After years of turbulence and transformation, High Times—the legendary voice of cannabis culture—is staging a powerful comeback, reaffirming its place as a cornerstone of counterculture journalism.
Founded in 1974, High Times was more than a magazine; it was a movement. For decades, it served as a platform for cannabis advocacy, underground politics, and the arts. But in recent years, corporate restructuring and shifting media priorities had pulled the brand away from its radical origins.
Now, under new leadership and with renewed focus, High Times is actively returning to its roots. CEO Matt Stang, a longtime cannabis advocate and former High Times executive, has resumed control alongside other early editorial influencers. Together, they aim to restore the publication’s unique voice and mission: celebrating cannabis culture and promoting cannabis freedom without corporate dilution.
The magazine is reembracing its original editorial values—independent journalism, artistic expression, and fierce advocacy. Expect a revival of classic features such as underground grow reports, activist interviews, and creative profiles that honor the spirit of resistance the magazine was built on.
As the legal cannabis industry rapidly corporatizes, High Times’ return to form represents more than nostalgia—it’s a necessary realignment. It offers readers and advocates a trusted cultural anchor amidst a sea of commercialization, bringing back the authenticity that once defined the cannabis conversation.
With its relaunch, High Times is not just reclaiming its past—it’s reestablishing its future as the uncompromising voice of the cannabis counterculture.
