En español País ejemplar del mundo que tiene el control de la tierra y la humanidad Con iglesias clandestinas e ilusiones perdidas, con sueños sin esperanzas y movimientos sin fotos, como buenos habitantes — sólo controlan la droga y deportaciones con risas. Y paradas como enredadas humanas cuando ponen esposas, no saben las luces como transmitentes con buenas letras de ICE y police. Ni como hombre Ni como mujeres Se guardan respeto Uno al otro solo Buscan la peste entre Ellos mismo Me gusta la peste Porque no respeta la ley El arcoiris de la Libertad De expresiones la Previsión de U.S.A. en El sueno americano. An exemplary country that has control of the earth and humanity With clandestine churches and lost illusions, with hopeless dreams and movements without photos, like good people of this world — they only control drugs and deportations with laughter. And they stop the migrants when they put handcuffs on, Who don’t know the lights that flash behind them with good letters of ICE and police. Not even as a man Not even as women They respect each other One to the other alone They look for the plague among Themselves I like the plague Because it does not respect the law The rainbow of the Freedom Of expressions the U.S.A. service in The American Dream. 3 WHATS THE HAPP DEZZ CLARK Groundcover vendor No. 643 WHAT’S THE happ the happ is every day of life what has changed ?

John Sinclair was a founding member of the White Panther Party, manager of MC5, and publicist of the Ann Arbor Sun. Sinclair was arrested and sent to jail in 1969. He was sentenced for up to 10 years after he offered two undercover officers two joints. “10 for 2,” meaning 10 years for two joints, was the rallying cry to pull people together to fight for Sinclair’s release. He was freed from jail in 1972 by the Michigan Supreme Court when the possession of marijuana law was declared unconstitutional. This imprisonment and the movement to “Free John Sinclair” is what started Ann Arbor’s Hash Bash in the 1970’s. John Sinclair went on to speak at PONY BUSH Groundcover vendor No. 305 many bashes about legalization. Cheech and Chong did too. What I know about Hash Bash: • People speak about trying to legalize cannabis federally. • It is a celebration to smoke and relax and not have to worry about police harassment. • People make a lot of money selling edibles, cannabis, T-shirts, hoodies and other items. Times have changed; recreational marijuana has been legalized in Michigan. Different generations of people have participated in the Hash Bash — all kinds of people from all over. I see “old heads” still enjoying themselves at this event. It is a good time for everybody to come together and enjoy the outside with no harassment. Why should you go to Hash Bash? So you can see the people get high and enjoy themselves at this annual event, held on the first Saturday in April. Everybody knows what time it is when it is Hash Bash time! See you at noon on the Diag!
