The life and times of High Timesโ enigmatic founder Thomas King Forรงade, an underground newspaper editor and marijuana kingpin whoโbetween police raids, smuggling runs, and outrageous stuntsโbattled both the US government and fellow radicals.
At the end of the 1960s, the mysterious Tom Forรงade suddenly appeared, insinuating himself into the top echelons of countercultural politics and assuming control of the Underground Press Syndicate, a coalition of newspapers across the country. Weathering government surveillance and harassment, he embarked on a landmark court battle to obtain White House press credentials. But his audacious exploitsโpieing Congressional panelists, stealing presidential portraits, and picking fights with other activistsโled to accusations that he was an agent provocateur.
