High Times

USAFounded 1974Website ↗

High Times is one of the most recognizable cannabis publications in the United States. Founded in 1974, it grew out of the counterculture era and became a long-running voice for cannabis normalization, advocacy, and consumer education.

Its coverage spans legalization and policy, industry news, and the cultural side of cannabis—from strains and products to events, personalities, and lifestyle reporting. Over decades, High Times has helped mainstream cannabis journalism and popularized the idea of cannabis as both a political issue and a consumer category.
