The latest National Drug Strategy Household Survey from 2022–23 saw the percentage of Australians who used a psychedelic drug rise from 1.6 per cent in 2019 to 2.4 per cent three years later taking the number of people who use these drugs annually up to about 500,000 people."

I wonder if this is because alcohol is harder to afford for many now ?

Well unpredictable muscle weakness is your indicator right there .

You could die from muscle paralysis in shrooms, same way you could die from being hit in the chest with a puck playing hockey at just the right millisecond in your cardiac beat.

Possible and potential don't mean likely.

Plenty of people die from diaphragm weakness.. probably worthy of investigating it to see actual occurrences ?

the poorly understood part is they don't know what causes it. If it's actually physiological or psychological or both.

But this is the first step in research. Theyve identifed that many different users that completed the survey have experienced it.. now they further drill down on that.
