Rainbow Farm was a pro-marijuana campground in Newberg Township, Cass County, Michigan, United States, that was involved in a fatal police standoff on September 3, 2001.
The campground was run by Tom Crosslin and his life partner Rolland "Rollie" Rohm and was home to two annual festivals, "HempAid" and "Roach Roast", which ran from 1996 through 2001.
Guests included Tommy Chong, High Times editor Steve Hager, Merle Haggard, members of Big Brother and the Holding Company, and more.
He faced 20 years in prison and was out of jail on a $150,000 bail bond, as the state was moving to seize Rainbow Farm under civil asset forfeiture proceedings.
[4] At 3:45 a.m. on September 4, Rohm asked that his son be brought to see him and told police that if he was, he would surrender at 7 a.m.[5] Shortly after 6 a.m., a fire was reported at the Rainbow Farm residence.
