Chris Simunek, the new editor in chief of High Times, is looking to put hard-hitting, relevant War on Drugs political journalism back into the magazine, which is why he personally led the charge by gabbing with Oliver Stone about his latest movie. Well, I guess that's not fair. Savages is kind of about the drug war, and Stone is no stranger to—or opponent of—the ol' thunder cabbage. So, he's well within the magazine's bailiwick. It just seems a little convenient to me that they kicked this plan off with a venerated celebrity.
