On January 25, 2016, Michael Kennedy—husband, father, grandfather, and legal crusader for the rights of oppressed people the world over—suffered one of the few defeats of his storied career when he lost his battle with cancer. He was 78 years old. In 1974, Michael Kennedy was handpicked by this magazine’s founder, Tom Forçade, to be its first line of defense
Friends, stoners, countrymen, lend me your ears… While, ostensibly, I’ve been tasked with analyzing the first Democratic debate of 2015, I feel it is my duty as your humble Sordid Affairs editor to inform you that there are far graver issues at hand than who won Tuesday night’s rhetorical joust. I’d like to begin with a short discussion of numbers.
The summer of 2015 has proved to be a dramatic growing season thus far in Northern California’s Emerald Triangle, where record heat and the worst drought in 500 years sparked massive wildfires in areas concentrated with outdoor marijuana gardens. Since the beginning of the year, fire has claimed more than 300,000 acres in California, with September proving unusually devastating due
To this day, a debate rages in the tabloids and blogosphere as to the merits of the period in New York City known as the “pre-Giuliani era” or “old New York.” From the mid-1970s to the late ’80s, New York could be a frequently violent and/or gratuitously disgusting place, but it was also a city with heart. You had to
George Jung is arguably the most famous drug smuggler in American history, thanks to the the movie Blow (in which Jung was immortalized by Hollywood idol Johnny Depp), and the book by journalist Bruce Porter upon which it was based. High Times caught up with him recently while he was on parole from federal prison after serving nearly two decades
Guitarist Wayne Kramer is a founding member of the seminal Detroit rock ’n’ roll band, the MC5, and an active solo artist. The title of his latest album, Lexington, refers to the Lexington Federal Correctional Institute in Kentucky where he did time on a cocaine conspiracy beef in the 1970’s. He was also a founding member of the radical White
Former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, a three-time presidential candidate (once with the Libertarian Party and twice with the Republicans), has been called the “intellectual godfather” of the Tea Party. Politically, Paul often frustrates both sides of the aisle, as several of his core principles can feasibly appeal to either the far left or the far right. He is also a staunch
Twenty percent of veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan suffer from some degree of post-traumatic stress disorder. At present, no reliable pharmaceutical treatment exists for PTSD, but cannabis has been shown to provide relief. While some doctors in the US Department of Veterans Affairs turn a blind eye to their patients’ use of marijuana, others take a hard stand
The time has come to release the long-suffering prisoners of the war on marijuana. It is absurd that people remain in jail for “crimes” relating to marijuana that are already legal in numerous states. High Times asks that you please take the time to sign this petition addressed to Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder, U.S. Attorney General
It is with a heavy heart and incalculable sadness that I must report that “Freebie,” one of High Times’ most talented and prolific photographers, has passed away at the tragically young age of 44. I personally hired Freebie sometime in the mid-‘90s, after he and his then-partner Lochfoot had sent me an unsolicited portfolio of cannabis photos that had been
In April 2013, Andrew Sadek, a small-time campus pot dealer at the North Dakota State College of Science, was set up by a confidential informant working for the Southeast Multi-County Agency Drug Task Force (SEMCA). Sadek sold weed to the CI (who was trying to extricate himself from his own recent pot bust) on two occasions—an eighth of an ounce
The future of legal marijuana is up for grabs: Politicians and entrepreneurs alike are stumbling over one another like bargain-hunters on Black Friday to get any piece of the action they can. But where does that leave you, the marijuana consumer? Do these people have your best interests at heart? And what are your best interests, anyway? Responsible cannabis consumers
