Here’s a guide to Hash Bash 2022- Thousands of people are expected to gather on the University of Michigan’s Diag to show their support for reforming marijuana laws. 

Held annually since 1972, the 50th-anniversary event will highlight the cannabis industry, marijuana legislation and cannabis activism.

Hash Bash organizers told MLive that this year’s speakers include advocate John Sinclair, Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit, U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, Rep. Yousef Rabhi (D-Ann Arbor) and other local activists. The speakers list has not been finalized.
