Reception and legacy

edit

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]
