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.

Summary: Could have been better....
Comment: Let me start by saying that I am a proponent of both decriminalization and legalization (with regulations) so this review is not of the topic but the way it was presented. My review is basically that the topic was solid but Doug didn't follow it through. It's like writting a thesis paper and having a strong introduction and not enough information in the body of the paper. He could have done a lot more simply by giving more facts about marijuana and it's use. I expected something more like Super Size Me meets Grass, and sadly this isn't that movie.

Summary: A let down
Comment: Doug Benson is a funny comedian but I didn't find him to be very funny in this movie. I think he got stoned beyond the point of being funny most of the 30 days he was high. Most of the content about legislation was common knowledge so I didn't learn anything knew. The most interesting part to me was the closing of legal, medical cannabis stores in California due to discrepancies between federal and state laws regarding marijuana. In the movie they show cannabis stores in California being shut down by the DEA (federal officials) despite the state law which has legalizing it. It was very shocking to see stores get closed down at random and have their patient records as well as their supply of marijuana confiscated and never returned even after they were legally allowed to reopen. It really shows the holes in the legal system of the U.S. Other than that, I think the concept of the movie had a lot of potential but was neither funny nor informative for the most part.

Summary: interesting and funny
Comment: Overall it was interesting and funny. It had some slow moments and spent too much time on California's prop 215. Doug Benson looks the same stone as he does sober, and his jokes didn't suffer when he wasn't high. It's worth an hour and half of your time to for a few good laughs.

Summary: Not bad for a movie based on a joke
Comment: Doug Benson is an adept comedian I have been a fan ever since I saw the MarihuanaLoghues on Bill Maher's 1st season on HBO. Here he takes his love of the GANJ and turns it into an hour and 1/2 "documentary" about being straight and about being blitzkrieged on the wacky tobaccy. Both for 30 days, the latter is obviously not new ground for this seasoned stoner and this might take away from its impact a little. Really this is a film about Benson's standup and it is interesting to see him tackle his job in both headspaces. The most potent thing about SUPER HIGH ME is the footage of medical marijuana raids that the DEA and federal government deem necessary even though the state of California and its citizens have there own laws. Craig X and his temple 420, as well as Marc Emery and Dennis Peron all add to the proceedings as well. It is entertaining and informative to a degree and the dialogues between Doug and his fellow comedians while brief are humorous and interesting, (Bob Odenkirk wants to smoke pot twice a year?) The editing could be a little tighter and I wouldn't have minded an extra with a full routine by Mr. Benson. Still a very worthwhile rental for those in the right "state" of mind.
