A survey of 770 Vermont primary care providers found that two-thirds were familiar with therapeutic use of psychedelics, but fewer than half knew the legal status of LSD, psilocybin, and MDMA. Ninety-six percent were neutral or agreed that psychedelics have high therapeutic potential. The top concerns were effects on youth, risk of psychosis, and traffic safety. Eighty-three percent were not at all or only slightly concerned about inherent dangers. Seventy-seven percent wanted more education. Overall, Vermont PCPs are familiar with psychedelics and cautiously optimistic about their therapeutic role.
