The court fight that followed Sinclair's arrest for marijuana possession in 1967 — and the “Free John Now!” publicity campaign launched by artist and activist Leni Sinclair, who was John's wife at the time — briefly overturned Michigan's marijuana laws and gave hope to Michigan's more optimistic marijuana enthusiasts that legalization was within reach.
