by Ray Schultz , July 13, 2025

High Times has named Javier Hasse as acting editor in chief.

Hasse, previously a reporter, “agreed to be part of the rebuild team,” says new owner Josh Kesselman, according to CelebStoner. “He's taking over for now and will build a team to run it more permanently."

Kesselman, the founder of RAW Rolling Papers, purchased the magazine, its Cannabis Cups events and their assets in an all-cash transaction totaling $3.5 million, in June. Also involved as a partner in the deal was former owner Matt Stang.
