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.
