Steve Bloom and Casper Leitch take Time 4 Hemp

In this 1991 video, High Times Magazine editor and Celebstoner publisher, Steve Bloom, talks with Time 4 Hemp's Casper Leitch about the importance of journalistic credibility, the cannabis culture and the diabolical attempt to prohibit it.

Steve Bloom, the news director and editor of High Times magazine, discusses the magazine's long-standing role in the hemp movement and the challenges they have faced as advocates. High Times, based in New York City, has faced legal issues, including a subpoena in New Orleans targeting the magazine for its coverage of indoor growing, resulting in a grand jury investigation and the indictment of a company president. Despite these challenges, High Times continues to thrive through sales and a dedicated readership.

Bloom also shares his personal experience of being arrested for a minor traffic violation that led to a search and seizure of a pipe, and how the power of the press helped him correct an injustice. He encourages journalists to approach their work with determination and high-quality manuscripts to get their perspectives published, addressing the hesitance of journalists to voice opinions on controversial topics due to potential backlash and lack of support from the publishing industry.

The magazine's focus on hemp information and its role in the counterculture movement are highlighted, with plans to incorporate the hemp industry and benefit from its growth. Bloom also discusses the international reach of the magazine and the need to adapt to changing laws in countries like Australia.
