High Grade Vintage Cannabis photography

[four seasons]

High Times sure has changed over the years. It seems to have shifted formats as fads in America came and went.
For a few years during the early eighties the mag was filled with pages of Cocaine articles and pictures which was a big turn off for me.
The mag has since shifted away from actual global reporting with smart detailed articles to a more "pop" mag geared towards the younger less educated consumer. Unfortunitly many young smokers of today are not as interested in global cultural cannabis and drug issues and are mostly buying the mag for the sleek glossy photos of the Modern Strains of todays .


Thanks all

Thank you all.



Lately I have had lots of time on hand so I definitly dont mind scanning these for us.
Being a cancer survivor I spend most of my time giving back and sharing good karma. These are the things that matter the most.

Thanks for posting up those hawaiians.

I asked this once in tokers den but here seems like a better place.

What the hell ever happened to "R."?

Did he write a goodbye column? Did he die? Quit smoking pot? Anyone know what his last article was?

Thats cool to be able to and see what mj was back then. One thing i noticed is they didn't like to trim back then?

i've always wondered the same thing. my pet theory is that 'R.' was Ed Rosenthal... but really, who knows?

The writing styles are very different, in my opinion.

some of those photos are some hardcore looking sativa landrace,
reminds me of a photos of asian fantasy, congo, "paranoid as shit" thai/viet
some of those oaxacan mexican look like seeded "mids" I see even today that are most def mex sativa like that.
nope, those are not your every day amsterdamerized indica sat hybrids.
Thankfully more breeders have landrace collections or atleast one strain...the different girls and buds of different countries make life worth living, its all about making it out there to sample them yum.

I agree I dont think ED was R. Not to knock ED but the writing style of R gets right into the core of the imagination. His discriptive style is very advanced and definitly more creative.
Maybe Robert Connel Clark ?

Haze Brothers Indica-Sativa Cross: Larry, Curly and Mo

While previously the brothers Haze have been known for their intense indicas, particularly the spectacular purples of past years.

WTF? I thought Haze brothers were Sativa through and through?

WTF? I thought Haze brothers were Sativa through and through?

not at all, at least if High Times is to be believed. one of 'R's year-end harvest reports from '81 or '82 features a photo & review of a "Haze Bros Kush" bud. i'll try to dig it out unless Four Seasons beats me to it...

I thought there were two, not three brothers. So it's news to me as well, but at any rate they made and made famous "haze". It was one of the pinnacle strains. But I also read they usually had over thirty varieties every season.

They were greenhouse growers who let the plants finish long, and resins to ripen. So it really probably was some of the finest weed back then.

Thanks for posting/scanning these amazing articles/pics Four Seasons!

These are a true history lesson of yesteryears strains just a shame they're not widely available so us young un's could experience the mind blowing effects they seemed to have offered, not to say great sativas aren't available anymore but smoking some of these would be like hopping in a time machine.

This thread is art work. I just found some stuff from 1988-1992, not vintage, but still pretty awesome. "Kushman"

Cizaña (darnel),an old colombian strain from Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta,acclimatized to Spain for years.
Maybe charlie knows more about this variety
