"Is it a source for harm­less kicks, or a poten­tially crip­pling addic­tion? Is it a tool to expand one’s con­scious­ness, or a down­ward spi­ral­ing path that can even­tu­ally lead to insanity?" Catnip: Egress to Oblivion? asks the tough questions. The video is a perfect parody of an older generation classroom anti-drug films, complete with dry narration, trippy visual effects, and user testimonials. Jason Willis, the filmmaker behind the oddball project, says, "it's a pre­pos­ter­ous idea that I almost regret having!" Seven minutes long, the film is epic by the Internet's standards for cat videos but highly entertaining and worth a look.
