    triptans), herbs and others.Serotonergic psychedelics are agonists not only of the serotonin

    5-HT2A receptor but also of the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor and other serotonin receptors.A

    potential risk of frequent repeated use of serotonergic psychedelics is cardiac fibrosis and

    valvulopathy caused by 5-HT2B receptor activation.However, single high doses or widely

    spaced doses (e.g., months) are widely thought to be safe and concerns about cardiac

    toxicity apply more to chronic psychedelic microdosing or very frequent use (e.g.,

    weekly).Selective 5-HT2A receptor agonists that do not activate the 5-HT2B receptor or

    other serotonin receptors, such as 25CN-NBOH, DMBMPP, and LPH-5, have been developed

    and are being studied.Selective 5-HT2A receptor agonists are expected to avoid the cardiac

    risks of 5-HT2B receptor activation.== Potential therapeutic effects ==

    Psychedelic substances which may have therapeutic uses include psilocybin, LSD, and

    mescaline.During the 1950s and 1960s, lack of informed consent in some scientific trials on

    psychedelics led to significant, long-lasting harm to some participants.Since then, research

    regarding the effectiveness of psychedelic therapy has been conducted under strict ethical

    guidelines, with fully informed consent and a pre-screening to avoid people with psychosis

    taking part.Although the history behind these substances has hindered research into their

    potential medicinal value, scientists are now able to conduct studies and renew research

    that was halted in the 1970s.Some research has shown that these substances have helped

    people with such mental disorders as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic


    stress disorder (PTSD), alcoholism, depression, and cluster headaches.It has long been

    known that psychedelics promote neurite growth and neuroplasticity and are potent

    psychoplastogens.There is evidence that psychedelics induce molecular and cellular

    adaptations related to neuroplasticity and that these could potentially underlie therapeutic

    benefits.Psychedelics have also been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory activity and

    therapeutic effects in animal models of inflammatory diseases including asthma, and

    cardiovascular disease and diabetes.== Surrounding culture ==

    Psychedelic culture includes manifestations such as psychedelic music, psychedelic art,

    psychedelic literature, psychedelic film, and psychedelic festivals.Examples of psychedelic

    music would be rock bands like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and The Beatles.Many

    psychedelic bands and elements of the psychedelic subculture originated in San Francisco

    during the mid to late 1960s.== Legal status ==

    Many psychedelics are classified under Schedule I of the United Nations Convention on

    Psychotropic Substances of 1971 as drugs with the greatest potential to cause harm and no

    acceptable medical uses.In addition, many countries have analogue laws; for example, in the

    United States, the Federal Analogue Act of 1986 automatically forbids any drugs sharing

    similar chemical structures or chemical formulas to prohibited substances if sold for human

    consumption.In July 2022, though, under the United States Food and Drug Administration,

    the drug psilocybin was on track to be approved of as a treatment for depression, and

    MDMA as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.U.S. states such as Oregon and

    Colorado have also instituted decriminalization and legalization measures for accessing

    psychedelics and states like New Hampshire are attempting to do the same.J.D.Tuccille

    argues that increasing rates of use of psychedelics in defiance of the law are likely to result
    in more widespread legalization and decriminalization of access to the substances in the

    United States (as has happened with alcohol and cannabis).
