The following events took place in a creative writing class:
I made a note to bring in some ashtrays and then I rooted through the wastepaper basket for a few empty cans. Standing beneath the prominently displayed NO SMOKING sign, I distributed the cans and cast my cigarettes upon the table, encouraging my students to go at it. This, to me, was the very essence of teaching, and I thought I’d made a real break-through until the class asthmatic raised his hand, saying that, to the best of his knowledge, Aristophanes had never smoked a cigarette in his life. “Neither did Jane Austin,” he said. “Or the Brontes.” I jotted these names into my notebook alongside the word Troublemaker, and said I’d look into it.

Of course marijuana will make you see things…so that shouldn’t count.
