I can't look at Doug Benson and take him seriously. Here's a guy who looks like he's been beaten in the face with a shovel most of his life and has the personality of a zombie, and yet people pay to see his comedy act. I don't get it. Not only do I dislike Doug, but marijuana is the most boring, over-hyped drug out there, in my opinion. Pot is the Nikes brand of drugs and everyone blindly smokes it. It's marijuana that lead to the creation of the uncreatively named production company that backed this experiment, named the 420 Productions LLC. There's multiple references to 420 throughout the movie, as well, just in case you missed the last ten times it was referenced. Who are these "doctors" he's speaking to anyways? Telling Doug to complete simple memory-tasks is something you try to test a 5 year old. No wonder there's an influx of comedians or comedian wannabe's with this type of humor selling tickets; virtually anyone can become a jokey guy with a pot addiction. The movie was kind of lame, but there were some funny moments to it. There really was no message to convey because even as dispensaries continue to multiply in CA, you still have issues remembering details and get decreased lung capacity. I would only recommend the movie to stoners because the rest of us who don't care about the plight of the pot-lawyers will get bored quickly.

I wanted to comment on JustCurious' review when he stated "But if this is the best they can do, it should perhaps offer some caution about the degree to which marijuana effects cognitive thinking skills and behavior." I would like to remind JustCurious that in this film the tests (SAT & Psychic Test) are actually performed BETTER under the influence of marijuana then the same test taken without the influence. He did slightly lower on memory tests, but was still above average rating.Might also throw in there that this movie is available for instant watching on Netflix.I found this movie very informative and educational, it started a bit slow and dry but by the end if it I had a more solid feel of what the truths and fallacies were with marijuana. It's pretty enlightening to see the plight and struggle of medical marijuana activists and people who try to provide the service despite the attempts to foil them lead by the DEA.

Super High Me aspires to be the "Super Size Me" of pot smoking, instead of eating McDonald's or fast food for a month. The basic premise of the film is that Doug Benson, the narrator/main character, a self-described pothead, will not smoke marijuana for 30 days, then smoke it near constantly for 30 days. Unfortunately, Super High Me is not as good as Super Size Me. Super High Me lacks the witty humor and flow of Super Size Me. It contains basically no evidence of a "pro-pot" or "anti-pot" nature. It leaves the viewer somewhat confused, especially in the second half once Benson begins smoking pot heavily. Overall, I'd recommend Super Size Me far more than Super High Me.

Doug Benson, a stand-up comic you may know from VH1, got the idea to make a documentary about himself smoking weed for 30 days. Ya know, just like Morgan Spurlock from Super-size Me where he ate McDonald's for 30 straight days. This has got to be one of the coolest ideas for a documentary in the history of documentaries. It was a pretty interesting flick, but unfortunately from a person who makes people laugh for a living, not very funny.The flick starts off with Doug not smoking for 30 days and then once that 30 day sequence ends he begins to smoke constantly for the next 30 days. With each sequence he's subject to a bunch of tests, from taking the SATs to a psychic test. Also, he doesn't quit his day job while he's making the film. You get to see him perform his acts when he has them booked, high or not.Doug Benson, is a pretty good comic. He has his own slightly flamboyant, immature style, that he's got down pretty well. He made me smile a few times and possibly giggle once or twice, but none of it was really that funny. He talks about pot, about how it's cool and he misses it, and that's about it. But if you're a fan of Doug's or stand up comedy, you should definitely find this flick funny. The two funniest scenes for me was when he wasn't on stage telling jokes, but when one of the producers was making a mess of Doug's apartment because of his butter fingers. And a fart gag with some tuba's was nice.Doug, even before he began this little experiment, was a pot-head. There's no doubt about it. And this is what makes the whole process not so intriguing. If you know a seasoned burn-out, you know they tend to just get stoned. They can easily be high in almost any situation. If Doug wasn't such a pot-head, it would have been much more entertaining. Morgan Spurlock was a very healthy person, so eating McDonald's nonstop would have drastic affects. But since Doug is a pot-head in real-life this little 30 day bender isn't really anything too amazing to watch. He's such a veteran smoker that he doesn't exhibit any humorous side-effects. You don't see him paranoid, see him geek-out in a laughing fit, seeing him cough his brains out etc. etc. Pretty much all the things that's made any Cheech and Chong flick incredibly funny. But I do thank him for being a pot-head, if he wasn't this movie probably would never have been made.Super High Me, was a cool documentary that gave some neat information concerning California laws, the history on Marijuana Dispensaries in California, and how many types of ways you can actually get high by THC. Lip balm. Believe it.I firmly believe that if Doug wasn't a seasoned smoker this film would have been much more funny. If you've seen one glassy-eyed pot-head you've seen them all, and unfortunately his smoking didn't help make his stand-up act any funnier either. Then again, maybe I'm to blame. Maybe I need to lighten up and just light one up.
