The Christian Science Monitor posted a story in their A&E section about the rise in films with a focus on Marijuana. They seem to get the hint that it's a sign of the times, Marijuana is more accepted culturally now than it has been in ages. Here's a snip:

Call it cinema's stoned age. Films featuring characters using marijuana have mushroomed.

"Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay," the second movie to feature the titular pot-smoking characters, grossed nearly $15 million on its opening weekend, which might portend a big opening for August's "Pineapple Express," a Judd Apatow-produced comedy about a pot smoker and his supplier on the run. Also rolling out: "The Wackness," with Ben Kingsley as a bong-using psychiatrist; "Humboldt County," in which a medical student spends a summer in a marijuana-farming town; and "Super High Me," with comedian Doug Benson using the drug for 30 days.

I never even heard of The Pineapple Express, time to go watch it. Make sure to check out our review of Doug Benson's Super High Me.

I cooked up a little review of Doug Benson's "Super High Me", a documentary filmed in California wherein Doug smokes Marijuana for 30 days straight, to test the affects on his body and mind. Probably also to get super high. Here's a snip, click Read More for the full review:

Super High Me is a documentary by Doug Benson that started as a bit in his stand up comedy routine. He joked that Morgan Spurlock's movie; "Super Size Me" was a tease to stoners, because they watch a movie that is supposed to show the evils of fast food, but all they want is an apple pie and a double cheese burger-- his movie would be called "Super High Me" and he'd get high every day for 30 days. Some would argue that Doug's documentary didn't accomplish much, if anything, but I think it's part of an ongoing dialogue about safe access, the real affects of Marijuana on the body and mind and the hypocrisy of the U.S. Government. It's also a lot of fun to sit back and smoke a bowl to.
