LOS ANGELES - Mar. 27, 2020 — Hightimes Holding Corp., the owner of High Times®, the most well-known brand in cannabis, has announced today the signing of a letter of intent to acquire California-based cannabis holding company Humboldt Heritage Inc. and its subsidiaries Humboldt Sun Growers Guild and Grateful Eight LLC.
The Humboldt Heritage acquisition provides High Times with cannabis growing, processing and product manufacturing capabilities direct from the most coveted cannabis community in the world, Humboldt County.

“High Times’s mission is to connect consumers to cannabis – not only the best access and experience, but by producing the best products available for our consumers across the country, and eventually the world,” Adam Levin, Hightimes Holding Corp.’s Executive Chairman, said. “This addition adds 200+ of the best cannabis-producing farms in the world, and provides the rest of the capabilities we’ll need to grow into the future as we expand the High Times family!”
“Joining with High Times allows our cultivators and their artisan brands unprecedented exposure to consumers as High Times reaches millions of people all over the world. The farmers in Humboldt County have been leading parallel missions to High Times over the past 45 years,” says Barry Nachshon, CEO of Humboldt Heritage Inc. “Knowing that we will be part of the High Times family, as well as a key manufacturing and supply chain partner as the company enters the retail and delivery markets in California, is very exciting for our team.”
Consummation of the acquisition of Humboldt Heritage is subject to customary closing conditions, including the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements.
