Alcohol is treated as tragic and comic. I think about The Lost Weekend or Leaving Las Vegas. Comedies about alcohol are Animal House and Strange Brew.
Pictures about pot are almost always comedies. One could say Reefer Madness is a tragedy, but I think of it as a farce: comedy.
I disagree many films have marijuana but aren't comedies and nor should they be. Marijuana is common and crops up in many places. (No pun intended)
What about Blow and Midnight Express? The protagonists are sent to prison for smuggling marijuana. Many of Tarantino films contain explicit use of marijuana but not for comic value.
