Ypsilanti Courier, 05 Jun 2013 – Ypsilanti will not impose an emergency moratorium against new medical marijuana dispensaries and grow facilities, despite pleas from several residents to consider the ordinance. "All of these drugs right now are tearing up our community," said Ypsilanti resident Brian Foley, who has lived in the city for 53 years. "I’m a recovering addict. I know the pain of addiction and we have a lot of pain on my side of town. I’m a lifelong resident of Ypsilanti. I don’t want my city to be known as the dope capital of the midwest."
