high times

Period of prosperity

High times are periods of excitement, enjoyment, or prosperity—the good days when things are going well: We had some high times back in college.

The phrase often carries nostalgic overtones, suggesting memorable experiences now past.

It also connotes partying or drug use, reinforced by the cannabis culture magazine of the same name.
