From the liner notes

Turn On, tune in, go crazy! One minute, she's a college student; the next she's Alice in Acidland, a drug-crazed sex kitten who plunges headfirst down the wrong rabbit hole! Alice Trenton is "a normal well-adjusted young lady" until naughty gal pal Frieda Hamilton turns her on with "joints of pot" and lesbian lust. Hanging out with Frieda's friends, Alice is so eager to be part of the "sex-for-pleasure inner circle" that her life becomes a whirlwind of marijuana and nude parties. But things turn tragic when Alice dares to ride the ultimate high: LSD -- yes, acid, that "destroyer of youth and moral obligations!" Suddenly, Alice's black-&-white world turns to trippy color as angelic nymphettes dance through psychedelic dreamscapes, giant breasts glide about like heavenly moons and her already confused mind melts into jelly...

Plus: Lovers of women and weed should then rush on over to the party at Turk's for a special evening of Smoke and Flesh that begins with a delivery of some groovy grass. But watch out! Just when everyone's toked and the free lovin' starts to flow, a slimeball named Skiff crashes the festivities. Turk provides the punch line however when he slips Skiff some surprise LSD, and the dumb goon promptly enters Freakout Land.... These Two Trippy Time Capsules from the Outta-Sight Sixties will give you a cinematic high!

Review

A difference in sensibilities from opposite coasts of the USA is on display in this 1960s drugsploitation double feature. Alice represents the lazy California school of filmmaking. Essentially a remake of cautionary roadshow features like Delinquent Daughters, it removes almost all traces of plot, and padded out with dull sex scenes, doesn’t even reach an hour of running time. Its climactic color acid trip looks like nothing more than art school doodling. In contrast, the New York-shot Smoke and Flesh abounds with creativity. With weirdo characters like a masked biker and a bald guy whose had a brain operation and encourages his wife to swing for his amusement, its first half is constructed like a trippy low budget comedy, with lots of poorly recorded dialogue and odd happenings, all shot with a lot of unusual angles. Some shots are taken from inside a refrigerator, for example. A close-up shows you how to roll a joint, which is smoked through a makeshift pipe. When the cretins invade the party, the show shifts into terror territory, and LSD is used positively as a defensive weapon! A wealth of disc extras yields extra points, especially the short documentary feature Aphrodisiac!
