So this movie is about a comedian named Doug Benson who wanted to do a documentary about getting high for 30 straight days (similar to "Super Size Me.") The movie is pretty funny. Before he goes on his binge, Doug goes to a doctor to do aptitude tests like taking the SAT's, lung capacity, sperm count, and even a psychic test. Then midway through his 30 day smoking binge, he performs the same tests to see if there were any long term effects. The movie was funny at times (when it shows his onstage act), boring at times (him doing nothing all day) and even informative at times (I wasn't aware that although California has legalized medical marijuana shops, it's still a federal crime, so the DEA can and will bust these shops). After watching the movie, now I even more strongly believe that marijuana should be legalized. C'mon, alcohol is more dangerous than getting high. When you drink, you could drink and drive, whereas if you get high, you just want to eat and pass out. Plus, you can cause permanent liver damage with alcohol, and last I checked, you can't die because you got stupider [from smoking too much]. Anyway, it's a good informative movie; worth a Netflix queue.
