As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

I had seen Super High Me on the shelves of my local video store but never would have rented it. I mean it is one of those movies that you can look at the cover and know exactly what you're in for and I'm not big on pot and I think something like this is just dumb. So why did I end up seeing it? Well it premiered on Netflix and I guess I had nothing better to do and thought I would give it a chance but it provided exactly what I thought. In all honestly it wasn't quite the complete waste that I thought it would be. I guess I have to give some credit to film maker, star, writer and comic Brian Unger for at least trying to work in some actual information and documentary worthy information by tackling the legalization and distribution of pot in California but I really don't thin anyone is going to come away from this educated or feel any differently about pot if you like it or hate. Work in some dirty comedy routines with a lot of four letter words and I think stoners will love the movie but the average movie watcher will groan and be done with the whole thing in the first 15 minutes. While Unger touches on the medical side effects of what he's doing he hardly makes it known because clearly as a stoner he supports pot and legalization and everything he is doing. He spends more time finding different ways to smoke it and promote it. The film is watchable if not just barely and I hope we don't have to sit through anything else he does and I hope the film's namesake Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) sues him for taking a truly great film and turning it into stoner trash. Skip this unless you're high and wanna giggle like Beavis and Butthead. 5/10

This is a tough one... I feel we would have had a very complete informative, plus comical ride if the guy had not actually smoked but stuck with the vaporizing. Smoking, correct me if I am wrong here, smoking anything, can not be good for that soft tissue structure that are the lungs! He could have tackled two birds with one stone in this even more so, if he cut out smoking because then, we have a better picture of the effects of THC...Very good idea for documentary - would be interesting to see more tests on this topic, to open it up a bit more. Is a tough one though because it is really recreationally widespread that sometimes the mecidinal side is over-shadowed. Maybe some more seriousness would make it more of a documentary than this - but boy was it a good watch - stoner or non stoner, this has it's comedy about it.

In reality it is very sad to see this junk passed off as a documentary. This is just a joke about a bunch of stoners.But what is really sad is how it exposes the reality of California's medical marijuana laws. I voted for it to allow its proper use for sick and ailing citizens. This "movie" shows what a farce these dispenser's are. It's no wonder the DEA is busting them. And in the end, there will be a major backlash against the law due to the rampant abuse by these stoners. So its sad, because in the end the folks that need the drug will be the real losers.Solution? Sure, eliminate ALL these ridiculous dispenser and only allow the Rx to be filled by REAL pharmacies. Also, have the local DAs investigate bogus Rx's and bust the doctors looking to make a quick buck.Sorry stoners, but high school is over, time to get a life...Mike

I watched this so-called documentary in the hope that it would shed some light on the true effects of marijuana, even just on one man. However, the whole experiment was so lacking in empirical evidence, meaningful scientific controls, or detail about the exact nature of what Doug Benson was smoking, or in what quantities, as to be worthless.The fact that Doug Benson only gave up pot for a month before starting the experiment all-but invalidated the results, especially as the man spent most of his life until that point, out of his head.The ultimate misleading conclusion of this documentary seemed to be that pot only diminishes one's mathematical abilities, but otherwise, the effects are all positive. What seemed to be ironically ignored, especially by Doug Benson, was that he spent the entire movie in a droopy eyed, slightly slurred state of very mild stupor, that may feel great to him, but is very uncomfortable to those around him.It was interesting that known marijuana problems, such as paranoia were barely touched upon, and even examinations of respiratory risks were restricted to measurement of lung capacity, with no discussion of whether marijuana presents a greater or lesser risk than tobacco to lung cancer.The sad thing is, this documentary could have been a great opportunity to educate about any benefits or hazards connected to marijuana usage, but instead it was just a pathetic excuse for a self-avowed stoner to go on the ultimate bender.Self-indulgent rubbish.
