Super High Me Page #2

Hey, how's it going, chief?

Can I get your i.d.?

Yes, sir.

[Singing indistinctly]

What are you looking for?

Sativa?

Hybrid.

Hybrid?

Any codominant?

What you got?

This a pain type of thing, or

you just want the head to be up?

These are two jokes that I've

written since I stopped getting

high three days ago.

Just to show you where I'm at.

And how important marijuana is

to what I do.

"Why isn't there a

mildew-removal product called

'mill-don't'?

[Laughter]

See, that's not too bad.

I haven't lost it.

[Laughs]

And here's the other one.

The new slogan for old navy --

have you seen the new

commercials?

It's no longer, like, old TV

stars being stupid.

Now it's trying to be hip and

cool and matrixy, and the slogan

is "get your fash on."

You know, "get your fash on!

Get your fash on!"

Which was probably -I was

thinking it was probably a

rejected slogan for fascism.

When they were sitting around

coming up with slogans for

fascism to try to get it off the

ground, somebody's like, "how

about 'get your fash on'?"

"Get out of here.

That's stupid.

We've decided to go with

"fascism -watch what happens."

There's a lot of people who

smoke a lot of pot and have had

quite a lot of success.

I don't think one precludes the other.

Just a different path, as they say.

What's your opinion about

medical marijuana?

I'm just curious.

You're just curious what's my

opinion about medical marijuana?

Well, there is no such thing as

medical marijuana.

In the '70s, the National

Organization for the Reform of

Marijuana Laws failed in their

attempts to legalize marijuana

for recreational purposes, much

to my chagrin in college,

because I did smoke, I did

inhale, and I ate brownies.

So then, what they did was very

intelligently -they rewrapped

their argument.

They repackaged it as a medical

argument because cannabinoids,

like THC and other stuff -they

do have some value medically,

but not at all what the

activists are saying they have.

Right.

When I wear my hat as a

private citizen, I think our war

on drugs has completely failed,

that marijuana should be legal

for recreational purposes, and

that's my private-citizen hat,

but when you come to me and I'm

wearing my little tie and

stethoscope and playing doctor

here, do I ever ask a patient to

inhale the crude combustion

products of a dried plant that I

have no idea what else is in it,

and I don't know what strength

you're getting -is it good sh*t?

Is it bad sh*t?

Is it stuff that you grew on

your own, you got from Mexico,

or did you get b.c. Bud from

Colombia?

What's in it?

Okay, go ahead -blow.

[Air hisses]

Keep going, keep going, even

though you think there's nothing there.

Okay, that's Fin relax.

I need you to turn your head

toward either wall, doesn't

matter which.

Give me a nice hard cough.

[Coughs]

Beautiful.

What's the turn the head to

the side part about?

So you don't get coughed on?

Yeah, exactly.

I'm gonna grab your balls,

and I want you to cough in my face.

[Laughs]

So, you know, to cut to the

chase, you have not, after

years of doing this, you haven't

done any permanent damage that I

can tell.

[Bell dings]

Good morning.

Hi.

I have your date.

I have your test.

Ha ha, cheers!

# She's like my alcohol #

# I like the way that it's

killing me, killing me #

[bell dings]

Hey, good morning.

How are you?

Good, thank you.

Doug?

Pleasure to meet you.

Come on back.

Well, so you're doing this film,

and you've stopped using both

alcohol and pot.

I was wondering -what do you

like about pot?

What does it do for you when you smoke?

Um...

it just...

the simplest explanation I can

give is it just makes everything

more fun, you know?

It just makes...makes my brain

work differently, you know?

Yeah, it seems like it strangely

gives me a longer attention span.

So, yeah.

So it's been six days, and...

and I'm doing okay.

I don't think it's as addictive

as some people think.

Like, I only think about smoking

pot constantly.

That's the only time I think

about it.

[Bell dings]

I'm starting to learn --

making this movie is forcing me

to learn to actually be

interested in people and ask a

question after they answer the

first question.

Well, isn't it mostly people

asking you questions?

Well, we go around.

We've been spending a lot of

time in dispensaries with people

that are advocates for pot,

which I normally am not that

interested in.

I just want to smoke it, so...

welcome to the

Benson interruption, everybody.

But I also have not had a

drink in over a month, and that is --

[audience groans]

F*** it, you don't have to tell me.

It's the worst!

Somebody in the audience when

you said that you stopped

drinking actually said, "oh, he

loves to drink."

[Laughter]

She was really concerned that

you were going through this.

It's true, and I want you to

understand that is a f***ing sacrifice.

Like, that is what I'm giving

up, because the smoking -it's

not a sacrifice because I've

never said, "oh, I used to have

so many awesome times with my

friends smoking."

[Laughs]

Remember that party, when we

had cigarettes?

Remember that time?

Oh, we had too many

cigarettes that night!

I can't remember what happened!

I smoked so much.

Oh.

Boy, we had such a great time.

Yeah, I'm gonna unwind with some friends.

We're gonna, like, get a couple

packs of cigarettes and probably

just...go out on the porch.

[Bell dings]

So we're driving out to the

valley to find out about --

apparently, in north Hollywood,

there's a rogue cop who shows up

at dispensaries and shuts them down.

What's happening right now up

in North Hollywood is that we

have a local police officer who

is confused and perhaps hostile

to medical cannabis, and he has

sort of set about, at his

mission, to close the

dispensaries, and that's

unfortunate, because what we're

seeing now is sort of a

breakdown in due process.

I'm just curious about what a

rogue cop is, you know?

Is it just one guy who just puts

his uniform on at home and looks

in the mirror and says, "be

careful out there," and goes

around shutting things down?

Do you think a rogue cop's gonna

show up while we're in there?

No.

This is Don Duncan.

Hey, how you doing?

This is Doug Benson.

He's the hero of our movie.

So to speak.

It looks like this

Mr. Smith just went renegade, man.

You know, I'm a real thing.

This is a real business license.

This is what we do.

And, of course, the first two

months, they thought that,

"okay, black dude's about to

come here and open up a dope shop."

I could feel it, okay?

But when it didn't turn out to

be that -"oh, actually, this

guy's an ex-scientist and

master's degree, blah, blah,

blah, and he's not turning into

this, and actually, it's pretty

damn good 'cause we got a free

security guard that patrols both

parking lots."

Then I was cool.

Then six months passed --

everything's cool.
