Description
Determined to find out the true effects of marijuana on the human body, stand-up comedian and former Stoner of the Year Doug Benson documents his experience avoiding pot for 30 days and then consuming massive amounts of the drug for 30 days. More than just an amusing story of one man's quest to get super high, this documentary also examines the hotly contested debate over medical marijuana use.

 What a waste of time. December 2, 2008

I got asleep watching this video. Very boring, not well done. Misleading. The main character at the end is totally wasted and he just says that everything is OK, no problem, he shows that he just could not drive or operate machinery, but his body is OK, just the they forgot that his eyes, and his soul are totally crippled.
 Not Just a Stoner Comedy November 25, 2008
Emily (Oklahoma City, OK)
The documentary Super High Me is described by its star, comedian Doug Benson, as "Super Size Me with weed instead of Mc Donald's." The film follows Benson as he stops smoking marijuana for 30 days, and then smokes it for 30 days while examining the effects on his mind and body. While Benson's summary of the film is accurate, it is much more than just that. It examines the movement to expand medical marijuana use in California, and the opposition they face from the DEA.
This movie fulfills its role as a documentary while entertaining its audience. You'll get a chuckle from Benson's commentary on his project. The results from his physical and mental tests will probably surprise you too, as will the insight into the marijuana community.
While the movie is informative, I feel it could have gone a little farther into the history of the drug and the movement for its legalization. The test of the effects of marijuana on ESP may also have some people taking this movie a little less seriously.
Super High Me is a fun and informative movie for anyone, not just fans of stoner comedies (although they would love this movie as well.)
 Not what i expected November 2, 2008
Micheal Hunt (Hellbourne)
Ignore the writing on the cover that says this is up there in the ranks of Cheech & Chong ... this doesnt compare.... it's a documentary about a comedian who doesn't smoke pot for 30 days, then smokes pot for the next 30 days.... but I couldn't really see any point to this other then promoting the comedian, and a political stance against the DEA.
It has a few funny jokes, but not enough for me to think it was nothing but a political argument documentary.
 Super High Me... without the Super High... October 29, 2008
Cody M. Gorman (Academia, United States)
I just finished watching this movie, and my next course of action is to buy it. I really enjoyed watching this movie, and I think that all people, pot-smokers or not, should watch this movie, as it debunks many of the myths concerning pot use that are prevalent today. Most people know that government propaganda usually over-exaggerates risks, but few people know just how safe marijuana really is. This movie is an eye-opener.
That being said, I am very, very, very disappointed with Doug Benson's performance. If you watch closely (or, hell, not even that closely...), you will notice that he almost never inhales. Not once during the movie did I see him inhale. It was obviously a gimmick, and I really resent the fact this man was chosen for this role. He gives a bad name to pot-smokers. I doubt he was even high for the majority of the movie...
Great movie. Would have been much better if the main character actually did what he was claiming to do, but the message was left unharmed, and that was the point of the movie.
 funny movie October 5, 2008

this movie was ok. i thought it would be more informative like super size me was. but it was mostly his stand up comedy. this was pretty funny but i was expecting more.
