Super High Me
Comedian Doug Benson turns himself into the experiment, spending thirty days sober followed by thirty days smoking marijuana continuously, then submits to the same battery of medical, psychological, and cognitive tests before and after each stretch. Doctors check his lung capacity, sperm count, and memory scores, while a psychiatrist tracks his mood and motivation across both phases. Benson performs stand-up throughout, and the film cuts between his sets, his home life, and visits to California dispensaries and grow operations navigating the state's medical marijuana law. Interviews with NORML activists, dispensary owners, and law enforcement widen the film out from personal stunt to a survey of the marijuana legalization fight of the mid-2000s, including a dispensary raid that lands unexpectedly close to Benson's own reporting. Modeled openly on Super Size Me's format, the film keeps its tone comic rather than clinical, but the test results it reports on memory and cognition are genuine data points, not punchlines.
