The Simpsons Try Medical Marijuana!
Phish plays at the Springfield Hempfest.
The use of medicinal marijuana is prominently featured throughout Weekend at Burnsie’s. Because the legislation of medicinal marijuana is a controversial issue, The Simpsons’ writing staff has stated that they wanted to explore both sides of the argument, showing both the negative and positive effects of marijuana use. The episode does not come to an absolute conclusion about the issue. The episode also criticizes the use of genetically modified foods, and references Citizen Kane, Dragnet, The Birds, and Judy Garland, among other things. It also features the American rock band Phish as themselves.
