* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Nowadays, it doesn’t seem so shocking for Homer to smoke marijuana, but back in 2002, it surprised people with the fact that Homer was doing so.

Added DiffLines:

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Music/{{Phish}} guitarist Trey Anastasio is shown playing a few bars of ''The Simpsons'' theme song on his guitar before he introduces Homer. This wasn't a throwaway gag for the episode, but a reference to something Anastasio actually did for years at Phish concerts as part of a series of [[http://phish.net/song/secret-language-instructions/history "secret language" signals]] they had taught their fans. The audience is supposed to react to the ''Simpsons'' theme cue by yelling "D'oh!", but for the episode, that was changed to a generic "Boom!" in order to avoid a CelebrityParadox. This cue even occasionally showed up in the song the band is shown performing in the episode, "Run Like an Antelope".

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: For a while, When approached about smoking marijuana, Homer notes that the marijuana he has is medicinal, then adds that he could just walk up to the President and blow smoke in "his stupid monkey face" and he'd just be sitting there groovin' on it. [[note]]This refers to George W. Bush, the president when this episode was written and aired, who was often said to have a chimp-like face[[/note]] The line came off as racist with [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama a black man]] as President (and "monkey," for the sheltered, is a racist slur towards African-Americans) -- one who ''did'' smoke marijuana in his college days. Though the line is less accidental as now [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump Donald Trump]] has taken office (though whether or not the line still applies to Trump is debatable and won't be discussed here).

* ValuesResonance: Homer's use of marijuana is PlayedForLaughs, but it would feel more open in 2015, when several states have actually legalized recreational marijuana, and when the war on drugs has been seriously contested.
