Measured over 32 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 68 interactions against 687K followers, an engagement rate of 0.01%. Measured over 32 original posts, its engagement rate beats 33% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 12K times each, and 0.592% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.69% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 32 posts sampled, 41% carry an image or video and 84% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 532 interactions, about 7.8x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
High Times's engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 38% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.01%, High Times sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

HIGH TIMES' STRAIN OF THE WEEK: LEMON CHERRY GELATO Lemon Cherry Gelato is the kind of strain that explains why dessert weed took over the menu. Our new strain profile breaks down the sweet citrus, creamy cherry flavor, Gelato-family roots, and balanced hybrid high that turned this modern classic into one of the most recognizable names in the stash jar. ​ Check out the full strain profile → https://t.co/4kaZRtIUEt Image by Doc Hollywood GOT A NUGSHOT WE NEED TO SEE? 👉 https://t.co/vXbtN2i5SI

More THC doesn’t necessarily mean a much stronger high: New research found that doubling an inhaled dose from 5 mg to 10 mg increased the reported high by just 15%. The findings add to the debate over THC potency, with researchers looking beyond the percentage on the label to cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds in the plant. https://t.co/hyPHgukiKA

"Marijuana can no longer remain in Schedule I." -- That's the government's closing argument on rescheduling. Its lawyers attacked opposition witnesses, then quoted some to prove cannabis is medicine. One scientist was barely touched. She works for the DEA. @JavierHasse x @HIGH_TIMES_Mag: https://t.co/lRw6stZk9D

HIGH TIMES' STRAIN OF THE WEEK: GORILLA GLUE Gorilla Glue earned its name for a reason, with heavy resin, loud flavor, and the kind of sticky, hard-hitting high that made it a modern classic. Our new strain profile breaks down the strain’s diesel funk, couch-lock power, and why this gluey favorite still has growers and smokers stuck on it. ​ Check out the full strain profile → https://t.co/YCt0ZVrv8a Image by Thomas Messenger GOT A NUGSHOT WE NEED TO SEE? 👉 https://t.co/vXbtN2i5SI

TEN YEARS LATER, @wizkhalifa IS BACK ON THE COVER OF HIGH TIMES 🔥 The Summer/Fall issue is here, and we couldn’t think of a better way to kick it off than with Wiz. A lot can change in ten years and at 38, he’s bigger than ever, still smokes every day, still works like hell, and still refuses to play anybody’s idea of a stoner.

HIGH TIMES' STRAIN OF THE WEEK: PURPLE HAZE Purple Haze is one of those strain names that feels bigger than the jar, carrying decades of cannabis lore, music history, and old-school sativa mystique. Our new strain profile digs into the sweet berry flavor, hazy uplift, and purple-tinged legend that helped make this classic a permanent part of the culture. ​ Check out the full strain profile → https://t.co/9AZYisEm5L Image by Nico Nugs (@sewlie) GOT A NUGSHOT WE NEED TO SEE? 👉 https://t.co/vXbtN2hy3a

We’re putting together a major psychedelics section for an upcoming issue of High Times. What do you actually want us to cover? The questions nobody answers. The substances worth understanding. The culture, science, history, rituals, risks, strange experiences, people and ideas we shouldn’t miss. What belongs in it?

The government’s closing argument in the cannabis rescheduling case is in. Its lawyers asked the judge to move it out of Schedule I, then spent the final pages arguing that nearly every witness who opposed the change shouldn’t be believed. Several of those same witnesses ended up quoted in the brief, making the medical case. The one witness they barely touched is a pharmacologist who helped write the DEA’s own scientific review. The opposition cited her 25 times. The government named her once. https://t.co/lRw6stZk9D ✍️ @JavierHasse

- What is High Times's engagement rate on X?
- High Times (@HIGH_TIMES_Mag) has an engagement rate of 0.01%, based on the median interactions across 32 original posts from the last 30 days against 687,288 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.01%, High Times sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @HIGH_TIMES_Mag have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @HIGH_TIMES_Mag post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
