"Super High Me" is a 2007 documentary about the effects of smoking marijuana non-stop for 30 days. The documentary stars comedian Doug Benson. The documentary's name is a play on the documentary "Super Size Me".

"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. [ [http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2007/01/17/doug_benson_com.php Gothamist: Doug Benson, Comedian ] ] Benson claims that "Super High Me" is "Super Size Me" with weed instead of McDonalds".

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". [ [http://blog.mlive.com/kalamazoo_gazette_extra/2007/09/say_high_to_doug_benson.html Say 'high' to Doug Benson - Kalamazoo Gazette Extra - MLive.com ] ] 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, and 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.

The film's poster features Benson laughing but an exaggerated amount of rolled joints were superimposed on his mouth. An early DVD cover was to feature the original image with a large cloud of cannabis smoke coming out of his mouth as he laughs, but later released the same one found on the film's poster.
