There’s no doubt that drugs are bad, kids. In plenty of film scenes, we’ve seen how using controlled substances can lead to some seriously dangerous circumstances. However, there are flicks like Scarlett Johansson’s Lucy that fuel suppressed desires to get a little blazed.

In ScarJo’s upcoming film, her character uses a wonder drug giving her access to her brain’s full potential. Lucy also features some amazing effects that we imagine will look so much better while in an altered state.

In that vein, we gathered some of the trippiest films from the 2000s and 2010s that feature mind-bending visuals and storylines that take us outside of the box.

But before you get to all the drugs, check out Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson discussing drinking on the set of Drinking Buddies. (Maybe we’ll have to write a Part 2: Movies that Make Us Want to Drink!)
