Episode 44 – Debby Goldsberry – Hash Wednesday – Illinois Cannabis History

In this episode, I’m joined by Debby Goldsberry, a seasoned drug policy advocate and founder of the Cannabis Action Network. We cover Hash Wednesday, her cannabis industry journey, and discuss the crucial reforms needed in cannabis policy.

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!
