Super High Me

This movie is basically a take off of Super Size Me where a guy eats nothing but McDonalds for 30 days and sees how that effects his body and life, but instead of eating McDonalds he smokes marijuana.

Now, the idea of this interested me a lot. But the execution of this movie wasn’t as good as I think it could have been. To start with the guy smoking all the weed, Doug Benson, is a comedian that already smokes a lot of pot. So, right off the bat they have to do 30 days of him not smoking the wacky tabacy, so that they can do tests on him when he isn’t under the influence. Now, Doug has been a heavy smoker for the past 17 years of his life… 30 days isn’t going to make that much of a difference to the tests I don’t think. They should have gotten a guy (or girl) that has never smoked ganja before to do this. On the upside the guy is a comedian, so they show a bunch of his stand up stuff that relates around reefer, which is probably the bests parts of the movie.

Doug takes a few different tests before and after his 30 day relationship with Mary Jane; a lung capacity test, a SAT test, a sperm count test, an ESP or psychic test and he also get weighed before and after. Although this sounds like a lot, really the tests were done pretty poorly and I would have liked to have seen more health tests taken.

If you want to know how the tests turned out… well you’ll just have to watch the movie. Or google it? If dope and that sort of thing interests you then I would suggest watching Super High Me. It’s not as good as Super Size Me, but it’s worth a rental.
