Weird out and take a chill pill to get ready for a brain-bending Trek selection.

Usually remaining focused, on point, and firmly grounded, Star Trek still isn't afraid to throw in a curveball once in a while. Then there are times when it catches that curveball, pops it with a pin, paints it in neon colors, reinflates it, and hands it over to the crowds at Woodstock.
When talking about trippy moments in the Star Trek universe it's not just about ingesting a ton of pharmaceuticals. Indeed as Star Trek's third season was drawing to a close, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey maxed out on such LSD vibes with its impressive light show as Dave Bowman travels through the Jupiter monolith on his way to becoming the Star Child. This sequence certainly had its effect on at least one entry on this list.
What also needs to be considered is how a scene is played out, written, or directed. Yes, there are those points that would make the finale of The Prisoner make total sense, yet at times it's how it is structured that provides that truly trippy sensation.
Within Star Trek, there are those scenes that do raise the question of just what was being ingested at the time of their writing. Sadly however there wasn't an opportunity for a Trippy Trip Tucker moment!
