Does anyone know if High Times drug tests when you apply for a job at their magazine?

Reality sucks

I'm the associate publisher of High Times and someone brought this discussion to my attention. My common joke is "Sure we drug test. You just have to fail" Not really. I know the question was a joke but here's the truth: High Times does not drug test and we never will. Random drug testing is almost always a fundemental violations of the 4th Amendment (although the Supreme Court says otherwise). And we hope to keeping providing options for stoners who are targeted by this increasing travesty of justice. I hope that answers your question.

Thanks for the form.

Happy 420 everyone.
