City Council voted unanimously Monday night, Sept. 21, in favor of a resolution declaring it’s the city’s lowest law enforcement priority to investigate and arrest anyone for planting, cultivating, purchasing, transporting, distributing, engaging in practices with or possessing entheogenic plants or plant compounds.
That includes ayahuasca, ibogaine, mescaline, peyote, psilocybin mushrooms and other substances with hallucinogenic properties deemed illegal under state and federal law.

Always a positive thing but something tells me all the other superceding agencies won’t agree… 
& it’s part of the “please stay here middle class remnants!” campaign… like weed. 
CA went legal in 96, people flock to CA. CO/WA/OR wanted that lost economy back & go REC legal. people migrate… now to #$%^&( OKlahoma?!? 
sorry. grumpy morning. 
…but it ain’t because the city council cares about your health.

My small town decriminalized cannabis. So the chief of police made a statement saying they will prosecute under state law and not local law. Unfortunately decriminalization wont matter until it happens at a state level.

Well, Ann Arbor is an anomaly in that they decriminalized marijuana in 1971 by imposing a $5 fine, equivalent to a parking ticket, for possession. In 2004 voters approved the Ann Arbor Medical Marijuana Initiative which allowed the growing for medical purposes, which was 4 years before the voters in the state approved medical use. Every April since 1972 it is been home to the annual Hash Bash which these days usually draws upwards of 10,000 people.
