High Times, the iconic stoner magazine, has been revived by its founder, Steve Hagar. The magazine, which was first published in 1974, was discontinued in 2024. However, Hagar has now relaunched the publication, promising to bring back the same irreverent and humorous tone that made it a staple of the counterculture movement.

The first issue of the revamped magazine is set to hit newsstands later this month, featuring a cover story on the current state of the cannabis industry. Hagar has promised that the new High Times will be more focused on the cultural and social implications of cannabis use, rather than just the latest strains and products.

The relaunch of High Times comes at a time when the cannabis industry is experiencing a surge in popularity, with more and more states legalizing the use of marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes. The magazine's revival is seen as a nod to the growing acceptance of cannabis culture and a recognition of its impact on society.

Hagar has stated that the new High Times will be available in print and digital formats, with a focus on creating a community-driven publication that encourages readers to share their thoughts and experiences on cannabis use.

The revival of High Times is a significant development in the world of cannabis culture, and it will be interesting to see how the magazine evolves in the coming months.
