Part I
My first encounter, with High Times Magazine, was
at the age of eleven, smoking Florida brown haired
sensi (a.k.a schwag); we stole this from my friend's
older brother.
After we accomplished getting stoned we decided
to go back through his drawers to see what we could
find. We didn't find anymore weed, but what we did
find was, a playboy and a High Times Magazine mag.
From that day on his brother set the standard for
cool. In the weirdest way that moment gave me my
first real taste of freedom of speech. For an eleven-year-old,
break dancing, stoner, this was a big deal.
Me being from Ohio, at that time, land of the "more
seeds than weed", I was able to explore colorful
buds in High Times Magazine I never thought existed.
See people who I never thought smoked, and you
could buy seeds and drugs through mail order. At
that age I thought that was the druggy bible.
Not until later in life, did I really understand
the underlined meaning and causes High Times Magazine
was representing, in how it was kicking down doors
for freedom of speech.
I never thought, that years later, I would be involved
with the High Times Magazine organization, not only
on the business side but also on the friendship
side.
Not only am I involved in the industry, by owning
Inspector Vapors Vaporizers (a.k.a Gotvape.com,
for the internet savvy), I am the singer and co-founder
of methods of Mayhem, with Tommy Lee, Stephen Perkins
(drummer/ Jane's Addiction), Mix Master Mike from
the Beastie Boys. To Be Continued.
