Use of psychedelics in the Czech Republic: results of recent population surveys.

Central European journal of public health September 1, 2022 Pavla Chomynová, Rita Kočárová, Filip Kňažek et al. 2 citations

About 5-6% of Czech adults (350-430 thousand people) have ever used classical psychedelics such as LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, or ayahuasca, rising to 28-30% when cannabis is included (1.9-2.1 million users). Current (past-year) use of classical psychedelics is 0.7-1.9% (50-130 thousand people), and 9-11% (590-750 thousand users) when cannabis is included. Users of psychedelics are more often male, younger, and single. No significant socio-demographic differences appear between users of classical psychedelics and recreational cannabis users, but both groups differ from non-users and users of other illicit drugs.
