How High is a stoner comedy film released in 2001 directed by Jesse Dylan and starring Redman and Method Man. It follows the story of two marijuana enthusiasts, Jamal and Silas, who accidentally propagate a new strain of weed while smoking their friend Ivory's ashes. This weed turns out to be magical and enables them to ace their college entrance exams and be granted admission to Harvard University.
Once at Harvard, Jamal and Silas struggle to reconcile their street smarts with the academic rigor of Harvard's ivy league. They encounter a series of absurd challenges, including Jamal catching the eye of a beautiful and intellectual fellow student named Lauren, while Silas' romantic pursuits lead him to a professor's wife. Together, they navigate the trials and tribulations of college life and try to keep their magical weed supply from running dry.
The film's comedic style is a unique blend of slapstick and satire that lampoons not only the stoner lifestyle but also the academic world. It features several cameos, including Method Man's Wu-Tang Clan bandmate, RZA. How High received mixed reviews from critics but was a box office success, grossing over $31 million worldwide. It has since become a cult classic and is regarded as a quintessential stoner comedy.
