For The Documentary Fan
“Super High Me” (2008)
When filmmaker Morgan Spurlock made “Super Size Me,” he filmed himself eating only McDonalds food for 30 days. In “Super High Me,” comedian Doug Benson takes that concept way further – and higher.

Benson speaks with activists, dispensary owners, politicians, and people who rely on medicinal cannabis. You’ll be surprised on some of the changes Benson undergoes over his marijuana-fueled month. His IQ? His sperm count?! Watch to find out.
“Rolling Papers” (2015)

For The Comedy Fan
“Half Baked” (1998)
Legendary comedians Dave Chappelle and Neal Brennan join forces for this cannabis cult classic. The film failed miserably at the box office and received harsh criticism – it has a 16% on Metacritic. But fans have fallen in love with the stoner comedy over the last few decades. In the film, a group of friends sell stolen pot to raise bail money to rescue their friend, who accidentally killed a police horse by feeding it junk food. It’s no Pulp Fiction, but you’ll surely be entertained.
“Dough” (2015)
In this British-Hungarian film, a Jewish baker struggles to meet ends as his business fails. One day, the baker’s apprentice puts marijuana in the dough, and business booms. This is one film you won’t want to watch if you don’t have snacks on hand.
