Over a year ago, I wrote a feature article in HIGH TIMES, “Rick Simpson’s Hemp Oil Medicine,” which explained how a disabled hospital-maintenance worker in Nova Scotia, Canada, had cured his skin cancer with a topical application of homemade hash oil. Even more astonishing, after taking the same oil orally, Simpson discovered that it helped him considerably with a head injury he’d suffered. He began giving the oil to terminal cancer patients and discovered that about 70 percent of them were cured simply by ingesting 60 grams of oil in 30 days.
After the article appeared in HIGH TIMES, two things happened: 1) The Mounties raided Simpson’s home and forced him to flee to Eastern Europe to avoid jail; 2) Dr. Lester Grinspoon, the foremost medical-marijuana expert in the world, wrote a note of caution advising me (and others) not to take Simpson’s claims at …READ MORE

When I was interviewed by ABC News several years ago, I claimed April 20th was a spiritual event and coincidentally happened to fall around the same time as Passover and Easter. Simone Wilson of the LA Times used this convergence to produce a funny bit about celebrities who obviously love weed on her blog today. She even put a link to my essay about responsible use ("Stoner Smart or Stoner Stupid"), in which I claim people who wait until 4:20 pm may get better effects than wake-n-bakers who strive to be perpetually stoned. Although I realize some people need to be medicated all the time (and that's their business), I also believe there are times when it's not appropriate to be intoxicated. For me, that almost always includes today.
For the last ten years, I've always been on the road doing a "Heads versus Feds Debate" against former NY DEA boss Bob Stutman. This year, I said, "No Mas," and decided to spend the …READ MORE

The Story Behind The Tea Party Movement That Swept Across America
Wed Jan 19, 2011
Let's face it, the original Tea Party was back in Boston Harbor in 1773, and was organized and carried out secretly by Freemasons from the St. Andrew's Lodge.
But I'm not talking about that party, I mean the first Tea Party revival that overtook the country and created a wave of citizen action. I'm talking about the HIGH TIMES Freedom Fighters, created and promoted by HIGH TIMES magazine in 1986, the group that launched the hemp movement. Jack Herer was among the original members (and so was Gatewood Galbraith, Elvy Musikka, and Debby Goldsberry).
At the time, I was writing a humor column in HIGH TIMES called "My Amerika" by Ed Hassle. It was a parody of a hilarious column in the Weekly World News by Ed Anger, who was the Stephen Colbert of his time. My favorite deejay, Bill Kelly, read from that column every week on his garage rock tribute show on WFMU.
Ed Hassle was a hippie fascist pot grower who …READ MORE

Ever see the movie "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World?" My favorite character is the lifeguard from California. You first see him dancing with his beatnik girlfriend in his beach pad. That movie was made in 1962, right before the hippies arrived on the scene. But you can recognize their precursers in those beach party beatniks. I think a lot of hippie culture actually started around Newport Beach with the original surfer scene. A lot of the surfers were really beatniks who had basically dropped out of society to smoke pot and ride waves. They had a lot of religious experiences doing that and formed some of the first communes by sharing cheap houses near the beach and turning them into surfer crash pads. John Griggs moved to Laguna Beach shortly after he dropped acid for the first time. He created "The Brotherhood of Eternal Love," which became the biggest LSD, marijuana and hash smuggling operation in North America for a few years.

An entire French town mysteriously went insane in the summer of 1951, and for nearly 60 years, there’s been no concrete explanation of exactly what happened. Until now – according to a new book, the incident was the result of a Cold War experiment gone horribly wrong, an experiment using a recently discovered drug called LSD. The cause of this tragedy has been one of the CIA’s most closely guarded secrets – and a US Army scientist was murdered to keep it hidden.
By Steven HagerFriday, August 16, 1951, was a day unlike any other in the ancient town of Pont-Saint-Esprit, a close-knit community on the banks of the Rhone River, founded in the fifth century and filled with Roman and medieval architecture. The first victims in what soon became known throughout France as le pain maudit (“the accursed bread”) were animals. An astonished Laurain Moulin watched her cat …READ MORE
