phenethylamines vs tryptamines

this was a bit of a trip out for me.. because it is true that it has both backbones superimposed.. but considering the structure of the whole, the ergolines are not so much a sum of the two but a hybrid with its own unique docking shape.
each psychedelic is unique
that is reason enough to try all of the relatively safe ones.

It may be useful to classify drugs by their effect on the brain.
LSD, according to wikipedia, affects all dopamine and adreno receptors, as well as a host of serotonin receptors.

i dont think tryptamines bind to dopamine receptors, but thats just my hunch since serotonin is a tryptamine and binds to serotonin receptors, while dopamine is a phenethylamine and binds to dopamine receptors. however, plenty of phenethylamines bind to serotonin receptors . each chemical has its own individual profile of affinities for receptor types and this, in my oppinion, is our best means through which we can categorise psychedelic drugs.

eg, LSD, from wiki

but not all of those contribute to the psychedelic experience

 

LSD seems somewhat unique among psychedelics...theres something special about it that i dont find in any other drug

 

LSD is not strictly a tryptamine, and I've still got to get my teeth set into peyote, but so far from experience, tryptamines rule the roost.
