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.
Got this movie from Netflix and checked it out. It was pretty intersting especially since they ran tests when he was clean and when he was high and compared the results. Interesting that he scored higher on the SAT's when stoned

It's currently #10 in my queue, I should have it in a week. I thought it looked interesting as about 75% of the movies I get on Netflix are documentaries.

On tap for tonight: The Bridge
Over the span of a year, director Eric Steel's cameras capture tormented souls attempting to commit suicide by leaping from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. Through poignant interviews with family, friends and eyewitnesses, the film reveals a common thread of depression, despair and chronic mental illness. This provocative documentary further reinforces the landmark's iconic legacy as the world's most popular suicide destination.

That was also the second test he took. People typically score ~100 points higher when they take it a second time.

Unless he took an SAT shortly before starting the experiment , all you can say is that pot didn't significantly detract from his performance.

A guy smoking pot...exciting.

I'd rather see him get hooked on smack/meth and try to kick the habit.

And fail.

Your jealousy is all too evident. :nopity:
Is there something stopping me from getting high if I feel like it? Yes, actually. I just get too self reflective and end up depressed, so Im an alcohol guy... but the stoner kids at school, while occasionally entertaining in their stupors, really don't impress me much.

Actually, from my own experiance when I took a course about 20 political philosophers through out time, I came to read about Hanna Arendt who I couldn't understad her way of thinking, so I rolled one and took a sip or two, and let it sink in for a minute before I looked in the book again.

Thanks to the mighty Jahjah I could now fully comprehend the rest of the book, and Hanna Arendt became my favourite philosopher, of those I came to read about, together with Edward Said. Try it!

I also manage to pull better wheelies after I've had me a beer or two. Never tried studying with it though.. :biggrin:

I was trolling.. Good thing that you know your limits! You still go to school, I thought you was old and had served and all..? To a sober person anybody on anything will look different, to much in a way, or similar. I just let people be who the want to as long as they don't harm me or anybody else.

LOL, once I dl'd a clip called "swedish hade core smokers" that made me laugh a lot. Teenagers (17-19yrs) acting in a similar way to those little **** above.

Graduate from college? What's grad school? Yeh, guess most people are a bit younger that you then, hence "kids". Sounded like you was still in high school before..

Hmmmmm, what were you expecting to see when you dloaded a movie called, "SWEDISH HARD CORE SMOKERS"

:busted:
Ehh, don't quite remember as a few years have passed now, but it arose some kind of curiousity, maybe it was out of a social study perspective. :D

I laughed because the DEA agents were wearing those paper dust masks when they were carting out the weed from the cannabis dispensary :crazy:
:crazy: to us, yes, but to the unknowing general public it serves a point in their propaganda war. In 1980's Sweden The National Board of Health and Welfare equaled cannabis with heroin, and we bought it. No jk. :banana:
