It’s not localised and it’s not new either tbh.

That said, I do think there’s certainly been renewed interest since the pandemic in some of the classical psychedelics like mushrooms, etc. Certainly a lot more people asking around for good picking spots the last couple of seasons here.

It’s definitely localized. most societies don’t look favorable on drug use including most of east Asia, south and south east Asia, Middle East, and more.

From where I’m sitting it doesn’t appear to be localised.
