He experiments with marihuana and reads Siddhartha, but his parents foil his attempts to adopt a new lifestyle with suggestions that he exercise more and drink milk. After he is beat up by straight-laced jocks and set up on a date with a vapid cheerleader by his father, he quits his job at the disgusting local butcher shop and hitchhikes to New York. Instead of finding the free love and drugs he seeks, the young man encounters junkies and panhandlers. He does find true love, however, when he comes to the rescue of a young woman resisting the advances of her lecherous landlord. 520 "Statement: We, the producers of THE EVIL WEED, having conducted a study to determine what sort of pictures the Public really wants, discovered that each and every picture which lost money for the last ten years had one thing in common: they were all talking pictures. There was only one conclusion--the talking picture fad is over. We immediately ran out and invested every dime in the first feature-length silent comedy in 35 years, THE EVIL WEED. A completely modern silent comedy, it tells the story of the only kid in a super-straight suburban town who wants to be a freak. After being beaten up by the local jocks, forced to date cheerleaders by his father, recruited by the local plutocrat to help stamp out Communist Inspired Pornography, the kid quits his job at the butcher shop and takes off for the Big City, where he anticipates finding orgies and good dope. Instead, needless to say, he gets his can kicked by muggers, junkies and evil blind men, before the happy ending."--Audio Brandon Films Catalog, 1976-787, page 34. 541 0 PFA 1616-01-7017.
