While it's not surprising to hear about the hippies of the 1970s experimenting with psychedelic drugs, or hallucinogens, a new study shows that an estimated 32 million people in the U.S. have used LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), “magic mushrooms” (psilocybin), or mescaline (peyote and other cacti) at some point in their lives, many in the recent past.

To take a closer look at psychedelic use today, researchers Teri S. Krebs and Pål-Ørjan Johansen of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology used data from a randomly selected sample of more than 57,000 individuals ages 12 and older who were questioned for the 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

According to Krebs and Johansen’s study, the rate of lifetime psychedelic use was highest among people ages 30 to 34, with higher rates in men than in women. The authors also found that older adults were more likely to have used LSD and mescaline, whereas younger adults were more likely to have used "magic mushrooms."

Wait. The researchers are from norway.
So, was their research on norwegian people or US citizens?

You can be from one country, and be allowed to do research on another country.

I think everyone should try psychedelics at least once in a lifetime.

No it doesnt.

Okay, then.

Second paragraph refers to the NSDUH, also a US survey, coordinated by two US agencies and carried out by a private US company. The researchers from Norway just analyzed that data. And after a quick look at the article, the US is mentioned like eight times.

Didn't they teach you about the Geneva conventions in school?

No. We never get taught about world stuffs in school, for as long as I can remember back in elementary school. After Googling it, isn't the Geneva conventions the international humanitarian laws of warfare? What does that have to do with not being able to do research on another country?

It has EVERYTHING to do with not being able to do research in another country. Why do you think the CIA is so secretive?
