(HealthDay News) Young American adults have doubled their use of non-LSD hallucinogens in just a few years, a new report warns.
Researchers found that between 2018 and 2021, U.S. adults aged 19 to 30 increased their use of mescaline, peyote, psilocybin ("magic mushrooms") and PCP, though not LSD.
The prevalence of young adults' past-year use of these drugs was 3.4% in 2018, but it hit 6.6% in 2021.
