Something unusual happened this week. Instead of another fight between hemp, licensed cannabis, and the legacy world, a group of long-time organizers stepped forward with a call for unity.

On a quiet slope between San Bernardo and Conde Duque, the building at Noviciado 7 has stood for more than two centuries, silently watching Madrid change around it. Built in the 18th century, its nearly meter-thick stone walls have contained many lives: Jesuit novices in prayer, market vendors selling fish, whispered meetings during the Franco… Keep Reading
A conversation between Lesley Morrissey and an unnamed individual who said he was JFK’s weed dealer, first published in the Fall, 1974 issue of High Times.
