A Michigan student group won a court case to hold Entheofest, a psychedelic education event, on campus despite initial denials.

A student group, the Student Association of Psychedelic Studies, won a court case allowing the fifth annual Entheofest to take place on the University of Michigan’s Diag despite initial denial over legal and safety concerns. The event, held on September 21, 2025, drew about 100 attendees in rainy weather to celebrate Ann Arbor’s 2020 decriminalization of psychedelics and promote education on plant medicines. Organizers, who faced last-minute permit issues and lost speakers and sponsors, emphasized the event’s non-commercial, educational nature, distributing harm reduction resources and advocating for policy reform. University officials and police monitored the gathering, prompting criticism over enforcement, though no arrests were made. The ruling marks a milestone in student free expression and reflects growing advocacy for psychedelic reform.
