Reception and legacy

Featuring a scene with a hallucinated talking hot dog, it has been described as "backed by strange psychedelic visuals and free of preaching and pat conclusions", [4] "comically exaggerated", [1] "unintentionally funny" [5] "This Is Your Wiener On Drugs" (referencing the 1980s Partnership for a Drug-Free America This Is Your Brain on Drugs campaign), [6] and sarcastically credited for "kickstarting the vegetarian craze". [7]

Home media

The short is part of Fantoma Films 'The Educational Archives ephemeral film DVD series in the Sex & Drugs collection. [4]
