Saturday’s 39th annual Hash Bash, the yearly gathering where people openly smoke marijuana on the University of Michigan’s Diag plaza, could draw the event’s biggest turnout ever, organizer Adam Brook said.
The record was about 10,000 pot smokers, who jammed “almost shoulder to shoulder” on a fine spring day a decade or so ago, but perhaps 12,000 or more will squeeze in on Saturday, from noon to 1 p.m., thanks to the good weather that’s expected, combined with widespread enthusiasm for Michigan’s 15-month-old medical-marijuana law...
Public smoking or other use of marijuana remains illegal, even for state-approved medical patients, according to the Michigan Department of Community Health. Still, enforcement has been minimal, if not non-existent, at previous Hash Bashes.
