Hello and welcome to High Today.

I’m the founder and editor behind this new cannabis media brand — and if you’re here, chances are you love cannabis, are curious about it, or simply want a smarter, more honest take on this world we’re all watching evolve.

This is our very first post. I wanted to start here — not with a product review, or an event recap — but with the story behind why this platform exists in the first place.

Our Mission

High Today is the modern voice of cannabis culture—covering the industry, the lifestyle, and the products shaping the way we consume. From the dispensary floor to the streets of NYC and beyond, we spotlight what matters to stoners, insiders, and the cannabis-curious.

We’re a cannabis media brand built on honesty, creativity, and culture. That means everything we write, share, or post is grounded in real experience — not hype.

Our content is rooted in the streets of New York and New Jersey, where legalization is new, but the culture runs deep. These are the places where unlicensed smoke shops sit across the street from licensed dispensaries, where legacy brands and startup labs are colliding daily. And we’re here to cover all of it — honestly and with intention.

Why We Love Cannabis

Cannabis is more than a product — it’s a portal.

For some, it’s a way to relax after work. For others, it’s medicine. For me, it’s been a creative unlock, a source of community, and a reminder that some of the best ideas are born when you’re just a little lifted.

At High Today, we believe cannabis deserves better coverage — not just in terms of quality, but of tone. Less hype, more honesty. Less “stoner bro,” more city-smart and culturally aware. That’s what we’re doing here.

We see weed as connected to everything else: music, fashion, food, health, nightlife, street art, technology, and New York hustle. Whether we’re reviewing a new edible or covering a community panel in Flatbush, we’re always keeping that bigger picture in mind.

Why We Started High Today

There are plenty of platforms that cover cannabis — but few that feel personal, local, and culture-first.

We started this because we were tired of two extremes:

• Overly corporate media outlets talking about “the cannabis space” like it’s just a stock portfolio

• Meme accounts with no real voice or accountability

There was room in between. That’s where High Today lives.

We’re here for:

• Real product reviews (not just affiliate cash grabs)

• Dispensary walkthroughs across NYC and NJ

• Founder stories, budtender insights, and industry reflections

• Street-level coverage of events, drops, and the people shaping the scene

If that sounds like your kind of content, you’re in the right place.

What to Expect From Us

We’re dropping new stories every week — and over time, we’ll expand to other markets based on demand. That means if you’re in Boston, Philly, or even LA, and you want us to review a product or cover an event, hit us up.

Here’s a peek at what’s coming:

• Product Reviews: From cartridges and flower to edibles and rolling gear

• Weed School in 60 Seconds: Bite-sized education for the curious and the seasoned

• Insider Spotlights: Featuring founders, cultivators, creatives, and budtenders

• Event Recaps: What went down at the last dispensary opening or canna-mixer

• Lifestyle Content: Best spots in NYC to vibe out, eat post-sesh, or light one with friends

We’re not here to be the loudest, or the biggest. We’re here to be real, and hopefully, useful.

Final Word

Cannabis has always been part of the culture. It just hasn’t always had a voice that reflects that.

That’s what High Today aims to be: not just a blog, but a voice, a resource, and a rallying point for the next generation of cannabis consumers, creators, and connoisseurs.

Thanks for reading. Let’s build this together.
