What is the movie/tv show where they write "not for drugs" on a dollar bill before they give it to someone?

I vaguely recall this happening as a joke in some form of media but all I’m getting are statistics about currency being contaminated with cocaine when searching for it online.

Edit: My dad wants to buy scuba equipment but doesn’t know where to buy it or what size he is for a lot of it so I was going to write “For scuba equipment not for drugs” on one of the bills as a joke for his Christmas present.

Fair enough. It’s a bit of a weird wordy situation to explain

Searching online points to the movie Drillbit Taylor maybe being where this came from, but I have not seen it to confirm.

I think that might be it! I definitely saw that movie a few years ago.

Nice detective work

Could be related to the Aussie movie Two Hands, where some drug money has a picture of a gun drawn on it? Only one I can think of right now where money has somat written on it.

That and the tooth fairy sticker on the fiver in that Bluey episode, I guess.

You may be thinking of Scarface. When Tony Montana exchanges dollars for pesos 🤷‍♂️

Not sure where it’s from but I’ve received a bill like that from someone I really cared about a long time ago when I had a bit of a serious drinking problem. I was also homeless at the time.

The $20 bill said, “Not for alcohol,” on it. And the look in their eyes pleaded, “please.”

When I was at the liquor store that evening and I went to pay I didn’t have enough unless I spent that $20. I picked something different and used that money for food that night.

I’d like to say that was the first step in me getting sober but it was a few years later when I finally quit drinking.

6 years sober now.

I really wish I could remember their face.

Really glad it sounds like you’re doing better. Good job, Gormadt.
