Study: Cannabis is the Most Popular Mind-Altering Substance Used While Hiking
Summary

A recent study from Climbing Kilimanjaro reveals that over one-third of hikers (35%) have consumed cannabis while hiking, making it the most popular mind-altering substance on trails. The research also found that approximately 15% of hikers have used psilocybin, identifying it as the most popular psychedelic substance among outdoor recreationalists. This data highlights emerging patterns in recreational substance use during outdoor activities and raises important safety considerations for trail users and park managers. Understanding these prevalence rates is relevant for public health professionals and healthcare providers counseling patients about substance use risks in physically demanding environments.
