Caffiene counts as a drug, and I'm fairly sure someone MUST have had a cup of coffee at some point in this series, so there's that.

Granted, you're probably not using it in that context, but, still, alcohol is mentioned and shown, which is a drug, cigarettes are smoked, which are drugs. Senzu definitely has an effect on the body, but it is technically food, so it does not count.

Anyway, I don't see any reason to think any pipe Kame'sennin is smoking contains marijuana.
Why not...?

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Because tobacco would be the obvious answer?

If something has 4 legs, a tail, and neighs, you think horses, not zebras.
