Super High Me

Many of you remember 2004’s Super Size Me where Morgan Spurlock had McDonald’s every meal for 30 days. He documented the effects it had on his body and the results were not that surprising. He went to a doctor and had numerous tests done to see how the food damaged his personal health. He gained over 25 pounds and his cholesterol shot to dangerously high levels.

After smoking weed one day, comedian Doug Benson watched Super Size Me and was inspired.

Super High Me documents Benson not consuming marijuana for 30 days and then smoking and otherwise consuming cannabis every day for 30 days in a row. Benson claims that Super High Me is “Super Size Me with weed instead of McDonalds“. To make sure alcohol wouldn’t affect the results, he didn’t drink for the two months he filmed the documentary. The film also includes interviews with marijuana activists, dispensary owners, politicians and patients who comprise the medical marijuana movement. Benson claims that he tells kids “you should not smoke pot until you become a professional comedian”. The DVD was released on April 20, 2008.

Benson took various tests to gauge his physical and mental health both after 30 days of not using pot and after doing so for 30 days straight. Benson’s physician concluded that Benson’s health was unaffected by his use of cannabis. Benson did gain 8 pounds during his high month, but his sperm count actually increased and he scored seven times better on an ESP test (Seven versus one correct guesses out of 25). His overall score on an SAT test increased, though his math score was slightly lower.
