"Super High Me" is from the maker of "Super Size Me" and involves his use of massive amounts of marijuana for 30 days, followed by 30 days of going cold turkey.
From Alexis Hanawalt's blog:
I'm editing a documentary called Super High Me. It's Supersize Me, but with pot. Doug Benson, who might be famous, spent 30 days sober as a saint, then spent 30 days smoking, eating and vaporizing medicinal marijuana non-stop. Our "b-stories" include the activists, dispensary owners, politicians and patients who comprise the medical marijuana movement. The situation in California is basically anarchy and chaos. Every jurisdiction is handling the "legality" of Prop. 215 in a different way. Some prosecute. Most ignore. Los Angeles has over 200 dispensaries now.
I don't smoke pot. I never have. We have 600 high definition hours of people talking about pot. Pot heads. Talking. 600 hours. In HD!
The finished film will be amazing. It might change things.
"Super High Me" will be shown at SxSW 2008.
Because the film was shot in California, everything they did was "legal."
