Cannabis Microdosing More Common Than Psychedelics Among US Adults, National Survey Finds
A national survey found that 9.4% of US adults, approximately 24 million people, have microdosed cannabis at least once in their lifetime. Cannabis microdosing was nearly twice as common as psilocybin, LSD, or MDMA microdosing.
Researchers from the University of California San Diego analyzed data from a nationally representative survey of 1,525 US adults conducted in late 2023. The survey found that 9.4% of US adults reported microdosing cannabis, compared to 5.3% for psilocybin, 4.8% for LSD, and 2.2% for MDMA. Cannabis microdosing was more common among people reporting poorer mental health. The study suggests that conversations about microdosing may be overlooking a large group of people using small amounts of cannabis. Most people microdosed for recreational purposes, rather than following specific health protocols. Ongoing microdosing was less common, with 3.3% of adults reporting current cannabis microdosing.
