Understanding Psychedelics
Psychedelics are naturally occurring or synthetic compounds that temporarily alter perception, mood, and cognition. They expand consciousness by influencing serotonin receptors in the brain—especially the 5-HT2A receptor—creating profound sensory, emotional, and spiritual experiences.
Common examples include psilocybin (found in mushrooms and truffles), LSD, DMT, mescaline, and ayahuasca.
