High Times Is Back. Here’s What We Built in 5.5 Months
High Times officially turned the lights back on July 16, 2025. We didn’t relaunch anything. We reopened the site and started publishing again.

People Are Getting Their AI High: Paying to ‘Alter’ Chatbot’s Consciousness
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has reached a level of everyday intimacy where it’s starting to feel like a friend. We argue over dinner recipes, plan trips, ask how to fix things around the house, and sometimes even bring our personal dilemmas to it (an intimacy that, as we’re learning, doesn’t always come without risks).

While Millennials grew up fawning over the fantastic trio of Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon, and Sailor Moon, Gen Zers couldn’t care less: they have their own icons.

Now, the tables have turned. A new wave of cannabis businesses is hitting […]
High Times Revives DOPE With A New Award Honoring The People Who Keep Cannabis Honest
When DOPE Magazine first appeared on coffee tables and dispensary counters, it stood for more than a four-letter slang word. The name was an acronym: Defending Our Plant Everywhere. It was a promise that cannabis media could be stylish, funny and beautiful while still grounded in a simple idea: we owe something back to the […]

Germany’s cannabis world is moving fast. While the country breaks its own records for medical flower imports, it’s also moving forward—unevenly but steadily—with its system of adult-use cannabis social clubs.

What Do Stoner Girls Carry in Their Purse? We’re Here, We’re Hot, We’re High AF
The world used to pretend weed was a dude thing… cute. But stoner girls have always been here; rolling, sparking, sharing, passing, laughing, and living deliciously high. We are not the sidekicks, the giggling “pick me”, or the “chill girlfriend” holding the grinder. Now, attention is shifting, and who gets to be in the spotlight […]
