The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NHSDA) in 2010 estimated that the
percentage of the population aged 18 to 25 who had ever used LSD (the lifetime
prevalence rate) was 6.4 percent, down from 15.9 percent in 2002. In 2010, the
number for past-year initiates of LSD among the population 12 years and older was
377,000, similar to the number in 2009 (337,000), but higher than the estimates
from 2003 to 2007 (ranging from 200,000 to 270,000). Past year and past month
use of LSD was 0.6 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively, for youth in 2010, similar
to rates in 2009.1
Since 1975, Monitoring the Future Study (MTF) researchers have annually surveyed
almost 17,000 high school seniors nationwide to determine trends in drug use and
to measure attitudes and beliefs about drug abuse. In the class of 2010, 2.4 percent
of seniors had reported using LSD at least once in their lives. In 2002, 3.8 percent of
seniors had experimented with LSD at least once in their lifetimes, according to
MTF.2
In the 2010 NHSDA survey, 71.5 percent of youth aged 12 to 17 perceived great risk
in using LSD once or twice a week, compared to the 76.2 percent who saw great risk
in using LSD once or twice a week in 2002. About 12.9 percent of youth indicated
that LSD would be fairly or very easily available. Between 2002 and 2010, there
were decreases in the perceived easy availability of LSD (from 19.4 to 12.9
percent).1
