List of psychedelic drugs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of psychedelic drugs, also known as serotonergic psychedelics or classical hallucinogens.[1][2] These drugs act specifically as serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonists.[3] They belong to three major structural families, including the tryptamines, phenethylamines, and lysergamides, although exceptions exist.[4][5][6][7]
