Reese abuses experimental pharmaceutical drugs in the Season 6 episode "Stilts" in order to make money.
Many characters smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol throughout the series. There are references to drugs like marijuana, meth and LSD in a couple of episodes.

S2E5, "Casino", the episode where the family visits an Indian reservation. Big cat. It happens offscreen around 15 minutes in. It happens RIGHT AFTER they see the puma.
A puma blows up just offscreen- no blood, only dust/dirt in the explosion. Around 1-2 minutes later, the father comments how "it" got on his shoes.

It's an early 2000 series so there is a lot of general homophobic type jokes. Like in the first series Malcolm was good at acting so Stevie calls him 'homoeo' (Romeo) the grandmother is quite bigoted and thinks malcolm is gay
