Bob Marley is the fastest-rising, highest-flying star in music today. Like most members of Jamaica’s Rastafarian religion, Bob smokes about a pound of marijuana, or “herb,” a week. High Times visited with Bob on his most recent American tour, and we found a lot of things to talk about. High Times: Have you seen High Times magazine? Marley: Hard Times? Ooo-eee! Oooeee!

Hey, girl, what’s your flavor? Chic brunette or blonde bombshell? Diplomatic elegance or overflowing glamour? Jackie or Marilyn? ¡Trick question! It’s irrelevant. Because both (yes, both) let their guard down and got cozy with a little smoke. At least once. Jackie Kennedy: Hashy Sweets To Dance The Pain Away Back in 1963, Jackie Kennedy had just endured the unthinkable: the death of her baby boy, Patrick.

“Why criminalize your own citizens for something most people in Congress are probably doing on the low?” Ice Cube doesn’t pull punches. He never has. The rapper, actor and entrepreneur calls out the hypocrisy around cannabis with the same unfiltered grit that made him a force in music and film: direct, unapologetic, sharp as ever. Cube grew up with the smell of weed in the air. “My older siblings were teenagers when I was a youngster running around, so I’d smell it all the time,” he says. By the time he was a teen himself, curiosity took over. “I was…

As debates over cannabis reform continue across the globe, Uruguay remains the only country with more than a decade of real-world data on full adult-use legalization. That milestone took on new significance this year with the death of José “Pepe” Mujica, the former president who championed the world’s first national legalization framework. Mujica’s law, passed in 2013, was never about profit. It aimed to dismantle hypocrisy, protect public health and reduce the harms of prohibition. Today, his vision lives on through Uruguay’s cannabis system, which continues to evolve and offer insights to countries still grappling with reform. At C-Days 2025,…

Original publication: March 1983. THE SUPER GROW ROOM They’re the wave of the future— cost effective, secure and efficient. American marijuana cultivators are the most sophisticated, scientific farmers in the world. In just a few years they have mastered the techniques of breeding, hybridization, sinsemilla cultivation and curing. They have doubled and redoubled the yield and potency of their crops. Although the media usually concentrates interest on outdoor “farmers,” most outdoor growers these days raise only their own stash, or operate in a limited area using a controlled environment—i.e., a grow room. The high cost of marijuana and the risk…

“My mom was dying from cancer and I wanted her off all the medications that were basically killing her,” says Gary Payton, recalling the deeply personal journey that brought him to cannabis. “I wanted her to live and she wasn’t responding to the things that I was doing.

Still connected to basketball—coaching, mentoring and practicing daily—Payton has now expanded his focus to a new passion: promoting cannabis for wellness. His…
