Pharmacokinetics
• Predominantly ingested– Fresh mushroom, dried, powdered, encapsulated– Slower onset compared to smoking, injecting

Acute Effects
• Elevated senses (auditory, visual, emotions)• Hallucinations• Euphoria at lower doses• Anxiety at higher doses (bad trip)• Limited dopamine release

Mode of Action
• Same receptor as LSD – Causes Tolerance (need more to get high)
• Increase serotonin release in synapse

Withdrawal
• Insignificant “comedown” • Hallucination Persisting Perception Disorder
(HPPD)– Flashbacks

Treatment
• Acute (right away, for overdose)– Can’t undo “bad trip”– Wrong mushroom = DEATH!– Benzos (eg. Xanax) can remove some anxiety
• Chronic (long term)– Considered not addictive
• Low dopamine = low addictiveness

How Does It Work?
LSD looks like serotonin (5HT)
LSD binds to many serotonin receptors, causing hallucinations
Profound cross-tolerance with other hallucinogens (i.e shrooms, molly)
