Top 10 Reddit Psychedelics Communities

Not just a website for memes and sharing photos, Reddit has fast become a go-to place for information regarding psychedelics. Despite psychedelics becoming part of popular culture, formal scientific research on the matter has been somewhat lacking. This, in turn, has led to users turning to open forums such as Reddit to read, and submit, anecdotal content about the effects and process of taking psychedelics, as well as how to grow natural psychedelics at home. In this article, we'll take a look at the top 10 communities related to psychedelics on Reddit today.

What Is Reddit and Why Use It as a Psychedelics Resource?

As a social media website built on endless communities known as subreddits, you can browse topics dedicated to gaming, movies, cooking, and even health and dating advice. With over 430 million users worldwide, it was really only a matter of time before psychedelics got its own subreddit(s).

With the entire subreddit formula built on personal experiences and advice, information is rife and readily available for those looking to find out more about a certain psychedelic. With first-hand accounts from beginners and experienced psychonauts alike, Reddit is the perfect jumping-off point for many first-time users. Although all information should be taken with a “pinch of salt”, users can discover everything from the effects of a psychedelic to growing techniques directly from other users.
