History
The magazine was founded in 2009 by Jeremy Zachary with the stated mission of informing and entertaining the estimated 500,000-plus medical-cannabis patients in the Greater Southern California area. The first issue was published in June 2009.Zachary developed his concept for CULTURE after noting a lack of cannabis publications that directly addressed the interests of the average medical-marijuana patient. Most either promoted cannabis cultivation and/or the "stoner" lifestyle. With Southern California’s medical-cannabis industry growing rapidly, Zachary believed a publication was needed that eschewed politics and the "pothead" image and, instead, focused on the general interests and lifestyles of those who used cannabis medicinally.
The Washington edition debuted April 2012, while Bay Area and Colorado started circulation in earlier that January. Michigan premiered later in July 2012, and Oregon which began in late 2013.
On June 21, 2018, it was announced that Culture Magazine was acquired by High Times. Culture Magazine is no longer published.
