for 22 days marijuana was legal in Michigan 1972

The Michigan Supreme Court found him convincing.

The court fight that followed Sinclair's arrest for marijuana possession in 1967 — and the “Free John Now!” publicity campaign launched by artist and activist Leni Sinclair, who was John's wife at the time — briefly overturned Michigan's marijuana laws and gave hope to Michigan's more optimistic marijuana enthusiasts that legalization was within reach.

“We were such utopianists,” Leni Sinclair recalls.

We were not sure if it was real or not. The cops still would have taken your weed I am sure. It was too big of a risk.
