Students for Sensible Drug Policy brings 500 young activists to the “epicenter” of marijuana law reform at their 11th Annual International Conference.
On the first day of this year’s Students for Sensible Drug Policy national conference in San Francisco, hundreds of budding young activists from across the country – and around the world – signed up for a tour of nearby Oaksterdam University and Harborside Health Center, giving most of the students their first look inside the world of medical marijuana. It was a rare chance to witness first-hand the common sense and compassionate policies that many have been working so hard to bring to their own home states, not to mention an incredibly exciting way to start a three-day weekend packed with seminars, activism, parties, awards, and plenty …READ MORE

Scandal at the Marijuana Policy Project
Thu Jan 14, 2010
By David Bienenstock and Richard Cusick
As part of an ongoing investigation, HIGH TIMES magazine has confirmed that at least seven full-time staff members of the Washington, DC based Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) have quit their jobs in protest of an alleged incident of sexual misconduct by MPP Executive Director Rob Kampia, which took place following an informal staff “happy hour” in August of 2009.
“I left MPP because of an incident involving Rob Kampia and a female employee, and because of how that incident was handled by organization leadership,” Former Director of Membership Salem Pearce told HIGH TIMES. “This is all part of a pattern of behavior by Rob, who was known in the office for his sexually explicit comments and actions towards female employees and interns, particularly ones half his age and desirous of full-time jobs with MPP. Rob's willingness to jeopardize the organization for sexual …READ MORE

Most professional wrestlers know how climb to the top rope and launch their body high in the air above a packed arena, ready to crash down upon an unwitting opponent, a concrete floor, a folding metal chair or even a well-concealed strip of barbed wire—but only Rob Van Dam can claim to do so while baked off his ass and wearing a psychedelic T-shirt with “420” emblazoned on the back.Among the most accomplished athletes ever to enter the wrestling ring, Van Dam dropkicked his way into the hearts of stoned grappling fans everywhere by proving that, while pot may bring inner peace, it doesn’t prevent you from perpetrating some extreme acts of simulated violence for the roaring approval of the masses. Along the way, Van Dam has boasted individual and tag-team championship belts on both the WWE and ECW circuits, earning accolades not only for the technical skill he shows in the ring, but also the larger-than-life personality that …READ MOREtags: 13 « add a comment

California Legalization Initiative Makes 2010 Ballot
Mon Dec 14, 2009
According to Richard Lee, founder of Oaksterdam University and proprietor of several Oakland-based medical cannabis dispensaries, California voters will see his "Legalize Cannabis" voter initiative on their ballots in 2010. Confirming that he has over 700,000 signatures in favor of putting the initiative before voters - far more than the 433,971 required - Lee pointed to recent surveys putting support for marijuana legalization at 56 percent in California, and reported that collecting the signatures took only two of the five months allotted for the process. Campaign organizers must submit the signatures to the California Secretary of State for validation, at which point they expect to qualify for the November 2010 ballot.
Though Oaksterdam University has already reportedly ponied up nearly $1 million towards the campaign, Lee hopes to raise far more - between $7 and $20 million - for the election campaign. In …READ MORE

Concert Review: Eclectic Method – NYC Pool Party
Fri Dec 4, 2009
Fresh from providing the audiovisual highlight of this year’s Phish Festival 8 (see video below), the UK-formed, Brooklyn dwelling Eclectic Method decided to celebrate Phish’s triumphant return to Gotham with a hotel midnight after-party featuring an indoor swimming pool and their own unique blend of DJ/VJ style mashups.
Spinning together danceable tracks from across the musical spectrum (hence the “Eclectic”), they simultaneously mixed together music videos and live performance videos and projected them onto a blank space above the increasingly active hotel pool.
Drinks flowed, clothes came off, asses shook, towels snapped, beats built, girls got jiggy, guys did likewise, and things were still flying high when HIGH TIMES left in the wee hours of the morning. Wherever these guys go next, bring your party shoes, even if you have to take them off to …READ MORE

Reclaiming his throne as Amsterdam's self-crowned "King of Cannabis," Arjan of the Green House took home this year's award for top coffeeshop at the 22nd Annual HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup. Green House, one of Amsterdam's best known shops, along with its affiliated seed company, has won more Cannabis Cups than anyone else, including back to back awards for top coffeeshop.
With a strain called Super Lemon Haze, Green House bested 28 other shops in a tightly contested vote by more than 3,000 judges from all over the world. Expert judges arranged by HIGH TIMES magazine, including California medical marijuana providers the Berkeley Patients Group, judged a separate competition among cannabis seed providers.
Musical performances included Slightly Stoopid, Gomez, Barrington Levy, Easy Star All Stars, Jefferson Starship, Yellowman, Los Marijuanos, Chali 2na, and marijuana musical legend David …READ MORE

