Attorney General Dana Nessel to speak at 50th Anniversary Ann Arbor Hash Bash

 

The Ann Arbor Hash Bash will return in-person for its 50th anniversary next month with an appearance by Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel.

The event will be held on April 2 on the Diag at the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus which has drawn thousands of people in recent years with a lineup of speakers and musicians.

The annual event started in 1972 as a show of support for John Sinclair, a poet and activist initially sentenced to 10 years in jail for possession of two joints.

Appearances by elected officials are not a new thing, but organizers said Nessel’s appearance on stage will be a Bash first for a sitting attorney general.

Jamie Lowell, one of the organizers of this year’s event, said: “After the pandemic forced us to move the Hash Bash to a digital format for two years, it feels good to get back to the in-person rally that the Bash is famous for.

We are happy to partner with the University of Michigan’s chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy on this project.”

News about the Hash Bash

MLive Article

ANN ARBOR, MI — The 50th anniversary of the Ann Arbor Hash Bash will be a classic marijuana fest honoring the event’s long history and activism still happening, organizers say.

“I’m really proud to say that this Hash Bash event is going back to its political roots,” said co-organizer Matt Dargay, a University of Michigan social work graduate student and president of Students for Sensible Drug Policy at UM.

“Hash Bash really started as a protest around the arrest and incarceration of a person who was in possession of marijuana,” Dargay said, referring to Ann Arbor poet and pot activist John Sinclair, who was serving a 10-year prison sentence for two joints and was freed not long before the first Hash Bash took place on the UM Diag in April 1972, after Michigan’s felony marijuana law was declared unconstitutional.

“That’s really where things started,” Dargay said. “And this time around, to celebrate the 50th anniversary, the activism and advocacy angle is very much going to be a part of it.”

Organizers expect several thousand cannabis enthusiasts from across Michigan and beyond to be in attendance for the 51st-annual rally on the UM Diag at high noon April 2.

“I am really excited to say that Hash Bash is back in person,” Dargay said. “It’s going to be a great day.”

About 30 speakers are expected to take the stage over the course of two hours, including U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit and many activists involved in the marijuana movement. Music will follow, and the event will once again spill over into the Monroe Street Fair.

Co-organizer Jamie Lowell said he has reserved a spot in the lineup for past organizer and emcee Adam Brook to introduce Sinclair, making sure people know their place in history.

“Adam, after all, is the one who brought John Sinclair back into the fold in the ‘90s, and we’re very appreciative of that and the work that he did to emcee for so many years there,” Lowell said. “This is paying tribute to the culture and the history and Adam’s obviously a huge part of that.”

In addition to the usual Hash Bash musical performances by Tom Wall of Cosmic Knot and Ann Arbor blues rocker Laith Al-Saadi, who plays the national anthem on electric guitar, organizers promise plenty of advocacy around marijuana bills pending in the Michigan Legislature, including the John Sinclair Act introduced by state Rep. Yousef Rabhi, D-Ann Arbor. And there will be a criminal record expungement booth set up to help people take steps to clear past marijuana convictions.
