Official website: http://www.truehigh.com/

This is available in several places including Netflix, Amazon and iTunes (soon). Enterprising internet users may also find it elsewhere.

At 12.01am on 4/20, HIGH will be available to view free on the website, and "possibly on a certain large video portal, but we'll see", for 24 hrs.

Looks pretty interesting, I'm about to watch now. I suspect there will be some biased material or omissions (hardly expecting a balanced expose).



Couldn't find another thread on this film, apologies if this is a duplicate!

I've seen ads for this film in a few places, I wasn't aware that it would be available on 4/20 but it will definitely be my film to watch that day now that I know. How would you rate it now after watching it?

It makes some good points but as suspected it's pretty one sided and doesn't present much (if any) material from the other sides.

It kind of loses the plot towards the end when it starts talking about doctors being jailed for prescribing strong painkillers; sure there was a point in there but it seemed to go on for too long.

Ah, that sucks. Take it that isn't much different from any other pot documentaries out there. Have you ever seen In Pot We Trust?

Just watched In Pot We Trust then. That seems a lot more balanced although it's still in favour of medical marijuana. Well made though.

Thats so true. there all about the same.

Yeah, it sucks. Although I've been seeing some of the new pro-marijuana ads online (sadly not on tv yet), and they are pretty good.
