As a kid, I only wanted to be one thing when I grew up--COOL. At the age of ten I discovered my parents' vinyl collection, and started growing my hair long by eleven. I smoked my first joint at twelve, got drunk for the first time at thirteen, and was in my first moshpit by fifteen. Then in my senior year at college, I was offered an internship at HIGH TIMES, and my life changed forever. Over the past 13 years, my adventures with HT have taken me tons of exciting places, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Burning Man, Napa, Barcelona and Amsterdam, where I've attended the Cannabis Cup eleven times. I've had the opportunity to interview and party with models, directors, artists, movie stars, rock stars and porn stars. I've gotten invited to (or crashed) countless screenings, openings, photo shoots, parties, clubs and concerts. I've smoked weed with stoner icons like Snoop Dog, Jason Mewes, Ozzy Osbourne and Tommy Chong. And all of this just because of two magic little words: HIGH TIMES. That, my friends, is what the BBD--the Bigger, Better Deal--is all about. I'm just a regular guy who likes to get high, get laid and listen to great music just like anybody else, but thanks to HIGH TIMES I'm able to take it to the next level--and thanks to ALMOST INFAMOUS, you can come along for the ride.

  • President Johnson

    Tue Aug 2, 2011

    -

    By Bobby Black

     

    Former New Mexico governor turned marijuana advocate Gary Johnson speaks to HIGH TIMES.

     

    It’s safe to say that the vast majority of politicians don’t support the legalization of marijuana; it’s an even safer bet that most Republicans eyeing their party’s nomination in 2012 wouldn’t be caught dead at a pot rally, let alone at the offices of HIGH TIMES. Then again, Gary Johnson is not most Republicans. 

               

    Sure, when it comes to fiscal policy, he falls right in line with fellow libertarian-minded officials like Ron Paul and his teabagger son Rand – he likes his markets free, his budgets balanced and his government small. But compared to the rest of the GOP, Johnson is far more rational when it comes to social issues: He believes in evolution …READ MORE

  • Shattered: The Death of Dimebag Darrell

    Wed Dec 8, 2010

    -

    By Bobby Black

    Last winter, one of the cowboys from hell climbed the stairway to heaven. The sudden, senseless murder of metal guitar idol Dimebag Darrell has left the family, friends and fans of this fallen hero, and the world of rock'n'roll...


    Shattered


    It was a cold Wednesday night in December, and hundreds of fans huddled into the Alrosa Villa club in Columbus, OH, eager to check out Damageplan, a new band featuring former Pantera members Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. But just as the lights dimmed, the amps buzzed to life, and Dimebag strummed the opening song’s first chords, the crowd’s familiar roar of excitement suddenly morphed into screams of fear and disbelief when a man with a handgun ran onto the stage and began firing at the unsuspecting guitarist.

    “You broke up Pantera! You ruined my life!” …READ MORE

  • VETERANS & MEDICAL MARIJUANA RESOURCE LIST

    Fri Apr 30, 2010

    -

    In our June 2010 issue, I wrote an article called "The Thin Green Line" about disabled veterans who use medical marijuana to treat their chronic pain and PTSD and have faced persecution by the VA and others for it. These brave men and women didn't survive wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan only to become victims of the drug war here at home. We must bring attention to their struggles and help them get the medicine they so desperately need.

    Below is a list of organizations and websites that can help vets who need information or help regarding marijuana-related issues. If you are a suffering vet, or know someone who is, I hope this resource can help.

    Highest regards,

    Bobby Black
