Hopelessness, Suicidality, and Co-Occurring Substance Use among Adolescent Hallucinogen Users-A National Survey Study

Analysing nationally representative YRBSS data from 2001–2019 (125,550 students), 8.4% of adolescents reported lifetime hallucinogen use, declining from 13.3% to 7.0% over the period. Hallucinogen users had significantly higher odds of feeling sad or hopeless, suicidal ideation and planning, and markedly greater co‑occurring use of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis and other illicit drugs.

Psychedelics not linked to mental health problems or suicidal behavior: A population study.

In a nationally representative sample of 135,095 US adults (19,299 lifetime psychedelic users), lifetime use of LSD, psilocybin or mescaline was not associated with increased odds of past‑year serious psychological distress, mental‑health treatment, suicidal thoughts/plans/attempts, depression or anxiety after adjusting for sociodemographics, other drug use and childhood depression. The authors conclude psychedelics are unlikely to be independent risk factors for mental health problems and question the public‑health rationale for their prohibition.
