Report Finds 10 Million American Adults Microdosed Psychedelics Last Year

It turns out a whole lot of people are exploring the world of psychedelics without looking for a full-blown trip. A fresh report from the RAND Corporation reveals that nearly 10 million American adults microdosed substances like psilocybin, LSD, or MDMA in 2025. This practice—taking tiny amounts to boost mood or creativity—is becoming a major trend. Psilocybin mushrooms are leading the pack, with over two-thirds of users opting for small doses. While states like Oregon and Colorado have already opened doors, the report urges federal officials to stop stalling and establish a real regulatory framework before a disorganized patchwork of laws takes over.

For the community, this is huge. It proves that the "shroom boom" is real and that people are using these plants as practical tools for wellness rather than just party favors. This massive surge in responsible use puts pressure on the government to treat psychedelics with the same common-sense approach we’ve fought for with cannabis, potentially leading to better access and safer, lab-tested products for everyone.
