One of the trending developments over the last year, is the newfound level of growth and acceptance of psychedelic drugs. One way to determine this growth is by looking at how many states and cities are updating legislation. Another way is by seeing how much money is being raised by different companies and investors. Spoiler alert, it’s a lot… read on to learn about the exact figures.
Global mushrooms legality: With Amanita muscaria mushrooms growing in popularity, especially during the last couple of months, many people are wondering if they’re legal to possess in their region. Luckily, in most cases the answer to this is a resounding yes, since only a handful of areas have any type of legislation against these shrooms. But if you live in one of the following five places in the world, then you’re out of luck on buying them legally.
As the world grows increasingly eager to learn more about psychedelic drugs and their healing properties, we’re seeing a sharp rise in related events where industry professionals can gather with inquisitive consumers to discuss all the most important aspects of this budding market. We’ve already covered some of the more anticipated events going on in the U.S. this year, and now we’re following up with the top 5 global psychedelics events taking place in 2023.
If you read about drugs often, you’ve probably come across the terms “psychoactive” and “psychedelic” quite frequently. Although many publications use them interchangeably, that is incorrect and there are some key differences between the two. The broadest way to describe it, is that all psychedelic drugs are psychoactive, but not all psychoactive drugs are psychedelic.

The general consensus on cannabis has always been that it’s not really addictive. And that’s definitely true to an extent; we can say without a doubt that it’s not physically addictive and does not cause any type of illness or symptoms of withdrawal when someone stops using. That being said, can it be mentally addictive? That’s what the medical community aims to answer by exploring the possibility of “cannabis use disorder”.
There are hundreds of different types of alcohol, and many people swear that certain types of liquor produce different types of drunk effects. For example, one that immediately comes to mind is tequila. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard someone say that tequila makes them ready to fight. On the flip side, many believe that whiskey offers an extra-confident drunk experience. Some will argue that there’s no logic behind this, that it’s simply the amount of alcohol within the drinks and the speed at which you metabolize them. But maybe there’s more going on here.
One surefire way to know if there are problems within in industry is by looking at the hiring patterns. When an industry is doing well, more jobs open up and salaries improve. When an industry is struggling, jobs are lost and pay gets cut. For several months, mass layoffs have been going on in the cannabis industry, signaling major problems with few possible solutions.
Cuba is a beautiful, underrated, and very misunderstood country. This country hosts every type of terrain one could imagine, making it perfect for hiking, camping, and wildlife photography. There are some amazing beaches to lounge at and soak up the scenery. And if you want to get a feel for 1950s American cars, then Cuba is the perfect place for a vacation. However, if you’re the type of person who likes to get high on vacation, then this little island is a place you may want to avoid.

Each generation has a variety of concerns, but a big surprise is the amount of Gen Z’ers who are now worried about fertility. According to surveys, nearly half of Gen Z is worried about their fertility despite not currently trying to conceive. The Centers for Disease Control defines infertility as “not being able to get pregnant after one+ year of unprotected sex.” According to a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO), “Around 17.5% of the adult population experience infertility.”
Previous generations worried about fertility when it came time to have children, Gen Z sees it part of their future path. They are fretting about becoming pregnant at 35 when they are 25. When deciding to have kids later, they want to know what to do now so they can have what they want then. Can marijuana help Gen Z’s fertility concerns?
With alcohol it is clear chronic alcohol exposure can cause problems with fertility in both men and women. For men, it can lead to damaged sperm and for women, it may affect the ability to conceive. While actively receiving medical treatments to get pregnant, alcohol can reduce a woman’s chance.
For women, frequent use of marijuana can cause issues which could tamp down fertility. Consuming as often as three times per week may have impacts says a report published in Fertility & Sterility Science.Evidence suggests marijuana can reduce female fertility by disrupting hypothalamic release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), leading to reduced estrogen and progesterone production and anovulatory menstrual cycles. It can also delay or inhibit ovulation. For men, data showed current or past marijuana users had more damaged sperm, lower sperm counts and reduced semen volume.
But can worrying and the constant anxiety around it affect the outcome? While it’s unlikely stress alone cause infertility, stress interferes with a woman’s ability to get pregnant. Research has shown that women with a history of depression are twice as likely to experience infertility. Anxiety also can prolong the time needed to achieve pregnancy.
While more research needs to be done, managing stress may improve fertility.
Some of the top reasons people drink alcohol is to relax, for enjoyment, to be part of a group, to avoid physical and/or psychological pain, to experiment and for rebellion. It has been around for thousands of years used in religious ceremonies, medical treatments, sensual moments and more. But, what are the top 10 reasons people consume marijuana today? Well, there is some data, and it varies a little by age.
With legalization, all of Canada and over 50% of the US have access to legal marijuana, leading to it becoming more accepted. Over 85% believe it should be legal in some form and the federal government has acknowledge is has health properties.
Psychology Todaypublished an article with the information. They took data from four different studies to discover use reasons and published some of the findings. The papers are typically based on secondary research. In other words, they rely on surveys and data collected from other sources which they use to build a “picture” of the average consumer.
Age does play a significant role for motivation. College freshmen make different decisions based on their limited life experience and social environment. The first study looked at possible motivators for entering college students.
“The most frequently reported reasons included enjoyment/fun, conformity, experimentation, social enhancement, boredom, and relaxation.”
Social acceptance was another high ranking category in this age group and it makes sense. When you’re finally “out of the nest”, you need a conduit to engage with other people. If people are smoking weed, you may feel slightly more inclined to try to “fit in”.
Post college age is where the majority of consumers exist. Another study looked at this demographic to understand motivations for consuming cannabis. Not surprisingly, there is a far more nuanced list of reasons than the college aged demographic. According to researchers here are the top 10 reasons people consume marijuana.
Similar to alcohol, the top reason is recreation. But unlike alcohol, the next major reason is medical use, with a significant about of people using it to treat a variety of issues including chronic pain, cancer, seizures, anxiety, and more.
Coping with stress and anxiety is further down on the list, something different from alcohol. But using substances to escape from long term issues is rather productive. Like a glass at the end of the day, a gummy or puff from a vape it can just take the edge a rough day. But doing it too much and indulging to much could be a reason to evaluate the motive.
The study researchers shared “Users are for the most part very self aware of their consumption habits, and alters their behavior when they see it as problematic.”
