Giggle Weed Indeed, 4 October 2008
10/10
Author: Clay Loomis from Arroyo Grande, California

I know some of you may hate this movie because it is so badly made. Or because the theme is so strikingly nonsensical. But believe me, it is a real hoot. It's a mid '30s version of "Just say no". It's fantastic in its ignorance.

Back in the '70's I could still buy a five finger dime bag full of seeds and stems. The lid was horrid "paraquat weed", but you could still get it for ten bucks. This movie takes it back a whole new way. Absolute nonsense front to back, this baby has a big new meaning today. It's a laugh riot. Guaranteed to make you giggle, provided you're high on weed (yes, I see the irony).

The Cheesedick that made this monster obviously never smoked any weed himself, or he'd have known better than to produce this dreck of a movie. It's funny as hell though, seen through modern eyes.

Watch it under the influence of some "giggle water", or "giggle weed". Trust me, it's great.
