No, I'm not describing my state of consciousness. I'm talking about the movie that stars stand-up stoner comedian Doug Benson. It's based on the movie Super Size Me by Morgan Spurlock, in which Spurlock eats nothing but McDonalds for 30 days. Except in Super High Me Benson does it with marijuana. First he goes 30 days without smoking, then 30 days smoking constantly. The whole time he is undergoing various physical and psychological tests under a doctor's supervision. It's a mildly entertaining film, and Benson is funny at times. There's also lots of footage of various LA dispensaries and even a few DEA busts of those dispensaries. Scary stuff.
I was disappointed though that Benson didn't make more of the parallel with Spurlock's film. In the Spurlock film he is told by his doctor before the 30 days are up that he should stop eating only fast food as it is having some serious negative health consequences. By comparison, Benson's doctor found no significant differences between his 30 days with and without marijuana. I think he should have made a much bigger deal about that. A nice summary at the end comparing the health risks of legal fast food with the negligible effects of smoking lots of marijuana would have brought the point home. Instead the film just sort of ends.
Regardless, this is a film every stoner should see.
