The Ann Arbor Hash Bash is one of the oldest political rallies of any kind in the United States of America. The event originally took place on the Diag on April 1st, 1972 to celebrate the release of activist and culture figure, John Sinclair, from prison on cannabis related charges. For several weeks in 1972, there were no prohibitive marijuana laws in the State of Michigan, and the Hash Bash rally was a way to protest the new laws being enacted on April 3rd. The event also celebrated Ann Arbor's historic city ordinance decriminalizing cannabis, and equating possession to a $5 fine akin to a parking ticket.

Come join on the Diag at High Noon on Saturday, April 5th to celebrate past drug policy reforms, protest the cruel and unjust War on Drugs and learn how you can get involved. This year's allstar list of speakers includes 2 State Representatives, student activists, a former police officer, medical marijuana patients, John Sinclair himself, and many more.

Rain or Shine, this event will take place. We encourage you to follow the UofM's No-Smoking policy and keep in mind that Ann Arbor's decriminalization ordinance does not apply to campus.
