Down the Rabbit Hole: A Large-Scale Survey of Psychedelic Users’ Patterns of Use and Perceived Effects

Journal of Psychoactive Drugs January 29, 2025 Carrie Cuttler, Amanda Stueber, Jonathan Simone et al. 3 citations

An online survey of 1,486 U.S. adults (average age 29.58, 67.1% male) examined patterns of psychedelic use. Respondents most often used MDMA, LSD, DMT, and psilocybin, primarily by oral administration and for recreational purposes. The most common acute effects were hallucinations, increased heart rate, positive mood, and visual tracers; residual effects included headaches, dry mouth, nausea, hallucinations, and anxiety. Distress about negative mood, vomiting, and nausea during acute effects was low on average. These findings can inform clinical trials and policy as psychedelic legality and accessibility evolve.

Acute effects of high-potency cannabis flower and cannabis concentrates on everyday life memory and decision making.

Scientific reports July 2, 2021 Carrie Cuttler, Emily M LaFrance, Amanda Stueber

Acute use of high-potency cannabis impairs memory and increases false memories, regardless of whether it contains CBD. In a study where 80 cannabis users either stayed sober or purchased and inhaled one of three high-potency products (flower with ≥20% THC without CBD, flower with ≥20% THC with CBD, or concentrates with ≥60% THC with CBD), all three cannabis products increased susceptibility to false memories. High-potency flower with CBD impaired free recall, while flower without CBD and concentrates impaired source memory. CBD did not offset cognitive impairments, and users self-titrated concentrates to produce comparable intoxication and impairment as flower.
