Super High Me is a 2007 documentary film directed by Michael Blieden and starring Doug Benson. The film follows Benson on a 30-day period of abstaining from cannabis, known as the "baseline", followed by a 30-day period of heavy cannabis consumption, dubbed the "super high me" phase. Throughout the film, Benson undergoes various tests to track the changes in his physical and mental health during the two phases.
The documentary also includes interviews with medical professionals, cannabis advocates, and opponents of legalization. It explores the effects of marijuana on the human body, the legal and medical issues surrounding its use, and the potential benefits and drawbacks of legalization. The film ultimately aims to shed light on the ongoing debate over medical marijuana and its potential role in society.
Super High Me was released to generally positive reviews and has become a cult classic in the stoner comedy genre. While some critics have criticized its uneven pacing and lack of depth, others have praised its humor and insightful commentary on the cannabis industry. The film has since inspired a number of parodies and imitations, including a 2017 Netflix series called Disjointed, which followed the daily operations of a fictional marijuana dispensary.
