High Times Magazine (eds.)

High Times is an American cannabis culture brand that first gained success as a monthly magazine. Founded in 1974 by Tom Forçade, the magazine advocated the legalization of cannabis and related counterculture ideas, eventually expanding to include the media divisions High Times Books and High Times Records. High Times magazine was published by Trans-High Corporation (THC) from 1974 to 2016. Hightimes Holding Corp. acquired THC and the magazine in 2017; financial difficulties forced the magazine to cease publication in 2024. The magazine and all associated assets were purchased in 2025 for $3.5 million. Magazine publication resumed in 2026. Their work has been subject to censorship or banning challenges.
