thejamesatron So when flicking through Netflix a title like this would usually catch ones (red)eye. I fancy watching something weed related and I've seen How High countless times already. I presumed that this documentary would be interesting, factual and funny. It turns out I was very wrong. Firstly I have to question his integrity to even host such a "Documentary". I don't think there is any true stoner out there who will ever look worried at the "challenge" of smoking weed for 30 days solid. For a lot of people smoking reefer all day is just a way of life. I'm pretty sure that this guy wasn't even inhaling when toking either. Secondly the kinds of questions such an idea could raise are intriguing and probably in someway useful, but the closest he ever really gets to any kind of research is a few short term memory tests. Cannabis is a subject that could be talked about for hours with much depth and with some entertainment but this "Documentary" really seems like a guy who has found a niche market and is trying to exploit it to increase his demographic by filling it with his stand-up. His stand up is a completely different conversation that I'm not even going to get into. Let's just say I chuckled barely a few times at best. If anything I just sat there and felt angry that this man has more weed than me and it is clearly wasted on him. To summarize, I should've watched How High.

mike (the_greekcanadian) I think this movie did an absolutely AMAZING job and portraying a well rounded idea for educated and non educated people on the topic of Medical marijuana..WHICH IS ALL MARYJUANA ON ALL PEOPLE..Considering an unmistakable amount of health benefits of Medical marijuana are for psycho-somatic DIS-EASES. Which I feel confident are the cause for over 95% of the most common dis-seases. Anyway Very Informative, But a the same time, Absolutely hilarious! Such a Creative and unique sense of humor! Very Quick styled. Intelligent jokes as well with a lot of Great speeches along the way by Wisely chosen interviewees. ( if thats a word)hahah.. (the people getting interviewed).Actually..im still kinda high..and well...This is the first time I've written a comment on any movie...And please understand the magnitude of that statement. I have over 700 gigs of movies and documentaries in storage space. 95% are docs. And THIS is the first movie that created the atmosphere along with some good white widow from Amsterdam for me to receive the intuition and create the motivation to Find the understanding and the potential benefits of WRITING A Comment FOR A MOVIE!!!HAHA Very long sentence. I paused the movie over 50 times to listen to jokes twice. Along with Writing down over 1000 words about names, statements, ideas, and understanding received directly from the heavens above and below.Anyway...GREAT MOVIE! ID WATCH IT AGAIN. WITH SOME CHOSEN INTELLECTUAL.......Smokers. haha..no..but seriously.. By the end of the movie...they well all be smokers.-PEACE AND LOVE--- Joan Bello's --- "THE BENIFITS OF MARIJUANA: -physical, psychological and spiritual -"

ElijahCSkuggs Doug Benson, a stand-up comic you may know from VH1, got the idea to make a documentary about himself smoking weed for 30 days. Ya know, just like Morgan Spurlock from Super-size Me where he ate McDonald's for 30 straight days. This has got to be one of the coolest ideas for a documentary in the history of documentaries. It was a pretty interesting flick, but unfortunately from a person who makes people laugh for a living, not very funny.The flick starts off with Doug not smoking for 30 days and then once that 30 day sequence ends he begins to smoke constantly for the next 30 days. With each sequence he's subject to a bunch of tests, from taking the SATs to a psychic test. Also, he doesn't quit his day job while he's making the film. You get to see him perform his acts when he has them booked, high or not.Doug Benson, is a pretty good comic. He has his own slightly flamboyant, immature style, that he's got down pretty well. He made me smile a few times and possibly giggle once or twice, but none of it was really that funny. He talks about pot, about how it's cool and he misses it, and that's about it. But if you're a fan of Doug's or stand up comedy, you should definitely find this flick funny. The two funniest scenes for me was when he wasn't on stage telling jokes, but when one of the producers was making a mess of Doug's apartment because of his butter fingers. And a fart gag with some tuba's was nice.Doug, even before he began this little experiment, was a pot-head. There's no doubt about it. And this is what makes the whole process not so intriguing. If you know a seasoned burn-out, you know they tend to just get stoned. They can easily be high in almost any situation. If Doug wasn't such a pot-head, it would have been much more entertaining. Morgan Spurlock was a very healthy person, so eating McDonald's nonstop would have drastic affects. But since Doug is a pot-head in real-life this little 30 day bender isn't really anything too amazing to watch. He's such a veteran smoker that he doesn't exhibit any humorous side-effects. You don't see him paranoid, see him geek-out in a laughing fit, seeing him cough his brains out etc. etc. Pretty much all the things that's made any Cheech and Chong flick incredibly funny. But I do thank him for being a pot-head, if he wasn't this movie probably would never have been made.Super High Me, was a cool documentary that gave some neat information concerning California laws, the history on Marijuana Dispensaries in California, and how many types of ways you can actually get high by THC. Lip balm. Believe it.I firmly believe that if Doug wasn't a seasoned smoker this film would have been much more funny. If you've seen one glassy-eyed pot-head you've seen them all, and unfortunately his smoking didn't help make his stand-up act any funnier either. Then again, maybe I'm to blame. Maybe I need to lighten up and just light one up.

mospeedracer02 This film is a lighthearted, funny, and wholesome presentation of (1) the conflict between state medical marijuana laws and federal anti-drug laws, and (2) the evidence that marijuana can't do you much harm. If you are steeped in cannabis culture or follow legal developments concerning medical marijuana, none of the information will be new to you. You already know that the war on drugs is out of step with the science about cannabis use, and you know the current state of the law affecting medical dispensaries. Benson is likable and wholesome, and the movie is pleasant and funny. Because the movie is not dense or righteous, it has the capacity to reach interested folks who aren't already in the know and don't want to hear a rant about legalization.
