Don't forget the "Hash" episode of Barney Miller or the "Wild Parsley" ep of Sanford & Son.

AB · 05-04-2007, 04:52 PM

And Archie Bunker on Speed that one time.

There's a late episode of My Three Sons in which a friend is said to be using marijuana -- Ernie's famous reply is "POT?" I'll try to find out which ep it was.

On Taxi, Reverend Jim is shown eating marijuana brownies at Harvard in a flashback -- the very beginning of his drug use. (IIRC, Tom Hanks also played a college student in that flashback.)

On That 70s Show, Hyde makes marijuana brownies during a garage sale (IIRC), and the adults eat them -- not knowing they are "special!"

The Golden Girls had an episode where Rose is addicted to pain pills.

How about "Latka's Cookies" from Taxi? The secret ingredient in Latka's grandma's cookies was cocaine!!

On Moesha, Frank and Dee thought that Moe was smoking marijuana, but it turned out to be Myles.
