Drugs

Dean: Uh, should we dim the lights and sync up Wizard of Oz to Dark Side of the Moon? Sam: Why? Dean: What did you do during college? – Sam and Dean, 3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me

The theme of addiction is recurrent throughout Supernatural, and recreational drugs are no exception. Though alcohol is the drug of choice for hunters, civilians in the series are often shown as turning to marijuana and prescription drugs for escapism. No characters are shown smoking or snorting any illegal substances in the series, but Dean has a running commentary on drugs, both in joking reference to other characters's paraphernalia and by alluding to his own history with illegal substances.

3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me

Because of the use of African Dream Root, there are frequent references to drugs and stoner culture throughout this episode, including Dean agreeing to know what a bad acid trip is like (and then denying it when he remembers he's pretending to be FBI), and the quote on this page in which Dean references The Dark Side of the Rainbow, typically experienced while high.

4.21 When the Levee Breaks

Throughout the series, Sam's demon blood addiction is associated with terms used for more traditional drugs. In this episode, Sam is trapped in Bobby's panic room and forced to go without the blood in what Bobby refers to as "demon-detox" and going "cold turkey." The symptoms Sam experiences as a result of being cut off from the demon blood are also similar to the symptoms of withdrawal from hard drugs, including sweating, insomnia, seizures, paranoia, and hallucinations.

There is a large bong in Michael Wheeler and Brian Wilcox's house. After hearing Sam and Dean speculate that the creature responsible for recent deaths may be a Mayan god, Michael (who has become a werewolf) holds the bong aloft and declares: "I am a golden god. I am a golden god!"

8.14 Trial and Error

Kevin is left on his own to translate the Hell tablet, and is already shown to be taken aspirin and caffeine regularly. When Dean and Sam drop by, Dean cheerfully gives Kevin two more bottles to add to the mix, along with a friendly slap on the arm. "The, uh, blue ones are for the headaches, and the greens are for pep. Don't O.D." After they're out of earshot, Sam questions Dean, but Dean's response is dismissive. "Sam, we are on the one-yard-line. It is time to play through the pain."
