I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

For fans of Doug Benson's comedy, be it stand-up or "Best Week Ever", you'll get more out of this documentary on him as he goes 30 days with weed and 30 days without then other viewers. If one goes into the film expecting an intelligent documentary on the pros Vs. cons of weed you'll be vastly disappointed. One only needs to know that this was made 'in cahoots' (the film's words not mine) with 420 Partners Llc to know which side of the fence this film firmly sits on and thus skews the 'infomation' in that direction and to suit it's need. Propaganda in a way, not to say it's not (vaquely) entertaining in bits and pieces, it is. Just go into the film knowing that it's slanted and you'll be fine.My Grade: C-

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.

Before saying anything about this movie let me say this. I do not smoke pot.I rented this movie thinking oh great, a funny stand-up doing material and thats what it was. A stand-up, who got all his stand-up friends to do little interviews about smoking pot. I gotta say, was laughing like crazy through most of it. But mixed in, was a lot of serious opinion and anger about government control of pot and clashes between state and federal laws.If you are looking for something truly scientific and credible, this isn't it. If you are looking for a good time and don't mind some opinions, I highly highly recommend this movie. Doug Benson is funny as are his friends who appear and even the studies are funny.Watch it, enjoy it, don't take it seriously!
