How effective are they?

How long does the efficacy last?

If I use psilocybin, does it help me for a year?

Does it cure me for life?

Does it help me for a day?

What about microdosing?

So there's a bunch of details around psychedelics that

which people don't usually talk about.

But if you want to make an informed decision, you need to understand all of those things.

So this is how I think about them as a psychiatrist.

And I'd like to share this information with you, which I think honestly is not that complicated.

So the first thing that we've got to get into is what do we mean by psychedelics?

Because psychedelics are actually a class of compounds.

They include things like ayahuasca, they include LSD, psilocybin, DMT, which is the active ingredient in ayahuasca, also things like the peyote cactus, ibogaine.

So there's a lot of these different compounds, and they're actually each different.

Now, the reason that we kind of classify them together is because they do have certain shared mechanisms of action.

So the primary neurotransmitter that we're sort of focused on or the primary receptor we're focused on is the serotonin 2A receptor.

So that's the 5-HT2A receptor.

And so if we want to understand what separates psychedelics from other drugs, we have to understand what that receptor does.

So the first thing to understand is that there needs to be no outcome from small talk.
