Another city in Michigan has recently agreed to prioritize local enforcement of laws pertaining to psychedelic substances. Additionally, they have shown their endorsement for a bill at the statewide level that aims to legalize specific ethogenic plants and fungi.
On Tuesday, the Ypsilanti City Council unanimously approved the psychedelics measure after hearing testimonies from supporters.
The whereas section on our website acknowledges the potential of psychedelics to facilitate transformative personal and spiritual experiences.

It also points out that the Washtenaw County District Attorney’s office expressed support for a similar resolution that was adopted in Ann Arbor in 2020.
The latest measure specifically says that it is not intended to legalize the commercial sale of psychedelics.
It declares that the arrest and investigation of individuals involved in psychedelics-related activities, including possession and cultivation, are deemed as the City of Ypsilanti’s lowest priority for law enforcement.
It is also emphasized that no city funds or resources will be utilized in any investigations, detentions, arrests, or prosecutions related to alleged violations of state and federal laws concerning the use of Entheogenic Plants.
