The Psychedelic World Of HR Pufnstuf: Facts You Didn’t Know

Apparently, No Marijuana Was Involved in the Making of H.R. Pufnstuf (Really, None)

It’s long been rumored that the Krofft brothers were deeply influenced by marijuana and LSD when they were making H.R. Pufnstuf (hello, the name is straight up “Puffing Stuff” when you say it out loud). Despite these obvious parallels, the brothers deny using drugs – at least during work hours.

In a 2005 interview with USA Today, Marty Krofft said, “No drugs involved. You can’t do drugs when you’re making shows. Maybe after, but not during. We’re bizarre, that’s all.” But what about LSD? How did they come up with all of those psychedelic costumes?
