lysergic acid diethylamide
Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD (from German ) and by the nicknames acid and lucy, is a semisynthetic hallucinogenic drug derived from ergot, known for its powerful psychological effects and serotonergic activity. It was historically used in psychiatry and 1960s counterculture; it is currently legally restricted but receiving renewed scientific interest and increasing use.
psilocybin
Psilocybin, also known as '4-phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-PO-DMT'), is a naturally occurring tryptamine alkaloid and investigational drug found in more than 200 species of mushrooms, with hallucinogenic and serotonergic effects. Effects include euphoria, changes in perception, a distorted sense of time, and perceived spiritual experiences. It can also cause adverse reactions such as nausea and panic attacks.
mescaline
Mescaline, also known as mescalin or mezcalin, and in chemical terms 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine, is a naturally occurring classical psychedelic protoalkaloid of the substituted phenethylamine class, found in cacti like peyote (Lophophora williamsii) and San Pedro (certain species of the genus Echinopsis).
dimethyltryptamine
Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), also known as '''N,N-dimethyltryptamine (N,N-DMT'''), is a serotonergic hallucinogen and investigational drug of the tryptamine family that occurs naturally in many plants and animals. DMT is used as a psychedelic drug and prepared by various cultures for ritual purposes as an entheogen.
psilocin
Psilocin, also known as '4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (4-HO-DMT'), is a psychedelic drug and fungal alkaloid of the tryptamine and 4-hydroxytryptamine families. Along with its phosphate ester psilocybin, it is found in most species of psilocybin-containing mushrooms, such as Psilocybe cubensis and Psilocybe mexicana, and is the compound responsible for their hallucinogenic effects, although concentrations of psilocin are variably lower than those of psilocybin. The drug is taken orally and its effects include perceptual changes and visual effects, emotional changes, ego dissolution, time d
ergotamine
Ergotamine, sold under the brand name Ergomar among others, is an ergopeptine and part of the ergot family of alkaloids; it is structurally and biochemically closely related to ergoline. It is structurally similar to several neurotransmitters, and it acts as a vasoconstrictor. It is used for acute migraines, sometimes with caffeine as the combination ergotamine/caffeine.
N,N-dimethyl-5-methoxytryptamine
5-MeO-DMT, also known as '5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, as well as O-methylbufotenin or mebufotenin', is an atypical psychedelic drug, entheogen, and alkaloid of the tryptamine and 5-methoxytryptamine families. It is found naturally in a wide variety of plant species, and is also secreted by the glands of at least one toad species, the Colorado River toad (Incilius alvarius, formerly Bufo alvarius). It may occur naturally in humans as well. Like its close relatives dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), it has been used as an entheogen in South America. Slang terms include five
25I-NBOMe
25I-NBOMe, also known as 2C-I-NBOMe, Cimbi-5, and shortened to "25I", is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, 2C, and NBOMe (25-NB) families. Since 2010, it has circulated in the recreational drug scene, often misrepresented as LSD. It is the most well-known member of the 25-NB family and the earliest member to be encountered as a novel recreational drug.
N-methyltryptamine
'''N-Methyltryptamine (NMT), also known as monomethyltryptamine''', is a chemical compound of the tryptamine family and a naturally occurring compound found in various plants and animals, including humans.
7-hydroxymitragynine
7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH-MIT, often simply referred to as 7-OH) is a terpenoid indole alkaloid present in the plant Mitragyna speciosa (the leaves of which are commonly known as kratom). It was first described in 1994. In humans, it is produced as an active metabolite of mitragynine via hepatic oxidation.
4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenylisopropylamine
2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families. It is little-used recreationally, but is widely used in scientific research in the study of psychedelics and serotonin receptors. The drug is taken orally.
dezocine
Dezocine, sold under the brand name Dalgan, is an atypical opioid analgesic which is used in the treatment of pain. It is used by intravenous infusion and intramuscular injection.
2C-B-FLY
2C-B-FLY is a psychedelic and designer drug of the phenethylamine, 2C, and FLY families. It was first described in 1995 by Aaron Monte, Professor of Chemistry at UW-La Crosse.
oliceridine
Oliceridine, sold under the brand name Olinvyk, is an opioid medication that is used for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain in adults. It is given by intravenous (IV) injection.

chemical compound
gaboxadol
Gaboxadol, also known as 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo(5,4-c)pyridin-3-ol (THIP) and by its former developmental code names Lu-2-030, MK-0928, and OV101, is a GABAA receptor agonist related to muscimol which was investigated for the treatment of insomnia and other conditions like Angelman syndrome but was never marketed. At lower doses, the drug has sedative and hypnotic effects, and at higher doses, it produces hallucinogenic effects. It is taken orally.
nalfurafine
Nalfurafine (INN, USAN; brand name Remitch; former developmental code names TRK-820, AC-820, MT-9938) is an antipruritic (anti-itch drug) that is marketed in Japan for the treatment of uremic pruritus in individuals with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. It activates the κ-opioid receptor (KOR) and is potent, selective, and centrally active. It was the first selective KOR agonist approved for clinical use. It has also been dubiously referred to as the "first non-narcotic opioid drug" in history.

noribogaine
Noribogaine, also known as '''O-desmethylibogaine or 12-hydroxyibogamine', is the principal psychoactive metabolite of the oneirogen ibogaine. It is thought to be involved in the antiaddictive effects of ibogaine-containing plant extracts, such as Tabernanthe iboga''.
Asimilobine
Asimilobine is an inhibitor of dopamine biosynthesis, and a serotonergic receptor antagonist.
O-methylpsilocin
4-MeO-DMT, or 4-methoxy-DMT, also known as '4-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine or as O-methylpsilocin (PSOM'), is a serotonin receptor modulator and possible psychedelic drug of the tryptamine and 4-hydroxytryptamine families. It is the O-methylated analogue of psilocin (4-HO-DMT) and a positional isomer of 5-MeO-DMT.
