America's young adults are lagging in many areas, but there's one they are excelling in.
by scientists at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research, marijuana and hallucinogen use has steadily climbed among young adults between 19 and 30 compared to just ten years ago:
Past-year hallucinogen use had been relatively stable over the past few decades until 2020, when reports of use started to increase dramatically. In 2021, 8% of young adults reported past-year hallucinogen use, representing an all-time high since the category was first surveyed in 1988. By comparison, in 2016, 5% of young adults reported past-year hallucinogen use, and in 2011, only 3% reported use.
