High Times: High Times Magazine
built 171 days ago
To cater to it’s more hardcore pot-growing fan base, High Times created the quarterly supplement called Grow America, which was more like the original format of the magazine. Despite what sounds like positive changes as far as I’m concerned, the magazine still wasn’t performing financially. So in January of 2005, they switched formats again, proudly proclaiming “The Buds Are Back!” It’s back to marijuana covers, lots of photos of plants and information on growing with very little of anything else - at least compared to their format under Mailer. What we’re left with seems to be a magazine that has been re-tooled to fit the times a little better, yet still catering to the hardcore stoner audience which composes it’s longtime core. Going back to the Camille Dodero piece, she writes that they are attempting to cater more to the 18-25 year old audience, with shorter articles, more sidebar, more pop culture content. So far it’s paying off, according to this article.

Launched in 1974 by the legendary drug smuggler and cultural outlaw Thomas King Focae, High Times was dedicated to being far more than a magazine about "dope." This classic collection brings together an eclectic sampling of gonzo journalism, satire, psychedelic reminiscences, inside scoops, dope tales, candid interviews, celebrity opinion, and original fiction. It includes such renegade and iconic voices as Andy Warhol, William S. Burroughs, Terry Southern, Debbie Harry, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Hunter S. Thompson, Jerry Rubin, Abbie Hoffman, Dave Chappelle, Keith Richards, Norman Mailer, Johnny Rotten, Joey Ramone, Kinky Friedman, Frank Zappa, Cookie Mueller, Luc Sante, and Robert Anton Wilson. Plus, of course, an introduction by Paul Krassner. From an acid trip with Groucho Marx to an intimate look at the secret life of Walt Disney, it's all here.

The magazine was founded in 1974 by Tom Forcade of the Underground Press Syndicate.[1] High Times was originally modeled on Playboy magazine, except that rather than catering to consumers of recreational sex, it caters to consumers of recreational drugs. Each issue has a centerfold photo, not of a nude woman, but typically of a choice grade of cannabis plant. (Although for a brief period during the late 1970s and early '80s, they featured centerfolds dedicated to cocaine.) In 1988, Steven Hager was hired as editor-in-chief. He removed hard drugs from the magazine and began a campaign to encourage personal use cultivation of cannabis. Hager ... founded the Cannabis Cup (the Academy Awards of Marijuana) and The Freedom Fighters (one of the original hemp legalization groups).
