Eastern Echo, 01 Sep 2010 - Marijuana has been illegal for years, but that hasn't stopped people from trying to legalize it. Every year on the first Saturday of April, Hash Bash in Ann Arbor rallies for the legalization of marijuana, held on the University of Michigan's campus. At Hash Bash, they rebel by smoking marijuana in public. During Hash Bash this year, people all over Ann Arbor were handing out business cards of doctors known to give the OK on receiving medical marijuana cards. This is because in 2008, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act passed, which allows someone to legally smoke marijuana. Licensed medical marijuana dispensaries such as 3rd Coast Compassion Center on North Hamilton St. in Ypsilanti are becoming widespread.
