Four Generations of Legal Medical Marijuana Users
Fri Dec 16, 2011
(From L to R) Stacy Stetler, 29, with great-grandmother Mary Ann Montoya, 98, her father Michael Stetler, 56, and grandmother Lucy Teague, 76.
When Executive Editor Dan Skye visited Marisol Therapeutics in Pueblo, CO, he knew that he would be seeing a sizable garden. Marisol is of one of Colorado’s top dispensaries and Michael Stetler, who oversees Marisol’s operations, has been growing top-grade ganja for years. Michael casually mentioned that four generations of his family are legal medical marijuana users. Dan knew that he was onto something momentous. He asked Michael’s family to pose in the Marisol garden.
“I don’t think any other such photo exists anywhere,” Dan says. “Four generations of legal users in a garden? That’s historic! How can you argue against marijuana in shots like these?”

At this point, you’ve all probably read about Brad Pitt’s interview wherein he felt compelled to describe his marriage to Jennifer Aniston for Parade magazine thusly: “I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”We’re not sure why Pitt would blame holding a joint or being married to Aniston for his dull life, because he’s been a dunderhead for years. Here’s what he said when Seven Years in Tibet was released: “Reporters ask me what I feel China should do …READ MORE

Leonard Peltier: Indian Martyr
Mon Aug 8, 2011
By Dan Skye
On August 6-7, a host of international activists gathered near the federal penitentiary in Lewisburg, PA for an evening candlelight vigil and morning rally in support of Leonard Peltier. Peltier, who has been behind bars for over 35 years, was convicted in 1977 of the murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota. His case stands as one of the worst miscarriages of justice ever perpetrated upon an American citizen.
During the 1970s, Pine Ridge, SD had the highest murder rate per capita in the nation, the result of strife between AIM activists and corrupt tribal police. The FBI had been complicit in the harassment of AIM sympathizers and so-called “traditionals.”
In June 1975, a firefight broke out on a rural ranch between two FBI agents and a group of AIM Indians. Both agents were killed at close range. In the tense, war-like conditions of …READ MORE

On the day of Marc Emery’s arrest, DEA chief Karen Tandy stated in a press release: “Today’s DEA arrest of Marc Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine and the founder of a marijuana legalization group, is a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the US and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement. His marijuana trade and propagandist marijuana magazine have generated nearly $5 million a year in profits that bolstered his trafficking efforts, but those have gone up in smoke today. Emery and his organization had been designated as one of the Attorney General’s most wanted international drug trafficking organizational targets—one of only 46 in the world and the only one from Canada. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery’s illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United …READ MORE

An elite, 19-member commission composed a withering, 24-page paper which states that the “global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world.’’ Members of the commission included political and public figures: former UN secretary general Kofi Annan, George Schultz, who held Cabinet posts under Presidents Reagan and Nixon, former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, and the current prime minister of Greece. Plus, the former presidents of Mexico, Brazil, Switzerland and Colombia added their names. Richard Branson, head of the Virgin Group, as well as writers Carlos Fuentes and Mario Vargas Llosa were also part of the commission. As a group, they wrote: “Political leaders and public figures should have the courage to articulate publicly what many of them acknowledge privately: that the evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that repressive strategies will not solve the drug problem, and that the war on …READ MORE

All across America, glass artists have unleashed their imaginations, and the artistry has never been more impressive. However, an entirely different set of skills is required to market the products of this vibrant industry.
By Dan SkyeFor an instructive lesson on the power of our community, let us look to the Lone Star State. Big Mike’s House of Glass sits prominently on the corner of a busy intersection in Lewisville, a suburb of Dallas. Big Mike, the proprietor, had been spending $1,400 a week for local radio spots. But over the course of a few months, his hoped-for increase in store traffic had been negligible.
Then, while attending an industry trade show in order to stock up on new glassware for his store, he was stopped dead in his tracks, mesmerized by a reggae-colored bubbler festooned with pot leaves. What he was looking at was actually the Jamaica-themed pipe – blown by …READ MORE

The HIGH TIMES Interview with Dan Fogler
Mon Mar 7, 2011
Interview & photos by Dan Skye
For successful artists, there often comes a breakthrough moment – the point when they know they’ve stepped through the magic doorway and life will never be the same again. That moment came for Dan Fogler in 2005, when he won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee. Since then, he’s been scoring big laughs in films like Balls of Fury, Kung Fu Panda, Good Luck Chuck and, now, Take Me Home Tonight with Topher Grace, set for release in March. Dan’s also got Disney’s Mars Needs Moms in the can, and he’s a producer with Studio13, the film and theater production company he helped to found. He also writes constantly and is currently directing his second feature film. As he puts it simply: “I …READ MORE

