In a study of 100k people, 20k of whom reported lifetime psychedelic use:
"There were no significant associations between lifetime use of any psychedelics, lifetime use of specific psychedelics (LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, peyote), or past year use of LSD and increased rate of any of the mental health outcomes. Rather, in several cases psychedelic use was associated with lower rate of mental health problems."[1]
Also: "We did not find use of psychedelics to be an independent risk factor for mental health problems."[1]
