Blieden's notes:

I was at Patton Oswald's wedding in 2005 and Doug Benson came up to me and said "I'd really like to work with you on something. There's this joke in my act that I think would make a great movie." The joke is about the movie Supersize Me, in which Morgan Spurlock ate McDonalds all day every day for 30 days. Doug suggests the same concept, only with pot - "Super High Me".

Over lunch a couple days later we seriously discussed making a documentary about a guy who smokes pot for 30 days straight. I suggested that perhaps in order to add some gravitas, that the ON month be followed by an OFF month in which Doug quits smoking pot. Doug liked the idea, but argued that the ON month should come second because "that was going to be the fun part."

I think that Doug and I understood the potential controversy that the idea could generate, and we hesitated for several months without really trying to get the movie made. In casual conversations, Netflix had expressed some interest in getting involved, but neither Doug nor I made a serious push. Then one day I ran into prodcuer Alex Campbell who had just learned of Los Angeles's thriving medical marijuana movement. I casually mentioned the Doug Benson project and Campbell siezed on it. Six months later we were in production. Without Alex the movie would have languished indefinitely.

Super High Me was, in its inception, a light hearted comedy about a guy who smokes pot. And even though the movie covers weighty public policy issues and the ongoing battle of State's Rights, I think we succeeded in making a light hearted comedy about a guy who smokes pot. That being said, I feel it is important to acknowledge that while I am pro-marijuana, it is certainly not a good thing for everyone. It may sound ridiculous to say this, but I hope that all the snappily edited footage of people enjoying marijuana, laughing, and behaving responsibly doesn't reduce the idea of pot use to a simple argument of good or bad. Even a marijuana advocate like myself knows that it's much more complicated than that.

It is my sincere hope that people who are against marijuana see this film and find support (even unintentional support) for their views. Similarly, I hope that people who like marijuana see the film and find support for theirs.

I will say this. We did try to find people to come out very strongly against against marijuana, but in California that's harder than you'd think. And when people ask me what I've been up to recently, even people outside of California, when I tell them about Super High Me, they always laugh and say the same thing. "I gotta see that."

Super High Me should be in theaters in early 2008.
