Abstract
Lifetime hallucinogen use in the US is prevalent and highly comorbid with other substance use and psychiatric disorders. Hallucinogen Use Disorder is relatively uncommon, with a low risk of development following exposure to hallucinogens. There are significant associations between hallucinogen use and substance use disorders, personality disorders, PTSD and past suicide attempts. The evolving therapeutic utility of this class of substances requires further assessment of short- and long-term risks of use, before large scale clinical application is pursued.
