Psychedelic-naïve undergraduates generally hold similar views of psilocybin and LSD across clinical therapy, microdosing, and naturalistic contexts, making only limited distinctions. When differences did appear, participants viewed clinical use most positively, followed by microdosing, then naturalistic use. The findings suggest that young adults may benefit from education about the varying safety, efficacy, and legality of psychedelics across contexts, especially given their potential influence on drug policy.
