Javier Hasse Named Editor-in-Chief of High Times
A New Era for Cannabis Journalism
Cannabis journalism is at a turning point, and High Times Magazine, the iconic Godfather of Cannabis Journalism, just set the pace by naming Javier Hasse as its new Editor-in-Chief. For anyone who cares deeply about the evolution of cannabis reporting, this announcement signals more than just a new name in the masthead; it's a promise that the stories shaping our industry will be handled with insight, and integrity. No one is paying Javier for placement. He is the real deal.
Javier Hasse brings impressive credentials to the legendary publication. Renowned for his tenure at Benzinga, where he led cannabis coverage and broke stories that made global industry impact. Javier’s byline became synonymous with trusted, nuanced cannabis reporting. As an author and thought leader, his work has been published in outlets such as Forbes, Rolling Stone, and Entrepreneur. Every who is anyone in Cannabis knows and trusts his word.
His seamless blend of business acumen and cultural understanding ensures that High Times' content will resonate with everyone from boardrooms to budtenders.
On a personal note, Javier was instrumental in validating my own career in the cannabis media landscape. As a freelance journalist navigating the burgeoning, sometimes intimidating, Michigan cannabis scene, it was Javier who entrusted me with my first series of cannabis-focused articles. That early support not only opened doors but also gave me the confidence and credibility to advocate for our community's stories. His patience as an editor and his dedication to accurate, powerful storytelling set the standard I strive to uphold every day.
Having worked alongside some of the industry’s most respected editors, I can say without reservation: High Times couldn’t have made a better choice. Javier Hasse isn’t just a knowledgeable writer, he’s a fierce advocate, and a visionary leader. Under his guidance, expect High Times to remain the premier source for how the world learns about what's going on in cannabis.
