I'm looking

of everything

It's been Welcome to annew, great moments in weed history.

My guest this week founded an iconic cannabis magazine back in the 1970s, and nope, I'm not talking about High Times.

RIP to High Times founder Tom Fassad, who passed away in 1978.

You can hear his life story in a special two-part episode of great moments in weed history

if you scroll a few years back in the archive.

So, who are we about to get lit with?

At almost the exact same time Tom Fassad was starting up high time, Charlotte Parker was founding

Head Magazine as an independent publication while still working her entry-level editing job

at Penthouse.

You know, she took everything she learned at that iconic adult publication and basically applied it to covering the world of weed.

Looking back at a few covers from those 1970s glory days shows Charlotte was very well ahead of the curve with stories like how to make hash oil in your kitchen and how to grow the most potent pot plants indoors. Plus, had featured interviews with the likes of Patty Smith, a lot of cultural coverage, and reviews of the best weed and hash then available. So, needless to say, Charlotte and I had a lot to talk about,

especially seeing as my first job in publishing was also at Penthouse, and of course, I spent

a decade plus as an editor at High Times. Yes, say it with me back when it was cool.

I never met Charlotte before this conversation

as she's been out of the weed game for a few decades.

But when I saw that she's bringing head back,

starting with headmagine.com,

I knew we had to sit down for a sesh.

It was great to talk with another weed publisher of the print era, because

the truth is, I really miss magazines as a cultural force and as an amazing place to work.
