The editorial in the premiere issue reads, "Times have changed and a decade has passed since those halcyon days of 1967 which saw the dawning of the alternative culture with its many new art forms and life-style. Getting high and tripping were the new experience in the psychedelic age. Like all cultural, social, political and spiritual movements, many transformations have since taken place. The flower children of that summer of love have grown up and most of the culture they spawned has been assimilated into the wider society. Dope, which was once something that only the hippies took, is now widely accepted and used. Public opinion is now moving towards a more tolerant attitude to cannabis smoking...This is the year of Home Grown...Home Grown will aim at presenting an enlightened and informative, as well as entertaining, attitude to dope and related subjects - views and approaches not expressed by the popular press and other media....Into the New Age..."
