Story by Chris SimunekPhotos by Rebekah L. HarrisOur intrepid reporter journeys to the most isolated piece of real estate on Earth to learn the secret of survival in the land of the stone giants. Along the way, he finds some bud, too.
In Dog We TrustWithin minutes of disembarking the Lan Chile plane on Easter Island, I ran into what I imagined was the island’s only drug dog. A friendly little mutt – some beagle/spaniel bitch that jumped onto the luggage-filled conveyer belt like a yuppie mounting a Nordic Track. I learned later on that this little pup was a bone of contention for the Rapa Nui stoner crowd, who, previous to her arrival, thought little about bringing a few pounds of bud back with them every time they flew home from mainland Chile. I was told one story of how, a few years back when the Chilean cops felt the need to crack down on Easter …READ MORE

“If Michael Jackson smoked weed, he’d still be alive today!” declares Ian Lewis as Inner Circle arrives at the HIGH TIMES offices, a little red-eyed after their flight from Miami.Though known primarily for their 1987 crossover hit “Bad Boys,” which was used as the theme song for the television show COPS, Inner Circle had a long career before someone at the Fox network thought that armchair America might find it entertaining to sit and watch people getting arrested while they ate dinner. Ian, along with his brother Roger, formed Inner Circle in Kingston, Jamaica, in the late ’60s while the two were still in high school. In the ’70s, they teamed up with the inimitable roots singer Jacob Miller, creating a string of memorable hits that included the classic “Tenement Yard.” (If you want to see this lineup in its prime, track down a copy of the seminal 1978 Jamaican reggae movie …READ MORE

Scott Walt is not a murderer or a rapist or even a dealer of harmful drugs, yet he has been in Federal prison for over 15 years. His crime? He sold a plant that grows wild out of God’s earth.
Sometime around October 3, 1994, Scott Walt went surfing in the Pacific Ocean, as he did nearly every day, a luxury afforded him by his life as both a carpenter’s foreman for a large government contractor and a marijuana dealer. The waves had been his passion since he was nine years old, growing up in Encinitas, California, and he felt lucky that he was able to spend as much time on the beach as he did. It would be hard to argue that, up to that point, Scott’s life had been anything but a success. Eight years before he’d married Dawn, a beautiful blonde California girl, and had two young children, who were just starting school. The family went to Club Med twice a year, he’d bought a home on a lake stocked with bluegill, catfish, bass and …READ MORE

Legalization, The New York Times and the Oncoming Boomer Apocalypse
Sat May 23, 2009
By Chris Simunek
Reading Michael Winerip’s piece “Legalization? Now For the Hard Question” in the May 15, 2009, New York Times I was reminded again of just how damaging and useless the generation that was born into the era of unprecedented prosperity that followed World War II has proven itself to be. It seems like everyday I’m confronted with some new crime, some new hypocrisy of their making.
Before I get to Winerip’s article, let me give you a little history lesson regarding the Baby Boomers. Back when they were in their twenties and thirties, the Boomers were hedonists; they called themselves “hippies” and enjoyed going to rock concerts, doing drugs and fucking each other like bunny rabbits on a tina binge. Along the way they …READ MORE

A part of American folklore that dates back to the end of the Civil War, hobos forged a distinct counterculture along the lonely railroad tracks that are the backbone of America. In pieced-together camps (“jungles”) just far enough from town to avoid law enforcement scrutiny, they created a society with its own laws, etiquette and language. Their numbers swelled during the Great Depression as destitute men crisscrossed the country on freight trains in search of work. The post-Vietnam era produced its own surge of itinerant train travelers as veterans, juvenile delinquents and drug culture casualties sought solace and freedom along the American rails. Today the mantle has been passed (however reluctantly) to squatter punks who started arriving on the scene sometime in the early ’90s.

THE MAN IN THE MAZE
It’s an early wake-up call in the barrio as James Fendenheim, my entrée into all things Tucson, AZ, picks me up in his grumbling Chevy Blazer sometime around 7 a.m. He’s limping a bit, the result of a car accident a few months before. James tells me he’s waiting on some insurance money he hopes will buy him one of those hot little Japanese mini-trucks, but in the meantime, to get us to the rez, we have his temperamental Chevy with its bloodred interior, its chrome-dragon foot pedals, its back window that won’t close, its front door that won’t open, its silver-cobra-headed tire valves, its bestial General Motors engine, its guardian angel at the local Exxon station who will pass any vehicle for inspection for a half ounce, and its “For Sale” sign in the window that reads: 1975 cheyenne blazer, $7,000. The high sticker price attests to James’ attraction to the thing. …READ MOREtags: 14 « add a comment

My favorite story in the book, Painful but Fabulous: The Lives and Art of Genesis P-Orridge (Soft Skull Press, 2003), concerns a night back in ’76 when his performance group, COUM, was appearing at the University of Antwerp. Next to the performance hall, there was an exhibit of poisonous plants. Not content to lay his usual psychosexual visual assault on a bunch of stoned college yobs, Genesis decided to teach them a lesson on life, death, and the precarious relationship they both have with the human body. He stole some poisonous plants and bark from the exhibit next door, washed them down onstage with a bottle of whiskey, then started speaking in tongues and carving messages into his flesh with a rusty nail. He woke up in an emergency room shortly after the attending physician had pronounced him dead.
But a near-death experience comes with the territory Genesis is surveying. For him, the spiritual mandate of the artist …READ MOREtags: 0 « add a comment

CAROLYN CASSADY: BEAT SURVIVOR
Wed Jan 14, 2004
Story by Chris Simunek
"On the Road was taken by the young as a passport to freedom—or that is, 'forget responsibilities and do anything you feel like.' They didn't look to see that Jack had no responsibilities, but was against ignoring them," explained Carolyn Cassady, wife of Neal Cassady, the real-life model for Kerouac's most enduring literary creation, Dean Moriarty. "So the 'freedom' of the young became license and then chaos. They didn't realize there is no freedom without fences. When he was accorded the titles of 'King of the Beats' and 'Father of the Hippies,' Jack was eventually so depressed at being so misunderstood and misinterpreted, he vowed to drink himself to death. Which he did."
When On the Road was published in 1957 it forever altered the lives of the people upon which the book was based. Kerouac's driving, romantic prose turned the knowledge-hungry, reform school graduate Neal Cassady into a new American …READ MOREtags: 2 « add a comment
