The final track, "Witchi-Tai-To," in particular, received a lot of FM radio play, contributing to the album's modest success. The duo gained a devoted underground following as a result of this exposure, which also prepared them for the commercial success of their upcoming album release.[2]

Weeds has been reissued on CD twice, both times coupled with Brewer & Shipley's third album Tarkio, firstly by Collector's Choice records in 2004 and then by Acadia Records in 2008.
