Roughly a third of them (10 million Americans) reported microdosing in 2025.
Yet fewer than 1% can name a single ethical, trained guide.
Yes, that’s a risk, and they’re doing it anyway.-
Here’s what they found.
11 million adults used psilocybin in the past year, making it the most popular psychedelic.
69% of psilocybin users microdosed at least once (compared to 65% of MDMA users and 59% of LSD users).
Nearly half (47%) of all psilocybin use are microdosing.

10 million people, here in USA, are consuming psychedelics. NEVER on our planet have we had that many people consuming psychedelics. How is that impacting our human evolution? How is that impacting our collective consciousness? We know that millions of people are impacting the pharmaceutical industry and those millions of people are impacting the mental health industry.
I like to imagine that humans consuming psychedelics do shed light on our collective conscious. When I refer to microdosing, I describe the experience as a flashlight piercing through the darkness.
I began microdosing 10 years ago to help me face, engage and participate with the darkness of depression and shame prompted by our first run of Trump as President. Nearly 10 years ago, 5 million people in the USA consumed psychedelics.
Magic mushrooms are now mainstream, and it’s happening whether the law catches up or not.
Those who participated in the study aren’t chasing escapism or mystical experiences. They’re managing anxiety, boosting creativity, and supporting daily function.
People aren’t waiting for FDA approval or Big Pharma solutions. They’re experimenting carefully, sharing knowledge, and taking control of their mental health. Federal law still classifies psilocybin as Schedule I, but millions are unperturbed.
The data suggests a cultural shift, with people reconnecting with ancient plant medicines, maturing in how they use them, and demanding better research instead of prohibition.
The mycelial network is spreading faster than policy can adapt.
If this information is shedding light on a path you’ve been desiring to step onto- you’re not alone.
I’ve created a video as a show and tell with simple instructions with a tried and true protocol.
“I’m at a Sufi gathering over the past couple of days and it was already in my heart to reach out to you about this, but given that my heart is even more open, I want to let you know what joy your medicines have been for me.
Not only is the ally the right one and the dosing schedule, but my body is just a joyful yes. I feel the love you and your partner infuse into the substances.”-GW
