The Cannabis Justice Crisis Still Haunting 2025: Parker Coleman’s 60-Year Sentence Is a National Shame

In 2025, cannabis is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Everywhere in the sense that you can buy it legally in glittery storefronts, order it for delivery like pizza, see it advertised on billboards, hear politicians brag about the tax revenue, and watch corporate executives talk about “innovation” with the same straight face Big

Wall Street Wants Stock Listings. Cannabis Wants Justice.

The ink was barely dry on President Trump’s cannabis rescheduling order when the same question started bouncing around boardrooms, Discords, and trader timelines: Does this mean cannabis can finally uplist to the NYSE or Nasdaq? Short answer: no. Longer answer: also no, and maybe stop treating Wall Street like it’s the finish line. Schedule III

Operation Green Merchant: The Morning the Drug War Kissed Its Own Reflection

How a nationwide DEA dragnet in 1989 turned garden shops into crime scenes, and taught the War on Drugs to police an idea. The first light of dawn had barely bled over the strip mall when the shutters screeched open. A dozen black-clad agents spilled out of unmarked vans. They smashed glass, padlocked doors, and

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). This is

Editor’s Note: High Times has long supported the removal of cannabis from Schedule I and ultimately federal descheduling.

Rescheduling Is A Bread Sandwich: Same Law, Better PR

A federal number changed. Prohibition did not. This is a nothing burger. For a moment, it sounded historic. Cannabis was “rescheduled.” A president signed an executive order. Headlines declared a federal shift. Markets reacted. Politicians took victory laps. Then the dust settled. What remains looks a lot like what people used to call a nothing

Timothée Chalamet Just Dropped a Weed Rap and the Internet Lost Its Mind

Somewhere between a drill remix, an A24 rollout and the internet’s most committed inside joke, Timothée Chalamet popped up rapping alongside masked UK artist EsDeeKid. Yes, it belongs in High Times. The track is the “4 Raws Remix.” The hook does not overthink things. Every time I smoke, I light four Raws. That’s the thesis.

Are You Smoking Gas… or Gas Gas? Inside the Hydrocarbons That Built BHO

BHO started as a hydrocarbon experiment, often using raw butane and DIY rigs that carried risks. Even with today’s refined, regulated extraction systems, solventless options like rosin and hash remain the purest way to consume cannabis without chemical solvents or complicated gear. Before Colorado had dispensaries, regulations, compliance trackers, or certificate-of-analysis stickers, it already had
