Summary: Not what i expected
Comment: 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.

Summary: Super High Me... without the Super High...
Comment: 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.

Summary: funny movie
Comment: 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.

Summary: It fits the bill
Comment: While this movie certainly lacks certain production value qualities the base idea is a good one. Comedian Doug Benson, after watching 'Super Size Me' writes a joke about how he would like to do his own version called... 'Super High Me.' As it turns out someone in the audience thought it was a decent idea and there you have it, a movie.
While not of the same stunning conclusionary aspects of Super Size Me Benson's travels through 30 days of sobriety followed by 30 days of smoking marijuana consistently for the entirety of his day.
This was my first introduction to Doug Benson and I found him stealing almost every scene, picture in your mind his Mother while she waits for him and you'll get an idea what I'm talking about. The science, the honesty, and the realization that a standup comic could probably make that lifestyle work for him, all make this movie a top pick for anyone of the Ganja variety. You will learn a little bit about the effects of marijuana on both the body and memory recall, as well as a bit of psuedoscience testing psychic ability.
Overall a very funny film but enjoy what there is to be said the various ironies throughout. If you pick this up expecting it to be well crafted as a piece of film you will be sorely disappointed.

Editorial Reviews:

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.
