Ypsilanti, Michigan, embraces decriminalization of psychedelic plants and fungi

Ypsilanti, Michigan, has recently aligned with over two dozen cities across the United States by adopting a progressive stance on the personal use of psychedelic plants and fungi, including “magic mushrooms.” This landmark decision was unanimously agreed upon by city leaders on Tuesday, January 9th [2024], signaling a shift in local drug policy.

Importantly, the resolution also bars the use of city funds or resources for any law enforcement activities related to these plants. This move aligns with the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office’s existing policy of not prosecuting such cases. With this decision, Ypsilanti becomes one of the 27 communities nationwide to adopt such a progressive approach towards psychedelic plants and fungi, marking a significant moment in the ongoing conversation about drug policy and decriminalization.
