At least 8.4 million U.S. adults have microdosed psilocybin in their lifetime. People who used psilocybin within the past year are more likely to report microdosing the last time they used compared to those whose use was more than a year ago. However, about 15% of lifetime psilocybin users were unsure whether they microdosed the last time they used. The top motivations for self-reported microdosing are improving physical and mental health.
