Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles

annual event held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on the first Saturday of April
at high noon on the University of Michigan Diag. A collection of
speeches, live music, street vending and occasional civil disobedience
are centered on the goal of reforming federal, state, and local
marijuana laws. The first Hash Bash was held on Saturday, April 1 1972
in response to the March 9th 1972 decision by Michigan Supreme Court
declaring unconstitutional the law used to convict cultural activist
John Sinclair for possession of two marijuana joints. This action left
the State of Michigan without a law prohibiting the use of marijuana
until after the weekend of April 1 1972. Chef Ra was a fixture of the
Hash Bash for 19 consecutive years before his death in late 2006.
