High Times cover (17 November 2006)

High Times is an American monthly magazine (and cannabis brand)[4] that advocates the legalization of cannabis[5] as well as other counterculture ideas. The magazine was founded in 1974 by Tom Forcade.[6] The magazine had its own book publishing division, High Times Books, and its own record label, High Times Records.

From 1974 to 2016, High Times was published by Trans-High Corporation (THC).[7] Hightimes Holding Corp. acquired THC and the magazine in 2017.[8][9]
