this is an uninformed comment. Medical science literature starts out in Chapter 1 with "some kinds of drugs create chemical states that are not possible without the substance, while others change chemical states that are also naturally occurring" .. roughly paraphrased.
A notable thing about this topic is so many people assume they have expert insights?
- xk_id 2y agoPsychedelics are textbook examples in support of the functional selectivity model, because while they bind to the same receptors to which endogenous neurotransmitters do, they trigger very different signalling cascades inside the cell. Maybe read more than chapter 1 of medical science literature? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_selectivity#Examples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_selectivity#Example...
