Chuck Ream will be presented with the Lester Grinspoon Lifetime Achievement Award at this years’s High Times Cannabis Cup event, being held in Clio on July 26 and 27.
Ream is the longtime cannabis activist from Ann Arbor that spearheaded the move to legalize medical marijuana in that city in 2004, but that is just a single jewel the a crown of achievement that Ream has earned. In the announcement notice, High Times said, “Chuck is a tireless advocate for cannabis, exhibiting more energy and enthusiasm for the cause than activists a third his age.”
