JAMA health forum June 7, 2024 Kevin H Yang, Nora Satybaldiyeva, Matthew R Allen et al. 16 citations

Public interest in psychedelic microdosing in the US surged 13.4-fold from 2015 to 2023, reaching 3.0 million Google searches in 2023. State-level cannabis and psychedelic legislative reforms were associated with increased search rates: local psychedelic decriminalization with an increase of 22.4 per 10 million searches, statewide psychedelic therapeutic legalization and decriminalization with 28.9 per 10 million, recreational cannabis laws with 40.9 per 10 million, and medical cannabis laws with 11.5 per 10 million. From August to December 2023, 27% of the variation in monthly search rates between states was explained by differences in cannabis and psychedelics legal status.