Wed Nov 25, 2009
"Mad respect to all of you for even making it out here amid all this madness," Slightly Stoopid complimented their highly appreciative crowd last night during a headline appearance at the Melkveg in Amsterdam, as part of the HIGH TIMES 22nd Annual Cannabis Cup. "Now let's turn this entire place into one giant smokestack!"
The pothead pilgrims gathered for the Cup gladly obliged, as the best stoner party band on Earth brought their irie sounds to the world's premier marijuana and hashish competition. A night earlier, Gomez brought a decidedly more indie rock vibe to the same venue, including an ironic encore on "Get Myself Arrested," their musical critique of the UK's nonsensical pot laws. Naturally, nobody was getting arrested in Amsterdam, at least not for cannabis. Otherwise, I'd be more than a little nervous writing this "cannabis cupdate" while all around me rigorous testing takes place on the more than two …READ MORE

Thoughts from Inside the "Temple of Cannabis"
Mon Nov 23, 2009
Greetings from on high – as in Amsterdam, the cannabis capital of the world and for the next few days, host city of the 22nd Annual HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup. With thousands of judges from all over the world fanned out across this great city, sampling the finest marijuana and hashish on Earth, a truly magical and one-of-a-kind event is now in full swing. At Sunday night's official opening ceremony, the Cannabis Cup crew revealed a few smokes for consideration from among the 29 coffeeshops that entered this year, but savvy Cup-sters know that making it to each and every shop provides the most personally high quality experience.
The opening ceremonies also included a performance from Easy Star All Stars, a high-energy reggae outfit known primarily for their inventive covers of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Radiohead, and other stoner-friendly acts. By the end of the night, they'd blown away the THC-laden …READ MORE

The Calm Before the Cannabis Cup
Thu Nov 19, 2009
Arriving a few days in advance of the Cannabis Cup offers a HIGH TIMES correspondent myriad advantages, not the least of which being the opportunity to shake off the jet lag before the marijuana masses arrive in Amsterdam for the world's premier ganja harvest festival and competition. The annual event, now in its 22nd year, pits the city's legendary cannabis coffeeshops against one another in a battle to determine the best marijuana, hashish and shop on Earth. Marijuana seed suppliers enter a separate competition, divided into indica and sativa categories.
Things get started in earnest on Sunday, November 22. In the meantime, along with a few fellow magazine staffers, I spent yesterday in the pleasant haze of an informal coffeeshop crawl. By making the rounds so early, we found these legendary havens of cannabis freedom in their natural state. While many shops were surely in the process of preparing for the …READ MORE

Concert Review: Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe
Tue Nov 3, 2009
Taking the stage dressed up as various versions of Michael Jackson, and careening through a raucous show featuring copious covers from the King of Pop’s legendary back catalogue, the reunited (and it felt so good) Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe whipped a largely costumed crowd into a frenzy on a rainy Halloween night in New York City.
With the parties raging all over town, and the Yankees in the World Series, the intimate Bowery Ballroom still felt like the place to be as jazzman extraordinaire Karl Denson led his band through a Jackson tribute that also featured songs off his own latest album, Brother’s Keeper. He’ll be on the road till the end of the year, so don’t miss out!
This bit of YouTube magic should hold you over in the meantime:

Activism, Athletics and Agriculture at the 2009 NORML Conference
Mon Sep 28, 2009
September 24-26, San Francisco, CA -- Many, many marijuana activists left their hearts in San Francisco this weekend, especially those of us destined to return to states decidedly less free and rational than California when it comes to cannabis. After three days of inspiring speeches and informative panels, followed by three nights of epic merrymaking, the highly optimistic attendees at this year’s annual national NORML Convention will hopefully head home with a firm resolve to work hard and continue the amazing momentum of the marijuana movement this year.
With legalization all over the news, and the economy driving a serious debate about the benefits of “green jobs” and increased tax revenue, many notable speakers identified this moment as a potential “tipping point,” including PBS travel host Rick Steves, Marijuana Reconsidered author and Harvard professor Lester Grinspoon, and, fittingly, Tom Ammiano …READ MORE
