#OnThisDay In 1969, MC5 performs in University at Buffalo’s Clark Gym as part of The New World Drug Symposium. The New World Drug Symposium was an event organized by LEMAR, short for “Legalize Marijuana”. The event also featured speakers like Allen Ginsberg and Timothy Leary. The photo of Fred Smith was taken by French journalist Alain Dister. Do you remember The New World Drug Symposium? Did you get to go to this show or ever see MC5?
