Rainbow Farmとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Beginning in 1996, the two annual Rainbow Farm events, 'HempAid' (on Memorial Day) and 'Roach Roast' (on Labor Day), were part Woodstock, part union picnic. They were family-oriented affairs, with Rohm's son, Robert, wheeling his golf cart among the soft-drink stands and hemp clothing vendors and representatives from the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws. Cannabis smoke in the air, festival-goers listened to onstage speakers rally against government oppression. Guests included the chairman of the Van Buren County Libertarian Party, Tommy Chong of "Cheech and Chong" fame, High Times editor Steve Hager, Merle Haggard, members of Big Brother and the Holding Company, and John Sinclair, the White Panther Party jefe and MC5 manager who, in 1969, had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for possessing two joints. Most of these guests, unlike Crosslin or Rohm, could trace a linage to radicalism of the 1960s, when they played to a more engaged audience. The legal loophole that Crosslin used to hold these gatherings without sparking mass arrests was that he, his employees and the concessionaires who paid to be a part of the festival sold absolutely no drugs.
