This work is a giant step forward for psychedelic research.

Activation of neuronal 5-HT1A receptors causes hyperpolarization and inhibition of cellular signaling.

Technically the answer is no, but subjective experiences may vary.

The 5-HT2A receptor is central to the effects of many psychedelics, but it may not be the only receptor involved.

It is a plant that contains over 40 alkaloid and non-alkaloid compounds, some of which have analgesic and psychoactive properties.

Ibogaine is a compound found in the leaves of an African shrub called Iboga, and studies indicate it may have anti-addictive properties.

Psychedelics disrupt the brain networks responsible for the feeling of selfhood.

Female hormones affect binding at the 5-HT2A receptor. Does this mean there is a uniquely female entourage effect with psychedelics?

This is the first time psilocybin has been produced from a prokaryotic organism.

The evidence points to several possibilities. It could be psilocybin or a combination of factors.
