This was the most fascinating finding to me. I really wouldn't have expected Salvia, Acid, Shrooms, etc. to all produce the same hallucinations ... but I guess ultimately they're all operating on the same core neurochemicals, so I guess it makes sense.
- LoganDark 2y agothe recent research on psilocybin therapy is very interesting and so long overdue, i am so glad it's finally happening
- aradox66 2y agoThat seems much more like a limitation of their analysis to me
- clbrmbr 2y agoThis. There’s obvious differences in salvinorin and psilocybin effects and both are well represented in the data. But keep in mind the current paper only looks at existing categories of visual effect. The second study might include a finer taxonomy.
- A7C3D5 2y agoThey don't, they are drastically different in character. There are close similarities within classes between some of the lysergamides, substituted phenethylamines or tryptamines. But even closely structurally related analogues can be extremely different (ex. 2C-E vs DOET vs 2C-C). LSD is almost nothing like psilocybin or mescaline or DMT. And nothing is like salvinorin...
- bongodongobob 2y agoAt low doses they're pretty similar. Moving patterns in wood grain, breathing objects, faintly fractalesque structures. When you take more they get fairly different.
