On Koh Tao, KD has spent decades preserving landrace genetics, sharing seeds across generations, and treating cannabis less like a product than a living inheritance. There are growers, and then there are keepers of lineage. Aram Limsakul, known as KD, belongs to the latter. In Thailand, where cannabis has long had medicinal and local cultural roots, KD cultivates something more valuable than flower: continuity. For those unfamiliar with his name, KD is one of Thailand’s most respected cannabis cultivators and preservers of original Thai landrace genetics, a quiet legend who has spent decades collecting and protecting strains from around the…

Proper Doinks, the connoisseur-driven platform behind the Proper Smoke League and High Rollers bracket, is teaming up with High Times for a series of collaborations including future Cannabis Cup activations. Proper Doinks did not become influential by being loud. It became influential by being precise. What started as two neighbors in Northern California smoking together and arguing over whose weed actually smoked better has grown into one of the most demanding connoisseur platforms in cannabis. Not because it hands out trophies, but because it removes excuses. Now, that culture of standards is finding a larger stage through High Times. Proper…

In Transaction Denied, Rainey Reitman argues that cannabis was never merely underbanked. It was pushed to the margins by a financial system willing to punish businesses, writers and entire communities for getting too close to the plant. For years, the cannabis industry has been fed some version of the same story. The banking mess is unfortunate. The payment problems are complicated. The account shutdowns are compliance issues.

Gary Youds has spent nearly 20 years opening cannabis cafes in Liverpool, getting raided, getting jailed, and refusing to stop. Gary Youds is best known as the UK’s “cannabis martyr.” That’s because he has continually sacrificed himself for the cause of cannabis legalization. He is currently spending his sixth stint in jail for operating an illegal cannabis cafe in Liverpool. In February, the crusader was arrested and remanded in His Majesty’s Prison Liverpool for defiantly allowing his patrons to congregate at the Chillin’ Rooms in Holt Road, near Liverpool Football Club’s Anfield stadium. Police raided the premises and seized “cannabis…
