Prevalence and predictors of sexual and physical violence during psychedelic use in a US population-based study.
World Psychiatry June 1, 2026 Christina Chwyl, Michael S. Ladka, Joshua C. Black et al.
In a US population-based study, about 1 in 20 people who used psychedelics reported experiencing sexual or physical violence during their use. Younger age, female gender, and use of certain psychedelics like MDMA were associated with higher risk. The findings suggest that while most psychedelic experiences are safe, a minority involve violence, highlighting the need for harm reduction strategies.
