Directed by Michael Blieden.

Starring Douglas Benson.

Taking inspiration from Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me, Michael Blieden's documentary Super High Me charts what happens to comedian Doug Benson as he spends thirty days smoking marijuana. Benson also abstains from the drug for thirty days so that the movie can highlight the various differences between clean-living and waking and baking. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

"So I'd never seen any of Doug Benson before and I'm really not a pot person, but some co-workers were going to see Super High Me at SXSW this year and it looked fun so I tagged along.I really liked it... basic premise: Doug Benson, comedian, off pot and alcohol for 30 days, on for 30 days.

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 th ... " [More]
