Review: George Carlin’s Last Words
Tue Nov 10, 2009
The late great George Carlin’s final book, appropriately titled Last Words, was released today (11/10) and raises an obvious question: what words could George Carlin possibly have left unspoken? Carlin’s breathtaking razor-cut comedy gave personal license to several generations of comedians – and millions of fans – to say “Fuck it!” and let the truth fly fast and furious. He taught us, by example, that there are no thoughts too dark, no words too dirty, no sensibilities too profane to stay censored in a world gone mad. He gave us the collective courage to shout our deepest convictions. So what thoughts could George Carlin have left unsaid?
The answer is quite a few. Carlin’s previous books – Brain Droppings, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? and Napalm & Silly Putty – read much like his comedy act: wry snapshots composed of …READ MORE

Thu May 7, 2009
The first time I met Poodie Locke I didn’t know who he was. I had the privileged of watching my very first Willie Nelson show from the VIP section above the stage at the Old Irving Plaza in New York City. This was ten years ago. I noticed that the tables in the VIP section were filled with two kinds of people: the New York music industry types (I guess that included me) and members of “The Family” – the infamous extended network of road show professionals, support staff and hangers-on that followed Willie wherever he went. One of The Family, a very old, big guy wearing a leather jacket and a long braided ponytail, looked like a biker or the quintessential roadie; but he was very relaxed as he moved from table to table casually chatting and visibly cool. He radiated authority.
Who’s that guy? I thought. …READ MORE

Maybe It's Holden That Hates Hippies
Fri Mar 27, 2009
I have just read Dominic Holden’s “Shit Or Get Off The Pot” and I would like to make the following personal observations. Let me be clear that these opinions are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of HIGH TIMES magazine or its staff of which I am member. I am speaking as a marijuana activist and businessman who has remained quiet on the subject of cultural bigotry within our movement for far too long.
On the number of professional occasions that I have been with Mr. Holden I have always sensed a thinly-veiled bigotry on his part towards the so-called “hippie” faction of the counterculture. Those of you who might know me would probably agree that I look like and exemplify the stereotype of an old hippie and, like any other cultural minority, I have learned to identify and avoid those people who intrinsically dislike me …READ MORE

HIGH TIMES INTERVIEW: GEORGE CARLIN
Thu Jun 26, 2008
Note: This interview took place in November, 1997
HIGH TIMES: It's been my perception - and the perception of many of your fans - that your work has grown darker over the past few years.
GEORGE CARLIN: Yeah.
HT: You begin your book, Braindroppings, with the motto, “Fuck Hope''
GC: Well, I noticed after the 1992 “Jammin' in New York'' show that I found my voice on stage, found my comic voice. I noticed in retrospect that what I probably had done was to stop pretending that I cared about some outcome for this society or this species. I mean, all that other time I had been aware that I was somewhat left of center with my beliefs and thoughts, but that I really didn't care about specific issues, except that I thought I supposed to. You know, you're supposed to care about the environment and you're supposed to care about injustice. And in the abstract, you …READ MOREtags: 2 « add a comment

By Richard Cusick, Associate Publisher of HIGH TIMES Magazine
Fittingly, I’m going to begin with a joke.
When you work for HIGH TIMES magazine, you get asked the same five questions over and over: 1) How did you get your job at HIGH TIMES? 2) Can I get a job at HIGH TIMES? 3) Do you guys sit around and smoke pot all day? 4) Do you have any pot? and 5) What’s up with the fake weed?
The punch line is: 1) Luck. 2) No. 3) Sometimes we stand. 4) Get the fuck out of here, and 5) I have no fucking …READ MORE

BREAKING THE BODY HIGH TIMES’ 2006 GUIDE TO DRUG TESTING
Thu Mar 16, 2006
By Richard Cusick
The drugs you did last night, the drugs you did last week and the drugs you did last New Year’s Eve—they’re all in there, embedded or encoded in your urine, sweat, hair, saliva and blood. Not so long ago, the body was inviolate—a temple the law could not enter—but bad science and contemptible courts have since combined to make drug testing a part of American life, giving rise to a multibillion-dollar-per-year industry that exists solely to break the body into measurable pieces and detail your private life for the benefit of your employer or your government. Despite the Fourth Amendment’s clear guarantee of a right to privacy, courts have granted increasingly broad authority for random, suspicionless drug testing (see timeline on the next page), and what was unthinkable in this country a generation ago is taken for granted today. But the news isn’t all bad.
“The number of employers …READ MOREtags: 4196 « add a comment

The superintendent of schools in Salem, MA, wants to implement random drug testing, a decision he made after discovering his own son was addicted to the painkiller OxyContin. The superintendent has created a task force to explore the issue and plans to submit a proposal to the city's school committee before he retires in June. If the schools in his district decide to randomly drug-test student athletes and those involved in extracurricular activities—which is allowed by federal law—it will be the first time a district has drug-tested students in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts ACLU has vowed to fight back, starting in the State Supreme Court.
"The American Civil Liberties Union is committed to keeping drug testing in schools as contained as possible," says ACLU public education coordinator Anjuli Verma. "We think not only is it a violation of privacy rights from a legal standpoint, we also think it's bad …READ MOREtags: 83 « add a comment

Story by Rick Cusick
On April 13, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released proposed guidelines and standards for hair-, sweat- and saliva-testing for federal employees. These guidelines, if adopted, will be added to existing protocols for urine-testing and give the drug warriors more weapons in their battle against civil liberties. These guidelines will then be used throughout the private sector as the de facto standards for employee drug-testing.
Though there’s little chance that public debate will stanch the flow of increased social engineering, it’s probably a good idea for drug-law reformers to note the serious flaws set forth in these guidelines. Almost all of them relate to marijuana-smokers.
According to the proposed guidelines, “The Department has remained committed to... identifying and using the most accurate reliable …READ MOREtags: 587 « add a comment

Story by Richard Cusick
Late at night, a small crew of gray-souled technicians quietly scatter throughout your workspace. With small chemical wands, they swab phone cradles, keyboards, faucets, and doorknobs, tag and bag the evidence, then head to the lab, where they test for trace amounts of a variety of drugs. Not surprisingly, marijuana is discovered in the test results.
While the presence of an illicit substance on a desktop proves nothing by itself, your company still uses the positive results as an excuse to institute a random drug-testing program. Though management has urine-tested employees for years, this new form of drug-screening will certainly be regarded by employees as more invasive.
It gets worse: Within weeks, a biometric eye scanner replaces the time clock. This machine not only fulfills the old timecard function, it hooks into state-of-art pupillometry software that indicates impairment in eight different drug …READ MOREtags: 1110 « add a comment
