Detroit voters approve decriminalization of magic mushrooms and other entheogenic plants
Now that it’s passed, Detroit’s law department and police will determine how to interpret decriminalization of entheogenic plants. City attorneys cite legal precedents from Coalition for a Safer Detroit v Detroit City Clerk, stating that election officials do not have the authority to “assess the substance of the petition or to determine whether, if passed, it would conflict with state law.”
“There is no virtue in speculating about how the City would handle the mandate of the initiative… Like every other city in the U.S., Detroit can only make ordinances consistent with state and federal laws,” Corporation Counsel Lawrence Garcia wrote in an email ahead of the vote. “Therefore… the City will have to work within that framework.”
