MOST AMERICANS WHO HAVE TRIED MARIJUANA OR PSYCHEDELICS HAD ‘POSITIVE’
EXPERIENCES, SURVEY FINDS
Published

A majority of Americans have tried marijuana—and most say they had a positive
experience—according to a new poll.
The survey from YouGov also found that one in five Americans have used
psilocybin mushrooms, and an even greater majority of those respondents
described the experience as positive. Most people who have tried other
psychedelics like LSD and MDMA also said it was a good time.
As the federal government moves to reclassify cannabis and more states pursue
psychedelics reform, the poll offers fresh insights into how people have
personally used the substances and where they stand on changing drug laws.
Cannabis May Be “Viable Alternative” Treatment For Dogs With Common Skin Disease
Cannabis May Be “Viable Alternative” Treatment For Dogs With Common Skin Disease
A recent case study suggests that cannabis could serve as a “viable alternative”
treatment option for dogs afflicted with a common skin disease. Researchers
documented the effectiveness of CBD oil in managing discoid lupus erythematosus
(DLE), an autoimmune condition causing hair loss and skin inflammation.
Traditionally, DLE is treated with corticosteroids and other medications that
may strain a dog's liver. In this study, a veterinarian prescribed a
full-spectrum oil with a 2:1 THC:CBD ratio, administered orally. The dog showed
significant improvement in dermatological symptoms within weeks, along with
enhanced liver function. Compared to corticosteroids, cannabis derivatives
“lack significant side effects and are safe for long-term usage.” “Cannabis
derivatives, beyond their pain-relieving prowess, are emerging as potential
knights in shining armor against inflammation and immune system overwork in the
veterinary world,” the discussion section says. Additionally, recent research
highlights the effectiveness of CBD in reducing stress and anxiety during car
travel for dogs. Other studies have revealed benefits such as decreased seizure
frequency in dogs receiving CBD and improved symptoms in dogs with arthritis.

YouGov asked respondents about four substances: marijuana, psilocybin, LSD and
MDMA. By far the most commonly used was marijuana (57 percent), followed by
psilocybin (20 percent), LSD (16 percent) and MDMA (11 percent).
For each substance, people who said they’ve used it reported a positive
experience, most prominently for psilocybin (65). The rest were roughly equal:
marijuana (57 percent), MDMA (56 percent) and LSD (55 percent).
About one and four people who’ve used the drugs described the experience as
equally positive and negative. And 20 percent of people who’ve consumed
marijuana, LSD or MDMA said it was a negative experience, but only eight percent
said the same of psilocybin.
Via YouGov.
Notably, when asked whether the substances should be legalized, only marijuana
received majority support at 60 percent. Compare that to psilocybin (27
percent), MDMA (16 percent) and LSD (15 percent).
However, among people with personal experience using the drugs, there’s majority
support for legalization for each of them except LSD.
“A total of 78 percent of marijuana users support its legalization. 63 percent
of psilocybin users want psilocybin legalized, and 55 percent of MDMA users
support MDMA legalization,” YouGov said. “There is more division among LSD users
regarding its legalization: 38 percent would support it and 43 percent would
oppose it.”
The survey involved interviews with 1,134 American adults from April 25-28, with
a four percentage point margin of error.
Via YouGov.
Meanwhile, another recent survey found that nearly three in five Americans
consider alcohol or tobacco to be “more harmful” to a person’s health than
marijuana.
Nine in 10 Americans say marijuana should be legal for recreational or medical
purposes, a Pew Research Center poll that was released in March found. And most
agree that legalization bolsters local economies and makes the criminal justice
system more fair.
Pew also released a separate report in February that found eight in 10 Americans
now live in a county with at least one marijuana dispensary. The analysis also
shows that high concentrations of retailers often “cluster” near borders
abutting other states that have “less permissive cannabis laws”—indicating that
there’s a large market of people who live in still-criminalized jurisdictions
who cross state lines to purchase regulated products.
A poll from Gallup that was released last month found that rates of marijuana
use are nearly the same in states that have legalized versus those that maintain
prohibition, which suggests that “criminalization does little to curtail its
use.”
