High Times Freedom Fighters
The High Times Freedom Fighters was a marijuana legalization group started in 1987. The High Times Freedom Fighters, known for their Colonial attire, staged hemp rallies nationwide. The Boston Freedom Rally, one such event, became the country’s largest political gathering, attracting over 100,000 attendees to the Boston Common.
They injected life into the legalization movement, forged a new generation of activists, and created a number of events around the country.
After the group disbanded, High Times continued to name a Freedom Fighter of the Month in every issue of the magazine, as well as an annual Freedom Fighter of the Year, who is always crowned at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam.
