In the Global Psychedelic Survey 2023, 6,379 adults completed the survey and 1,529 shared open-text reflections about psychedelic use. Three themes stood out: perceived health benefits, stronger wellbeing and personal growth, and major shifts in life perspective or meaning. Because these are self-reported experiences, not clinical outcomes, the strongest takeaway is cultural and harm-reduction value: people are using psychedelics for healing, identity, pain, growth, and crisis recovery outside formal medical settings.
