The current research explores the relationship between school- and cyberbullying victimization and various types of substance use among a racially/ethnically diverse sample of heterosexual, lesbian, gay, and bisexual adolescents. The 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Combined High School Dataset was used. The sample consisted of 12,713 White, Black, and Hispanic heterosexual, lesbian, gay, and bisexual adolescents. School bullying victimization was associated with higher alcohol, marijuana, and opioid use, but lower tobacco use, whereas cyberbullying victimization was associated with higher use of all substances examined. Interaction analyses indicated that Hispanic bisexual and Hispanic heterosexual adolescents experienced steeper increases in the predicted probability of alcohol use associated with bullying victimization and cyberbullying victimization compared to White heterosexual adolescents. In addition, Hispanic heterosexual identity moderated the associations between school bullying victimization and opioid use, as well as between cyberbullying victimization and tobacco use.","PeriodicalId":16902,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychoactive drugs","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149220431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study compared relationship functioning among people who reported past-year psychedelic use, stimulant/opioid use, and nonuse of illicit drugs using data from the National Couples' Health and Time Study (NCHAT). Those who indicated psychedelic use did not differ from those who indicated no drug use on most outcomes, though they reported lower commitment. Those who reported stimulant/opioid use demonstrated worse functioning than those who reported no drug use, showing lower satisfaction, worse dyadic coping, higher marital risk, more negative interactions, and higher odds of perpetrating intimate partner abuse. Between those who disclosed drug use, people who reported psychedelic use indicated fewer negative interactions and lower odds of perpetrating intimate partner abuse than people who reported stimulant/opioid use, with trends toward greater couples satisfaction and better dyadic coping.

While overall overdose mortality rates have fluctuated, deep racial inequities persist and are driven in part by structural oppressive forces, systemic and structural racism, and White supremacy. To move beyond traditional risk-factor epidemiology and reductive \"gap gazing,\" this collection highlights critical empirical approaches that directly measure and confront systemic harms while advancing equitable solutions. The issue features two central themes. The first theme, Measuring the Impact of Structural and/or Systemic Factors, highlights rigorous quantitative and qualitative studies that operationalize intersectional stress, racial trauma, and lifespan violence among minoritized populations. The second theme, Culturally Responsive Substance Use/Overdose Prevention, focuses on community-informed adaptations to overdose education and therapeutic settings to combat stigma and mitigate racial microaggressions. Ultimately, this issue demonstrates how critical scientific frameworks can transform substance use scholarship. By centering in the margins, evaluating evolving therapeutic interventions through an equity lens, and demanding methodological precision in documenting structural harms, this issue offers a path forward toward health justice and accountability for all people who use substances.","PeriodicalId":16902,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychoactive drugs","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149147491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no previous study has integrated multiple surveillance indicators to assess the availability and consumption of these substances across Italy. This systematic review synthesized comprehensive evidence published between 2000 and 2023 from three monitoring indicators: drug seizures reports, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), and toxicological/clinical studies. Searches of Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar identified 969 records, of which 49 studies and reports met the inclusion criteria: 15 on drug seizures, 18 on WBE, and 16 on toxicological studies. Eligible articles were fully reviewed and summarized. Results indicated a diverse and evolving landscape, with increasing detection of synthetic cathinones and significant regional variation in ATS and SC consumption. In total, seven ATS and twenty-five SC were identified across all indicators. Amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), 4-methylethcathinone (4-MEC), and methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) were consistently detected in seizure, wastewater, and toxicological data, indicating their availability and consumption in Italy. WBE studies showed marked spatial and temporal variability in stimulant consumption, while seizure and toxicological data highlighted the increasing diversification of synthetic cathinones in the Italian drug market. Key limitations include uneven geographical coverage and methodological heterogeneity among studies. The findings demonstrate the value of integrating WBE, forensic, and law enforcement indicators to strengthen surveillance of emerging stimulant drugs in Italy.","PeriodicalId":16902,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychoactive drugs","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149127925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined whether racial microaggressions in counseling were indirectly associated with substance use through their impact on help-seeking intentions and psychological distress. A serial mediation model was tested using self-report data from a community-based sample of racial-ethnic minoritized adults (N = 223). Results indicated that prior experiences of racial microaggressions in counseling were associated with lower help-seeking intentions, which in turn were linked to greater psychological distress and increased substance use. Although the total effect of racial microaggressions on substance use was not significant, the indirect pathway was significant, underscoring the importance of examining mediating mechanisms that impact substance use outcomes. These findings highlight how interpersonal racism in therapeutic settings may contribute to adverse mental health outcomes and emphasize the need for culturally humble, affirming mental health care.

Given the heightened risk of opioid overdose upon release from incarceration, there is a need to examine the structural impact of incarceration on opioid use among Black men. Thus, the current study examines the incarceration experiences of 20 Black men who use opioids to better understand how these experiences influence their drug use. The reflexive thematic analysis revealed five key themes: (1) Socialization of Carceral Systems Throughout Development, (2) Varied relationships of Opioids While Incarcerated, (3) Access to Treatment Programs/Resources While Incarcerated, (4) Cycle of Incarceration, Racism, and Illicit Opioid Use, and (5) No Implication. These themes and respective subthemes demonstrate the significant and pervasive impact of the carceral system on Black men's opioid use experiences and trajectories, for many shaping patterns of opioid use during incarceration and following release.

This study examined psychedelic-evoked familiarity in comparison to non-drug-induced forms of familiarity, including autobiographical and déjà vu experiences. An anonymous online survey was administered to 1050 participants, who completed the Sense of Familiarity Questionnaire (SOFQ) and psycho-emotional ratings for at least one of three experiences: Psychedelic, Autobiographical, or Déjà Vu. Across all SOFQ items, Psychedelic experiences were rated significantly higher in familiarity, particularly within the \"Familiarity with Transcendent Features\" category. Psychedelic experiences were also associated with greater emotional intensity, novelty, and comfort, with no increased anxiety, relative to the other experience types. Classic psychedelics generally elicited strong familiarity, while psycho-emotional responses varied across psychedelic types. Most participants described the familiarity as authentic and positively impactful, and approximately half reported enduring effects such as emotional transformation, interconnectedness, and reduced fear of death. These findings suggest that psychedelic-evoked familiarity is phenomenologically different from autobiographical and déjà vu familiarity. Psychedelic-evoked familiarity warrants further investigation to determine whether it serves as a phenomenological driver of the enduring psychological and existential benefits associated with psychedelic experiences.","PeriodicalId":16902,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychoactive drugs","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148945116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
