Super High me


Super High Me is a documentary kind of like the McDonald movie "super size me". Super High Me is about Doug Benson, a comedian that is well known for his Marijuana use. He decides that he wants to run an experiment on himself to test the effect that marijuana would have on his body if he did it all day every day for 30 days.

The way the experiment starts off is that he must first stop using marijuana for 30 days straight and this would be the control in the experiment. It will also show us how hard or easy it would be for a life time user of marijuana to stop cold turkey for 30 days. During his 30 days of sobriety Doug took various tests that he would take again during his 30 days of being high. His physicians would then compare the test scores and decide whether the use of marijuana for 30 days non stop would be dangerous or inconsequential. Doug had no problem quitting for 30 days, he didn't go through any withdrawals. After his 30 days of smoking weed non stop he was surprised that at this point he wasn't tired of using marijuana. He also surprisingly scored higher on his SAT while high then while sober. He scored almost 100 points more. His sperm count was also significantly higher, contrary to the expectations of medical studies. At the end of the film his doctors concluded that the effects on Benson's health from his use of cannabis were generally inconsequential. The greatest change was the fact that he gained 8 pounds, but this is minor since he could control that.
