• Star Trek: The Next Generation S6E19 “Lessons”
  • It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia S3E5 “The Aluminum Monster vs. Fatty Mcgoo”
    • Well now I can’t stop thinking about the TNG episode where the two alien civs are in a dispute over a shipment of narcotics and everyone has their little moral opinion on drug use and how human society got rid of drugs, but they also still imbibe alcohol in the future.

      Maybe Barclay would have had some chill if Starfleet let him smoke weed.

        starfleet doesn’t stop people from doing drugs, their culture just generally looks down on it. The DS9 peeps are always ribbing each other about their coffee habits.

        There’s at least one episodes where Janeway asks for stimulants (year of hell maybe?) and the objection from the doctor is just that it would be bad for her health.
