Alright, googlers, this is an old post you're reading - there's plenty of new info about Super High Me you can read all about by clicking "News" on the left.
I'm editing a documentary called Super High Me. It's Supersize Me, but with pot. Doug Benson, who might be famous, spent 30 days sober as a saint, then spent 30 days smoking, eating and vaporizing medicinal marijuana non-stop. Our "b-stories" include the activists, dispensary owners, politicians and patients who comprise the medical marijuana movement. The situation in California is basically anarchy and chaos. Every jurisdiction is handling the "legality" of Prop. 215 in a different way. Some prosecute. Most ignore. Los Angeles has over 200 dispensaries now.
I don't smoke pot. I never have. We have 600 high definition hours of people talking about pot. Pot heads. Talking. 600 hours. In HD!
The finished film will be amazing. It might change things.
I'm trying out the Walter Murch thing of standing while I edit. "Like baking a cake." It's interesting... certainly healthier than sitting... Makes it harder for the producer to hover behind me all day...

Jessica discovered a kitten in our front yard. Posted on craigslist. Got this response:
My family lost a kitten around Lincoln bvd. and I hope
you take care. My kids are not ready, to take care of
a kitten and They don"t know I am writing. I think it
may be the same kitten. He is black and white and has
a scar on his ear where there is no fur. If this is
the same, I hope you can give him a good home because
my kids are too young and let him get out and I want
them to know that animals are not easy to care for. I
hope you understand.
His name is Conrad.
