Synopsis
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).

I agree with the uploader that Bono does look a bit glazed about the eyes. I saw this film when I was 13 years old. The first thing I remember is Sonny Bono’s shiny outfit. Hey man, are you “putting me on?” They used to beat guys up at my school for dressing like that. The film didn’t do anything for me back then other than getting me out of a class. It did not deter me from trying “grass” and I remember being disappointed when I shared my first joint the following year. I saw no colors, I saw no strange creatures staring at me from mirrors. Maybe I was having one of those “bad trips” Sonny…

★★★★ · Interesting piece of history · TheMeek · 2012-02-13
Interesting that Gene Clark, a founding member of the Byrds, scored the music for this film. I do think that Sonny Bono seems a bit slurred at the end of this film.
