Summary
AI-generated from the abstractIn a nationally representative survey of U.S. adults, past-year psilocybin use was reported by a small but notable percentage of respondents. The study describes the characteristics of those who used psilocybin, including demographic and other substance use correlates. The findings suggest that psilocybin use is associated with certain demographic factors and patterns of other drug use, though the analysis is descriptive and does not establish causation.
