Just went to target today and saw a High Times. Been 30yrs so i was pretty psyched to buy one..
After skimming through i am thoroughly disappointed.
Dominated with commercial growing articles/interviews
Not a single homegrow
No bud of the month
No ad for the phototron

This is some bullshit!

I think they came out in the mid-70s didn't they? I remember driving down to high on the hill in Cincinnati and picking up a high times magazine. Very seldom did I buy bud that looked like anything in the magazine. My buddy bought an isomerizer down at high on the hill back then. I like it better now. I just bought a zip of Durban Poison for 120 in Michigan. Back in the day I drive around for an hour or two to find something worth buying. And then it wasn't worth buying.

Hell ta the no! Not back then!

Anybody ever buy a lid? Why did they call 'em "lids" anyway? Remember ounces
for 10 bux? Anybody? Heehee. Red eye shit, make you eat like a pig coming off a serious
crash diet. Heehee, my buds and I'd smoke jay's all saturday, listen to grateful dead, or
hendrix or cream on my monaural hifi, sit around for a couple hours, somebody'd say
"Hey, got any food?" We'd raid my paltry pantry, get out some bread, butter, or crackers a
can a chili, gobble that down. Fire up another jay or two, couple hours later, do-over again.
But about then, i'd be outta damn food, so we'd jump in who ever had a car, and head down to donuts,
grocery store, or where ever there was a bite, get more food, eat it, rinse and repeat. This
might go on for 12 or more hours on a saturday. Those were the days. We never thot it'd
ever be legal, but we dreamed about it. Some of the best smoke I ever had back then, really.
Wth's this gotta do with HT? Well, it wasn't even a thing back then, so I never bought it when
it did begin publication. But if i ever saw it, kinda like playboy, i didn't read the articles but i'd
sure look at the pix. I hesitate to post this link, but wtf, i say:

High Times introduced me to The SSSC and The Seedbank.
Phototron I had two friends buy them. As I recall the phototron formula made your seeds all female. This was way before female seeds. Am I hallucinating in my old age. How is that possible.

High Times was shit 20 years ago. All magazines are just advertising catalogues now. I'm into classic VWs, if you buy a VW magazine these days it is 75% adverts and featured cars that have been restored by their sponsors.
