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.

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.

Weed Forestin' is the most Barlow-centric of any Sebadoh release – more so than The Freed Man, which was recorded in 1988 and features a number of Gaffney's songs.

Following Sebadoh's evolution into a traditional band in the early 1990s, Barlow continued to release home recordings under the Sentridoh name.

Allmusic's Richie Unterberger praised the album for Barlow's "appealing voice, sensitive wit, and knack for affected burned-out acid-folk," but wrote "the merits are often buried beneath hiss and tomfoolery, as if [Barlow] wasn't convinced his music was any good on its own terms, and so tried to pretend it was all a joke.

Sonic Youth's drummer, Steve Shelley, released the Sentridoh single "Losercore" on his Smells Like Records label in 1990.

British artist Daryl Waller made a short film for the album independently, and mailed it to Barlow in the early 2000s.
