geartree 33 October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 Do you think that ponies would partake in our human ways of taking drugs. I would imagine at least alcohol would exist atleast somewhere, because ponies make bread which requires yeast, and all you need is sugar, water and yeast to make alcohol. I don't know, but I would presume drugs would be illegal in equestria. Hearts, as strong as horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Brony 313 October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 If Treehugger wasn't stoned out of her gourd during the Grand Galloping Gala, then I'd say it's safe to assume that ponies do not partake of drugs. I have to wonder though; if you offered a pony a bag of weed, would they smoke it or eat it? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFyr 1,982 October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 To my knowledge, things like alcohol and whatever-level-of-drugs is more common among troubled or disadvantaged social groups; while there are many perfectly happy or stable individuals who try or enjoy it, ease of access or exposure depends on the overall group. At a glance, Equestria seems to be relatively low-stress and high in opportunity and equality. More than likely, there wouldn't be the same elements that push people into looking for self-medication or break down of inhibitions. Also, if I remember right, one of the notable reasons alcohol was widely consumed in olden times (which makes it a bit cultural to have it around), was due to it being a choice between beer with low alcohol content, or potentially contaminated/dirty water with little to no biotic sterilization (alcohol is pretty good at that, remember). So yeah, in many cases, beer was healthier than water. At first glance, Equestria doesn't seem to share the same level of medical concern, so I doubt it'd be less intertwined with their culture. 3 Commission Thread | Deviantart | Poniverse Tumblr | Art Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatonRyu 1,033 October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 I've always considered Rainbow Dash with her affection for cider a pony who wouldn't mind getting a bit drunk every now and then, and I don't think AJ would see that much harm in it either. Pinkie seems to naturally produce speed so I'm leaving her out of this, and Tree Hugger was definitely higher than Rainbow Dash has ever flown.

There are strict limitations on even video games on putting drugs in teen rated games you think in a children/family rated show they would do this? Alcohol does exist in teen rated games though.

There are strict limitations on even video games on putting drugs in teen rated games you think in a children/family rated show they would do this? Alcohol does exist in teen rated games though. Well this children/family rated show did include one of my favorite puns: And while it doesn't directly throw drugs and alcohol in a kids show, it doesn't stop them from including scenes that target the more mature audience. Zecora strikes me as "the good witch" with many herbs and other drugs in storage. She gave Fluttershy poison joke....I am not even sure why she even had that. And someone needs to take Rainbowdash to get some help. She's hooked on Apple Cider, and while it isn't an alcoholic beverage, it seems to be her focus whenever a problem about apples is involved. Like in Bats....I mean I know it was meant for comic relief but Rainbow, your best friend's crops might be destroyed and she might lose her farm....stop thinking about Apple Cider Edited October 21, 2015 by Princess Sunset SILVER STREAM'S POETRY DUMP I am Silver Stream || My Request Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frith is Magick 1,471 October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 The issues of drugs, addiction, and illegal substances can't be fully addressed in a modern children's show, unfortunately, but let's face it, Ponies would totally be all over it. First of all, recreational drugs are, by definition, fun. A little hard apple cider to get the party going, maybe some cannabis to relax, a little coca leaf for a good time, and those mushrooms sure were wild. If Ponies discovered drugs, they'd love 'em until they presented a societal problem, much like it currently is in current human western society. I see Ponies veering more towards natural drugs than refined or artificially altered/engineered substances. Keep flyin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that potions are practically drugs, and if a potion would make you laugh more I would say that's pretty similar to drugs many people take. Hearts, as strong as horses.

UnknownFry 169 October 23, 2015 Share October 23, 2015 (edited) Sounds like a winning combination, but for obvious reasons the show will never cover the issue directly. The closet things to drugs and alcohol would be magical potions and apple cider, and Rainbow Dash has displayed tendencies of addiction to the later. I suspect Berry Punch and Tree Hugger would be into such things.. But who needs drugs when one can get highs from the Magic of Friendship?
