Sonny Bono appears onscreen to tell kids that marijuana is a "bummer" that turns you into a "weedhead" and will make you "trip out" (the fact that, based upon his performance, Sonny appears to have ingested unknown substances before the cameras started rolling tends to limit the film's crediblity somewhat).
Acting
Bono's glassy-eyed performance undermines every word he speaks.
Production
Amateurish reenactments of 'weedheads' that aged like milk.
Director
Max Miller
