While the song was considered taboo in the United States and received limited initial airplay, it became a massive hit in Europe and eventually earned cult classic status worldwide.

The video begins with a humorous skit featuring the "Doctor" speaking in a high-pitched nasal voice, acting as a salesman for specialized growing equipment like "Sizzlean screens" designed to hide farms from police helicopters.

B-Real has noted that the video helped usher in a more lighthearted, "fun" era of rap videos, which artists like Eminem would soon follow with his own character-driven debuts.

B-Real introduces his alter-ego, Dr. Greenthumb , a comical but dedicated cannabis grower who operates outside mainstream rules.
