We’ve always stood for decriminalization and full legalization of cannabis, and that hasn’t changed. Moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III isn’t enough; not even close. It’s still a half-measure that keeps the plant criminalized and controlled. Yet, we’ll take it (for now), because it offers something we can’t ignore: immediate relief for people and businesses who continue to bear the weight of prohibition’s cruelties. Voltaire once said: le mieux est l’ennemi du bien. The best is the enemy of the good. In cannabis, this truth is staring us in the face. For decades, we have pushed for the…

A group of licensed cannabis dispensaries in New York is suing state regulators over a rule change that threatens to shutter or relocate dozens of businesses. The lawsuit, filed Aug. 15 in State Supreme Court in Albany, argues that the state’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) abruptly reinterpreted a law requiring cannabis shops to be at least 500 feet from schools. Since 2022, regulators measured that distance from one entrance to another. In July 2025, officials said the law should have been measured from a school’s property line, a correction that rendered at least 152 dispensaries noncompliant according to the…
Original publication: February 1992. The HIGH TIMES interview Allen Ginsberg Count Beat poet Allen Ginsberg among the nation’s first hemp activists. After his seminal poem Howl thrust him into the national spotlight in 1956, Ginsberg began speaking out in favor of marijuana-law reform, gay rights and a myriad of other causes close to his heart. Since then, he’s produced a body of work (including Planet News, the anti-nuke Plutonian Ode, and White Shroud) that has earned him the recognition of not only the counterculture, but also that of the literary establishment—receiving the 1974 National Book Award for The Fall…

In just a few short years, Revelry NYC has become the cannabis event where New York’s culture, commerce, and community converge. This year, it’s taking over Pier 36 in Manhattan on September 12–13, 2025, and according to co-founder Lulu Tsui, it’s bigger, more inclusive, and more dialed-in than ever. As the Chief Experience Officer for On The Revel, Tsui has spent years designing events that bridge the gap between New York’s rapidly evolving cannabis industry and the community that sustains it. “We create spaces, trade shows, events, and industry nights specifically for the cannabis industry,” Tsui told me. “To gather…
