Psychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine and mescaline are increasingly being used (1) therapeutically to treat some of the most common mental health disorders in modern workforces and (2) to enhance employees’ creativity, productivity and performance. Employers nationwide need to be prepared for the myriad issues that will arise as a result of these increasing use patterns, from impairment detection to employee benefit coverage questions.
