Vintage High Times Content: "I Remember Punk" by Legs McNeil

In the late 70's, High Times magazine began to cover the burgeoning punk rock scene here in the U.S. and abroad. Most notably, they hired Legs McNeil, a writer for the New York based Punk magazine as a semi-regular columnist. In this article Legs reminisces over the early days of Punk magazine and the punk scene at large. He has a unique and enjoyable writing style which is easy to get absorbed in, and his New York-centric viewpoint always makes for entertaining subject matter.

"Deal For Real" an article by Timothy Leary reprinted for High Times Magazine April '78

This is a nice little scan from the April 1978 issue of High Times. In the article, Mr. Leary espouses the philosophy of the "Righteous Dealer". I don't know how applicable this would be to today's black/grey market economy for illicit drugs and chemicals, but it certainly makes for an interesting read.

Belated Birthday Artwork

I was going to post this on December 1st when i turned 27 but for some reason forgot. This was drawn by an old friend of mine and sent from jail where he was in for bashing someone over the head with a lock tied to a bandanna. He's an extremely talented artists as you can tell, ironically some of his violent tendencies seem to come out through the drawing, though this is one of my favorite birthday gifts I've ever received. Hopefully he's found a job as a comic book illustrator by now. Dan Tomczak, wherever you are now, thanks bro.