The harvest in California was epic, as always, and the marketplace is now flooded with product. However, along with this year’s pot crops, the seeds of discontent were also sown: The price of outdoor pot is plummeting, and growers are getting anxious.
Story & photos by Dan Skye
“I’m trying to get out of it 100 percent,” one Northern Cali grower tells me. “I don’t wanna do it – I just don’t see any future in it at all. I don’t think I could take care of my family.
“Still,” this grower adds, “it’s so hard not to put out an outdoor crop, because it pretty much takes care of itself.”
It’s a warm October day up in Trinity County. This is outdoor-cultivation country: rugged and remote, but teeming with activity as the harvest season begins. …READ MORE

Melissa Etheridge is at the tail end of her “Fearless Love” tour. Her suite at the Palms in Las Vegas overlooks the sprawling desert suburbs. Beyond that: a barren, mountainous emptiness. She scans the stark contrast and laughs: “Ya know, I’m all about finding balance, but it looks like we missed the boat here.”
Etheridge is funny and irreverent as she pokes fun at her image as an activist. As one of the world’s top women rockers – whose music and popularity crosses over several audiences – she acknowledges the power of her celebrity but praises the efforts of “real workers” first. She helps out when she can and tries to “walk the walk,” speaking out boldly for what she believes in.
Basically, Etheridge believes that we can do better. “We have grown up,” she says …READ MORE

The HIGH TIMES Interview: Faith Evans
Thu Feb 17, 2011
Interview by Dan Skye
She’s only 37 but has lived a lifetime. In fact, Faith Evans has already published her memoirs, Keepin’ the Faith (Grand Central Publishing, 2008). She began her career as a back-up singer and became the first female artist signed to Sean “Diddy” Combs’s record label, Bad Boy Entertainment. She’s got four kids, has five top-selling albums behind her, and was dubbed “rap’s most famous widow” following the murder of her husband, the Notorious B.I.G. Her tribute to him, “I’ll Be Missing You,” touched millions.
Now, after a five-year break from recording, she’s back with a new album, Something About Faith. She’s also filming a new reality show, The First Ladies, with Misa Hylton-Brim, the mother of Combs’s oldest son, Justin. Evans …READ MORE

When Oliver Stone made Any Given Sunday, the National Football League virtually declared war on the film, attempting to block production in any way possible. But the battle was worth it: “It hurt my health at that time, but I totally enjoyed making it – I really got into it,” Stone says.
Call him a warrior. Stone has directed 18 films, always colorful and raucous affairs that have rarely failed to rock somebody’s world. In JFK, he awakened the nation to the darkness of the government; in Salvador, he exposed its covert wars. Nixon and W cast a harsh spotlight on our flawed leaders, while his trilogy of Vietnam films – Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, and Heaven and Earth – have given world audiences an unflinching perspective on the Vietnam experience. Now he’s making Wall Street II, which …READ MORE

What happens when, at the age of 21, you release an album that goes on to become the highest-selling album by a female artist ever and the third best-selling album of all time?
Well, probably you go through some changes. Monster fame tends to do that to you.
Some handle it poorly. Others learn valuable lessons as they navigate the choppy waters. Alanis Morissette is one of the latter.
Maybe we knew she would be by virtue of the smart, searing lyrics found on her historic album, Jagged Little Pill. This was a woman prone to introspection, someone not averse to digging a little deeper than the surface.
Maybe the best evidence of her penchant for dissecting illusions is her hilarious April Fool’s Day cover of “My Humps” by the Black Eyed Peas, wherein she lampoons …READ MORE

HIGH TIMES Interview: Russell Means
Mon Jun 22, 2009
On December 24, 2008, a delegation of Lakota leaders delivered a message to the State Department announcing that their people were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties signed with the US. No longer would they tolerate the federal government’s gross violations of these agreements; America was put on notice that the Republic of Lakotah had been re-created. The new nation would issue its own passports and driving licenses, and living there would be tax-free—provided residents renounced their US citizenship. As has been the case for the past 40 years, Russell Means, the longtime Indian-rights activist, was there, helping see the declaration through and cosigning it. “We are no longer citizens of the United States of America, and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us,” he stated.
Means is one of the best-known, most influential activists in the Indian community. He rose to prominence as …READ MORE

With the rise of the American Indian Movement, intertribal strife broke out on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. AIM activists squared off against a corrupt tribal government and police force.
AIM was being closely monitored by the FBI. In June 1975, two FBI agents in an unmarked car sped onto Indian land near Oglala, SD. The Indians living there had no way of knowing whether they were federal agents or anti-AIM tribal police. In a desperate shootout, the agents and one Indian were killed. Though law enforcement swarmed the reservation, Leonard Peltier, a Chippewa Sioux, and more than two dozen others managed to escape.
Eventually, two Indian participants were apprehended. Both pleaded self-defense and, following a tumultuous trial, they were acquitted. But Peltier wasn't captured until February 1976.
In 1977, he stood trial on double murder charges. Peltier's conviction is one of …READ MORE
