It's "High Times" for High Times Magazine

Forty years ago a drug-smuggling, leftist radical who went by the alias Tom Forçade launched an underground magazine called High Times. The periodical tapped into a 1970s drug culture that was accepting of marijuana (among other substances), and was a nearly instant success. According to former High Times multimedia director John Holstrom, early editions of the magazine sold more than 1 million copies each, solely through “underground” distribution.
