Episode 12 – Joshua Sloan – Hash Wednesday – Illinois Cannabis History

This is the third episode in a series of episodes that I will be doing on Hash Wednesday.

In this episode, I speak with Joshua Sloan. During the episode, he shares his firsthand experience of participating in an Illinois cannabis tradition known as Hash Wednesday. From what I’ve been able to tell, Hash Wednesday started sometime in the 70s.

What is Hash Wednesday? According to the NewsGazette: “With the click of a lighter, Hash Wednesday was born on the University of Illinois Quad in 1977. It was modeled after other “hash bashes,” particularly the one in Ann Arbor, Mich., which supported reform of marijuana laws, according to co-founder Mitch Altman.”

Soon I will share all of the photos featured in this episode. In the meantime, enjoy this captivating episode!
