Distribution of Psychedelic Users in America (and the world)

I'm curious about the cities, states, and areas most populated with psychedelic users; mainly in America, but even all over the planet.

 

That is a good question. I would imagine that urban areas in the US would be the most populated. I would also wager that cities with a large artistic or music scene would be first. More industrial or "9 to 5" office job cities like those in the Rust-Belt, probably would be last.

I also would put University cities up there. I work/go to grad school at UDel in Newark, DE, and there is definitely a psychedelic population, however I haven't personally met them (yet).

 

Your predictions seem accurately made, but I would like to see the data.
Also, I'd like to know what these centers may be. I imagine the North-West has a large psychedelic community. Anywhere specific though?

 

I live in the NW. People here definitely like their psychedelics. The Portland area is pretty big on Psychedelics and Hippie Culture. Sad thing is it's also the Meth capital. I dont know about Seattle, but I imagine there would be a pretty good psychedelic culture there as well.

 

I'm probably going to be making my way to Washington or Oregon soon.
From there, I want to sail transpacific to Asia.
I want colleagues haha.

 

We are probably living in the most psychedelic era of all time right now..

Maybe do your own survey. I think you can do one here.

I did one at MAPS but I don't think it was working.

 

orison, thus far! Many years ago LSD and DMT were exotic and unknown. Until recently, the RCs never even existed. I can't wait to see what the future holds.
Still, it seems like a long way to go before cultural acceptance and utilization of psychedelics.

I'll look into making a survey later haha.

 

I would expect to see a spike in areas where psychedelics are naturally occurring. (southwest for peyote, not sure for psilocybin mushrooms)

I would be especially interested to see the trends in use and perception of use globally. I wonder what cultures trip more than we think?

 

I also imagined that nature's distribution of entheogens would play a part in the placement of psychedelic cultural growth.

There needs to be surveyors for this kind of information.
Although, I'm not sure what the empirical value would be haha.
