Use of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide by Major Depression Status.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Renewed interest in the clinical potential of hallucinogens may lead people with depression to a generally more positive view of the use of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Therefore, past-year LSD use among people with depression may be increasing in prevalence.

Objective

To assess time trends in the prevalence of past-year nonmedical LSD use by past-year major depression status and the variation in this association by sociodemographic characteristics.

Design, setting, and participants
