Hallucinogen use among individuals under community corrections supervision with a history of substance involvement was associated with a reduced likelihood of supervision failure, such as noncompliance with legal requirements including alcohol and other drug use. In a longitudinal study of 25,622 people, those who used hallucinogens had 40% lower odds of supervision failure after controlling for confounding factors. The findings suggest hallucinogens may promote abstinence and prosocial behavior in a population with high rates of recidivism.
