On June 17, 2025, it was announced that High Times, the single most recognized brand in counterculture, cannabis and psychedelics, has been resurrected and is set to resume publication. Entrepreneur and RAW Rolling Papers founder Josh Kesselman purchased the magazine, Cannabis Cups and their associated assets in an all-cash transaction. Alongside partner and former 2000s-era High Times co-owner Matt Stang, the $3.5 million acquisition revives the publication that featured counterculture legends like Charles Bukowski, Willie Nelson, Debbie Harry, Hunter S. Thompson and Bob Marley.

Founded in 1974, High Times rose to prominence as an underground icon. As of 2024, the brand had fallen into receivership, leaving its future uncertain. Kesselman’s intent with the relaunch is to galvanize the cannabis community and reinvigorate newer generations’ interest in the culture and its legends.
