I already know what you’re thinking. Really? Your first review is Doug Benson’s Super High Me? You’re one of those degenerate, unemployed douche bags who lives off a trust fund and spends more time high than productive, huh? Let me assure you that I am. But even the unwise to pot smoking individual can learn a thing or two from Super High Me.

The premise is along the same line of Super Size Me by Morgan Spurlock. Spurlock ate McDonalds for thirty days and got tests run on him while doing it. Doug Benson took the same approach with a catch. He had to quit smoking for thirty days and have tests run on him. Then the next thirty days Benson would smoke around the clock and have the same tests run on him while high.

The tests actually surprised me to an extent. One of them was a psyhic test, in which Benson had to guess the shape on a card he couldn’t see. When Benson was sober, he only got one of twenty five right. But when high, Benson managed to get seven of them right. Pot heads=Psyhics?

According to the results, pot actually made him smarter as well. While on his thirty days of soberity, Doug took the S.A.T. test and scored himself a 970. When he took the test nicely toasted, he got a 1030. Not much of a difference in terms of overall IQ, but it does make me wonder. Maybe Benson was made to smoke pot and do stand up for a living.

Naturally the film was shot in California, mostly because of the states liberal views on marijuana. And the film does a good job by informing the otherwise uncaring folk. It goes deep into the medical marijuana world. How it started, how it’s evolved, the stuggle between state and federal agencies over it, and most importantly, where to get it. Super High Me explains it all.

If your a fan of Doug Benson, Super High Me is worth checking out. It has something for everybody. Wanna laugh? There’s random tapings of comedy shows he does along with the project. And with too many guest appearances to name, I’m sure you’ll find at least three or four comedians mixed in that you like. Don’t have a sense of humor? Absorb the edumacation.
