McConaughey gave a woman a regular hot dog that he referred to as a "pot dog" that was covered in THC-infused ketchup.

The woman still said she felt tingly down to her toes despite only eating a regular hot dog. The actor also gave away free samples of eye drops and juice that bystanders still said affected them.

McConaughey's Beach Bum co-star Snoop Dogg briefly stopped by, saying hello from a car while in traffic.
