On Wednesday evening, the Student Association of Psychedelic Studies stood before the Michigan Court of Claims to sue the University of Michigan over its denial of a permit for their annual Entheofest in the Diag. The court ruled in favor of SAPS, permitting them to hold the festival. Entheofest aims to promote the benefits of plant medicines and celebrate the five-year anniversary of the decriminalization of psychedelics in Ann Arbor.

In July, SAPS submitted its application to the University for a permit to host their fifth-annual Entheofest on the Diag. In early August, they received a denial letter .

Jim Salame, Entheofest founder and a SAPS collaborator, told The Michigan Daily he was surprised when he heard the news, especially given that Hash Bash received a permit.
