Any mention of drugs in Dragon Ball?

[PhoenixEX]

Besides the obvious Alcohol consumption (looking at you, Bulma) and random cigarette smoking characters, have there ever been any mention of drugs? Any use? Marijuana is just now very slowly starting to become more socially acceptable and it'd be interesting for anime to implement recreational use like a lot of sitcoms and films have been increasingly doing. What do you think?

-Muten Roshi smokes weed
-Bulma and Chi-Chi mention something about pot in GT

That does not sound accurate. Also, if they said it in the english dub. then it's just Funimation messing around as ever.

...anyway, I remember Oolong talking about slipping sedatives in Goku and Bulma's drinks, but that's pretty much it.

[Polyphase Avatron]

Didn't Mr. Satan once claim that Cell or someone was on steroids? Does that count?

[90sDBZ]

When Super Buu changed to Buff Buu in the Manga Goku joked that he might be on steroids.

[FortuneSSJ]

Spopovitch and Majin Vegeta just have the word steroids written all over them.
Not only because their appearance, but also getting quickly power ups through the bad way.

Some would argue that Senzu are drugs.

[LuckyCat]

Marijuana is still illegal in Japan so it's not like they can throw it out blatantly in children's programming.

Some would argue that Senzu are drugs.

They're magic beans. If you want to get technical, the characters used for them are 仙豆 which means "wizard beans".

I will definitely use this explanation in future when someone will ask me, thank you!
It's a magic, yes

Roshi was shown smoking a pipe when Goku and Kuririn were training.

Do we actually see the object she dropped. She could've just referred to the one used for cooking after all.

Tobacco can also be smoked from a pipe, you know.

It's a cooking pot that she had on her head, which then fell off and hit Bulma's windshield.

Yes, but Roshi's all about relaxing and shit. No one who smokes tobacco is calmer in the long-run. It makes you even more on the edge.

Also he has that certain pipe.

Ah, yes. I should have watched the video, haha.

For the record, that's just the Viz version. In Japanese they just note that Boo is getting really buff all of a sudden.

Along that same line, there are also the PP Candies that Bulma gives / slips Oolong.

... Laxatives are drugs, after all...

[FoolsGil]

Beer, and whatever it is Master Roshi smokes. Whatever it is, it's speculation-tobacco, marijuana, opium-all we know is that whatever it is, he smokes it, meaning it's a drug.

[Gaffer Tape]

Technically, a drug is any chemical substance, excluding food, that has an effect on the body. 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.

[FoolsGil]

And Goku's antidote. He didn't even get it from a doctor.
