First Oregon legalized psilocybin with Ballot Measure 109, approved by voters in November 2020. Then Colorado followed suit, but with the possibility of legalizing other classic psychedelics soon, via Proposition 122, approved by voters in November 2022. So who’s next?
Many insiders are looking at Michigan, which has stepped up its decriminalization movements over the last two years, as the answer to that question.
A third city in the state, the Detroit suburb of Hazel Park, approved a psychedelics decriminalization bill when a city council resolution was approved in September. The moved followed similar efforts in Ann Arbor (a resolution approved unanimously by city council in September 2020) and Detroit (Proposal E, approved by just over 61% of voters in November 2021).
In addition, a resolution declaring support for decriminalization was adopted in Grand Rapids, in September 2021.
Several other Michigan cities are also working on similar decriminalization measures, including:
- Flint
- Lansing
- East Lansing
- Madison Heights
- Traverse City
- Ypsilanti
No other state appears to be on the same fast-track to getting full-state psychedelics legalization as Michigan.
