Super High Me
Comedian Doug Benson, once named Stoner of the Year by High Times, spends thirty days sober and then thirty days smoking marijuana constantly, taking the same battery of medical, psychological, and cognitive tests before and after each period. Modeled openly on Super Size Me, the film follows Benson through blood tests, sperm counts, IQ exams, and a bone density scan, with doctors reading the results on camera and comparing them across both stretches. Between test sessions he tours California's medical marijuana dispensaries and growing operations, does stand-up sets while high, and talks with activists and lawyers fighting the state's drug laws, including a dispensary raid that lands in the middle of the shoot. The tone stays comic, but the film treats its own data seriously enough to let the numbers surprise him. It ends up less a stunt than a rough home experiment, one comedian's body used as the test case for a question the government has mostly avoided answering directly.
