movies.

While I can't readily think of something, I have some afterimage of someone dealing cocaine.

What about cool devices, the Mezzo Forte prequel with the pills.

I think in Mezzo DSA there is some drug trading.

Oh what about enhancement drugs?

Grappler Baki 2, several episodes of that.

8man After had some but it was a liquid drug for cyborgs.

Oh man, I can't believe this hasn't come up....

SHAMAN KING!!! Yoh Asakura wears the leaf on his shirts ALL THE TIME! Not to mention that his bed spread is covered with our favorite five-star leaf!

Other than that... drugs in anime include

Cowboy Bebop (Shrooms, a canibus leaf on Jet's shirt in the costume party...)
Akira (Kaneda has a freakin' PILL on the back of his jacket!)
El-Hazard (The original OAV) (The teacher picks up a leaf and rolls it)
Detective Conan (Weed and drugs have to show up SOMEWHERE in there!)
Blue Submarine No. 6 (you can tell the guy's been on needles at the very beginning of the OAV)
Rurouni Kenshin (somebody say Opium?)
Oh My Goddess! (Just what is in Urd's "potions" anyway?)

There's bound to be more. Just got to think of them.

Ooh, I always love a good challenge!

Samurai Champloo, with its' infamous Pot Episode (that trippy fight thing was just bloody hilarious!)

Otherwise - I think drug jokes, esp. in regard to Marijuana are somewhat subdued in the anime thanks to fairly harsh drug laws in Japan.

I can't really think of any marijuana examples

Bebop: Asteroid Blues and Mushroom Samba

Akira

Serial Experiments: Lain has trippy performance enhancers, although they're not connected to any real-life drug, as far as I know.
