Super High Me is a highly individualistic documentary that prioritizes a singular, personal narrative over a broader spectrum of identities. While it offers a critical look at institutional drug prohibitions, it fails to engage with a wide range of social issues. The film's structure centers almost entirely on Doug Benson's personal experimentation. This narrow focus results in a lack of diverse casting and a failure to address multifaceted identity politics or social hierarchies. Ultimately, the documentary functions more as a study of individual ability to act regarding substance use than as a comprehensive social exploration. It lacks the representation needed for a higher progressive rating.

Official Synopsis
Determined to find out the true effects of marijuana on the human body, stand-up comedian and former Stoner of the Year Doug Benson documents his experience avoiding pot for 30 days and then consuming massive amounts of the drug for 30 days. More than just an amusing story of one man's quest to get superhigh, this documentary also examines the hotly contested debate over medical marijuana use.
