If there’s one thing the fictional worlds of film and our own very own real one have in common, it’s drugs. Even in the characters in galaxies far, far away or in the humble forests of The Shire want to find a way to get high.

For some, drugs aren’t done for their ends, but rather as means and tools to achieve a masterful plan. The top 11 drugs in science fiction and fantasy below only glaze the surface of drugs in these genres, both in movies and films.
