Did The Turtles Ever Do Drugs?
 

Obviously they weren't passing a joint around between battles, but did the lean green team have any encounters with psychedelic drugs? I seem to have a vague memory of a turtle (Leonardo or Donny, maybe) taking peyote and having some sort of spiritual quest... or perhaps Splinter used funky herbs to help the turtles travel in their own minds, I dunno. Any of that ring a bell? I swear I remember at least one incident where a turtle tripped out in order to learn a lesson of some sort.

Are you thinking of the Tales of the TMNT 2-parter #12-13, where Leo goes into the astral plane and sees the space monkey and then teams up with 4 different Leo's of different ages?

I remember what you are referring to. In the issue Leonardo says something like, "Master, are you offering me drugs?"

I'm not a chicken! You're a turkey!

Are you sure you're not thinking of Young Guns?

Does booze count?

That's about all I can think of too...

-ms

If I remember correctly Raph and Mike get high off dentists gas leaking in the Talbot short "It's a Gas". Leo and Don find them lying on the grass laughing at clouds.

Also if it counts I can't remember which turtle popped a pill not knowing what it did in "D'ants Fever". It made him grow in size.

I believe you're thinking of the Tales of Leonardo "Blind Sight" 4 issue Mini.

I recall mikey having a heroin addiction in an issue of adventures.

No, he didn't. You might be mistakenly thinking about the issue where he was being interrogated. The Dr. interrogating him injects him with with phenobarbital, NOT heroin. If this isn't what you're referring to, I'd like some sort of reference.

Was this from the comic where ? I seem to have a vague memory myself of something like that happening.

I remember them constantly doing black tar heroin in the original carton show

Haha!:tlol:

"Master Splinter, are you giving me drugs?"

"Look at it like a gateway."

This is another one of those weird topics.....

How is it weird?

So it was viagra?

Yep. Right after filming wrapped for Cartoon All-Stars.

For real though, not in any issue I've read. Although they've been in plenty of situations so surreal you'd be forgiven for thinking so. (Raphael in Turtle Soup's "Snapper," anyone?)

Tales of Leonardo: Blind Sight #3 to be exact where Leo drinks the Infini-tea

Well it was more or less pushed on him by a hot alien chick. ;)

Do you consider "the Birds, The Bees, And the Turtles" official? If so, Raph smokes a joint in that book right before putting the screws to Ninjara. Just sayin'.

When the Turtles and Honeycutt are at an alien bar looking for transportation, Raph drinks something that makes him loopy.

Do alntian crystals count as drugs cuz don gets wierd when one of those light up?

Not sure I know what you're talking about... Where/when were these crystals featured?

4Kids series. The crystal power sources...not sure what he means aside from that, though.

I hear a breaking bad/tmnt crossover is in the works. Should be good stuff :D

WTH? really?

Well, now's as good a time as any to post this...

the turtles abused pizza like a drug in the OT...

but seriously, you might also be thinking of issue 37 of v1, "Twlight of the Ring." No drugs, but Don gets kinda possessed by a reptile spirit and has a bit of a spiritual journey. Leo thinks he's crazy in that issue, which is an interesting role-reversal compared to the current IDW series, where Leo is the most accommodating to the spiritual reincarnation plot, and Don is the nonbeliever.

Lol..why would Raph need Viagra?, another thread going on the weird side, I see..

For a long time it's been joked about that Eastman and Laird themselves must've been high when they first created the TMNT. Kinda makes you wonder if that's at all true.

This is what I was going to say.

Besides that, Michelangelo alludes to smoking in yes, an OT episode. I don't recall the name of the ep, but I've posted on YouTube the scene. Mikey states "I hate when people smoke and run", which is a common complaint of smokers.



It wouldn't be too difficult to assume that they've all probably tried pot...psychedelic drugs might be a harder sell!

You've obviously never seen the Turtles anti-drugs PSA. :tlol:

HURRR IT'S ALL SO FANNI BIG JOKE

It's an honest question pertaining to the Mirage comics. Christ.

Was I right about the Tales of Leonardo thing? I don't own that Mini anymore so I can't look it up myself.

I read that one, It was great!Lol!!!!:DIt was very much like Raph was drunk.

I agree, if you are offended by drugs or anything that's your right but you can at least contribute something to the discussion.

Powder, were you thinking of the Twilight of the Ring?

yeah, you are correct, Splinter offers Leo the Infini-Tea in issue 3 of Tales of Leonardo: Blind Sight

That's definitely one of them but I feel like there's an instance missing... Were they ever drugged by foot mystics or anything like that?
