Who the heck is Doug Benson? Well you’ll find out if you watch “Super High Me,” a stoner movie that’s actually a documentary about how California is fast-becoming the land of legally consumed marijuana.

Benson is a dry, understated comedienne who likes to smoke pot a lot. At the behest of a young filmmaker named Michael Blieden, Benson decided to take one of his pot jokes, one based on Morgan Spurlocks’s documentary “Super Size Me” - about the impact of eating at McDonald’s three-meals-a-day for 30 days - and make a movie out of it.
Benson goes a month without smoking any marijuana and then takes the SAT and a few other tests. Then he goes a month straight smoking nothing but marijuana, and takes those same tests again. It’s intriguing.

But the most interesting thing about the documentary is how it shows first-hand the booming medical marijuana business in Los Angeles (aka Los Ganjales) and Oakland (aka Oaksterdam). Sometimes federal anti-drug agents show up and ruin the party, but overall the potheads seem to be settling down and rooting themselves in.
