On-the-High Literary Journal is an online literary journal that publishes the works of emerging and established writers. Poems, short stories, essays, art, and other forms of writing that have been born in the stoned minds of individuals are welcome and encouraged (no pressure), although we'd never know if you were actually high. 

(We cannot be held responsible for what comes of the writing process.) 

On-the-High Literary Journal's Issue 6 theme focuses on mental health & well-being. To the many people out there who struggle with mental health, whether it be obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, anorexia, and many more, all mental health deserves equal awareness. the theme also focuses on the well-being and self-care of people as they navigate the good and bad days amidst therapy sessions, new medications, nutrition, fitness, and other lifestyle adaptations.

sometimes just being heard, acknowledged, and listened to is what we need. so we want to give you the opportunity and space to say, "hear me out." here is the chance to talk without being interrupted. we give the floor to you; we're all ears.
