Part IV
High Times Magazine also started numerous marijuana-based
events, ranging from the "stonys" movies
awards, the "doobies" music awards, and
everyone's most favorite award show, the Cannabis
Cup, in Amsterdam.
Now with its 30th anniversary here High Times Magazine
thought it was time for the magazine to go back
to being more about awareness and activism, then
"stoner" and "bong" of the month.
So when I saw the first issue of the new High Times
Magazine I was devastated because I always wanted
to be the "stoner" of the month.
The new layout of the magazine seemed so serious,
and I use to be able to read it as an escape and
now it's filled with reality.
Which I have to admit, reality is good but I have
to be prepared. When you expect to see what new
celebrity is smoking.
A picture of some guy with too much time on his
hands and his ten-foot double chamber gravity bong.
You get disappointed when you see articles only
about politics and science.
I guess I have ADD, because I like politics and
science, but my attention span bounces from serious
articles to lifestyle articles and pictures. Now
it's all political, it seems. Then
I found out that High Times Magazine now offers
two magazines "High Times Magazine" and
"High Times Grow America Magazine".
High Times Magazine being more political and High
Times Magazine Grow being more lifestyle. I have
to admit now knowing that the fun is still there,
I just have to go to Grow to get it.
I am realizing, that by High Times Magazine offering
two different kinds of magazines they can appeal
to a much larger base.
Therefore promoting more awareness and eventually
creating even more freedoms for the masses that
need and enjoy hemp, marijuana, and their byproducts.
