10 Most Adorable Cartoon Drug Addicts By analise.dubner [230 more lists]
When I was a kid, the drug problems of these characters were never apparent. So what if Wimpy had an obvious food addiction problem? He was eating plates and plates of burgers! Hilarious! Did it occur to me that Shaggy was constantly stoned? No. They could have shown him smoking a fatty onscreen and I wouldn't have batted an eye. After all, there were crooked realtors to unmask! Shady property developers to expose! Cartoons have depicted substance abuse since the beginnings of cartoons, and they still do it today.
Remember, kids, stay off drugs. Unless they provide comic relief.... then it's totally ok.

Shaggy
The effects of marijuana are described as: problems with memory and learning, distorted perception, trouble with thinking and problem solving, loss of motor coordination, increased heart rate, and anxiety.
Lets just forget for a moment that Shaggy was constantly paranoid and hungry. Instead, let's use pot as an explanation for why Shaggy... as a supposed non-developmentally challenged adult ... would find himself terrified to the point of incontinence of realtors drapped in sheets or wearing $5 halloween masks.
Conclusion: Total Stoner. Frankly, I would toke up as often as I could if I were stuck in a van with Fred and his insufferably patronizing ascot. -

Created initially as the anti-Garfield, there probably wasn't a drug that Bill didn't use. He was a movie star, politician, rock star and corpse. And during each phase of his career, he never stopped living the catatonic life of a user. They SAY that his friends helped him kick his drug habit during his film career where he gained fame in such epics as: Orangestoke: The Legend of Bill, Lord of the Monkeys. But after his death and subsequent cloning...followed by short stint with a cult... it could never be said that Bill ever really gave up on drugs. Case in point, the pop-eyed stare, constant smoking, and inability to utter more than gutteral grunts.
Conclusion: Dead. - 3
Barney Gumble
Can it be said that Barney had a great life ahead of him if he hadn't been introduced to that first beer by his best friend, Homer? Yes. The word is yes. People like to call Homer an alcholic, but Barney is clearly the true user here. Rarely seen outside the bar, Moe hires on a new "barney-guarder" for when his new beer shipments come in. There is nothing that Barney would not drink to get his buzz. And what's sad is that he clearly has some real business acumen.. as seen in the Mr. Plow episode. I speak, of course, of his stint in the giant diaper passing out coupons. His filmic skills were also in evidence, as seen by his short film documentary
Conclusion: Severe Alcoholic -

So, you're telling me that you get an increased sense of self importance and empowerment right after you snort your "magic powder", Mr. Mighty? Interesting.
Of course, this was just the Ralph Bakshi version of Mighty Mouse, so I'm trying to be fair here. Fair.
But he was a total cokehead.
Conclusion: Coke Head - 5 "Whose leg do you have to hump to get a dry martini around here?"
Oh, sweet alchohol. So addictive. So legal. how many times have you seen Brian without a drink in his hand? On the plus side, he is a recovered cocaine addict. So. Alcohol is better, right?
Conclusion: Alcoholic
