Mushroom Use by College Students

Journal of Drug Education June 1, 1985 John Paul Thompson, M. Douglas Anglin, William A. Emboden et al. 16 citations

Among 1,507 college students surveyed, 17% reported using hallucinogenic drugs. Of those, over 85% had used psilocybin mushrooms, and more than half had used mushrooms but no other hallucinogens. The data suggest a high level of experimental use of psilocybin mushrooms compared to other hallucinogens. The authors recommend that survey research distinguish mushroom use from other hallucinogens.
