Inside the 2023 Ann Arbor psychedelic shroom fest at the University of Michigan

University of Michigan police stood watch over the event, which was attended by hundreds of people, many in shroom-themed attire. Baggies full of shrooms could be had for $40 on Sunday, while shroom grow kits sold for $30. Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit was among the afternoon’s speakers and reassured the crowd they had nothing to worry about if they were partaking.

Among the officials who spoke at the event was Washtenaw County Commissioner Yousef Rabhi, D-Ann Arbor, who offered an enthusiastic endorsement of psychedelics. “Power to the people! Power to the planet! Power to the plants!” he yelled out to conclude a high-energy speech. The festivities included musical entertainment and speeches by activists and elected officials who support broad decriminalization of the hallucinogenic natural substances… it was a mostly chill affair and police reported no arrests or issues of concern.
