About the Indicator: Adults were asked about use of hallucinogens, mushrooms, PCP, LSD, acid, phenecyclidine, angel dust, peyote, mescaline, or psilocybin. An asterisk means that the response rate was too low for that particular demographic, providing an unreliable estimate. Percentages are rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent; rates below half of a percent will round to zero.
