In 1990, it was officially released by Homestead on vinyl and cassette under the name of Barlow's newly formed band Sebadoh. Later that year it was re-released on CD by Homestead on the Sebadoh compilation album The Freed Weed, which also contains a number of songs from the band's debut album, The Freed Man (1989).
In 2012, the album was again self-released under the Sentridoh name, in a number of formats on the website Bandcamp, including CD, vinyl, cassette and digital download.
The album was named after a lyric in the Barlow song "Lose," which was not included in Weed Forestin but reworked into a Dinosaur Jr. song on their 1987 album, You're Living All Over Me. In his July 2011 newsletter, Barlow explained that "i was -not- high on marijuana when i recorded this.. 'weed forestin' meant making the most out of what i had, foresting weeds instead of trees."[1]
