I was going to put this in the Tokers Den, because like everything else, I have a fairly strong opinion on the subject and I seem to piss people off without knowing about it or even trying to.
With that said, this is essentially a financial story more than anything else, but I think it's really _moral_.
The legal/corporate entity that is responsible for the ownership of High Times has just gone into receivership. Which essentially means, they're circling the drain financially, and getting ready to go down the tubes.
Morally, they went down such a long fucking time ago.
If you're familiar with the true origin story and history of High Times, you'll know that it's founder Tom Forcade, a pirate smuggler of cannabis, would turn over in his fucking _grave_ knowing that the corporate entity he was responsible for creating... puked up, narced out and turned over _names_ of people who had bought growing equipment via ads in High Times.
Do a dive on Operation Green Merchant and you'll understand why I have such strong feelings. Not counting the fact that I ordered a 1 kilowatt MH HID light from Midwest supplies from an ad in their mag!
All I had to do was live with paranoia, people like Steve Murphy got their life totally and completely _fucked_.
I'll leave you with a quote from my website... "the only thing I trust about High Times after the '80s was the photography." All the rest of it, _especially_ the Cannabis Cup competition after 2000, was pure political and financial bullshit.
You reap what you sow, what goes around come around, pick your cliche but High Times deserves it.
Seriously, do a deep dive into Tom Forcade to see a man who had honor and dignity, while dealing in a world of murderers, pirates, and thieves.
My wife Harley just now mentioned something about Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves... got to leave that out because our Gypsy ain't associated with no tramps or thieves, other than those of us who use his forum.![ROFL :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
