America’s “psychedelic revolution” kicked off during the Covid pandemic when the government locked down the economy, forcing people to stay home with nothing to do. In pre-Covid times, only 5.1% of young people aged 19-30 used psychedelic drugs. But as soon as lockdowns began, the figure jumped to 7.6% by 2020 and 8.1% by 2021. Since 2011, the use of psychedelics by young people has more than doubled, according to a study by the University of Michigan and Columbia University.
