Very disappointing...

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

the main character seems to have some kind of depression problem. he is not motivated, has hardly an intellect, and half-asses his efforts the entire time throughout the movie. okay, i like to smok, a lot, but this movie was really a waste of time. the main character is such a slob lookin kind of guy, and he acts like a slob too. i am upset to see this man representing how good weed can be, or how it doesn't screw you up when you smoke, cause he looks blazed a lot. also, he is so damn boring, i can't remember his name, the is NO co-star or anything like that, and the movie has no direction. you would think if someone was serious about making a movie to sway public opinion, this would be kept off the shelves. on the plus side, you might get a few laughs in, as i did, but overall, wow. pretty much a waste of time.

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.This is my first review for a documentary, so I try to review it to the best of my ability... Documentaries, by my understanding, are supposed to inform you of a situation, while showing multiple examples of it. By seeing the plot, I actually would find this an interesting film, as I would have no idea what would happen to this guy. Super Size Me was informational, and showed what happened to a guy who ate McDonald's for 30 days straight. With marijuana, the outcome would be most interesting, especially how the drug is considered the safest. By the end of the film, he literally had no affects from it and the film ending with him standing on stage, admitting he wanted to smoke another. That's how bad the film was, and I rated it one higher just because I found the guy pretty funny.. I don't recommend. 2/10.

Too bad this wasn't a serious documentary arguing the case for the legalization of marijuana instead of a convoluted mess consisting mostly of stand up comedians. Who the hell wants to sit through an hour and a half watching a totally spoiled, unlikeable pot head either being on or off pot to make whatever point is trying to be made? It's all unrealistic anyway. Sure, maybe this was the effects of pot on some slacker in California who has nothing better to do than to stand up in front of a stoned audience at night and tell jokes, but conduct the same experiment on someone who has to work in a factory all day or someone who is responsible for teaching young children math or someone who has to swim in he Olympics and let's see if the results are the same. I'm not saying this as someone who is anti-pot. The one and only legitimate point that was made during this movie is that if pot was legalized and taxed it could produce billions of dollars in revenue for the United States, and I agree with that. What I am saying is this is a stupid movie. The case they seem to be making is smoke pot every hour of every day and everything will be okay and that is simply moronic.

I watched this so-called documentary in the hope that it would shed some light on the true effects of marijuana, even just on one man. However, the whole experiment was so lacking in empirical evidence, meaningful scientific controls, or detail about the exact nature of what Doug Benson was smoking, or in what quantities, as to be worthless.The fact that Doug Benson only gave up pot for a month before starting the experiment all-but invalidated the results, especially as the man spent most of his life until that point, out of his head.The ultimate misleading conclusion of this documentary seemed to be that pot only diminishes one's mathematical abilities, but otherwise, the effects are all positive. What seemed to be ironically ignored, especially by Doug Benson, was that he spent the entire movie in a droopy eyed, slightly slurred state of very mild stupor, that may feel great to him, but is very uncomfortable to those around him.It was interesting that known marijuana problems, such as paranoia were barely touched upon, and even examinations of respiratory risks were restricted to measurement of lung capacity, with no discussion of whether marijuana presents a greater or lesser risk than tobacco to lung cancer.The sad thing is, this documentary could have been a great opportunity to educate about any benefits or hazards connected to marijuana usage, but instead it was just a pathetic excuse for a self-avowed stoner to go on the ultimate bender.Self-indulgent rubbish.
