so you consider only 5HT2A-agonists as psychedelics?^ 4FA, methylone, and ethylone aren't psychedelic drugs. I don't know why they get talked about so much in this forum though!
I actually do pretty much only consider 5-HT2A agonists as psychedelics--a compound can certainly have a more diffuse receptor binding profile, but still I consider activity at 5-HT2A to be a minimum for inclusion. Since the word psychedelic refers to expanding one's cognition/consciousness and I wouldn't consider something that removes conscious awareness and impairs cognition--such as an anticholinergic--to be psychedelic.so you consider only 5HT2A-agonists as psychedelics?
OK, let's put the deliriants aside - I certainly think that also dissociatives, cannabis and fly agaric expand one's consciousness.I actually do pretty much only consider 5-HT2A agonists as psychedelics--a compound can certainly have a more diffuse receptor binding profile, but still I consider activity at 5-HT2A to be a minimum for inclusion.

I guess I'll just take some 2c-t-21 instead for the timeframe I'm looking for and to not have an unexpected surprise

I myself tend to a more general definition and therefore I consider all drugs which cause more profund effects than sedation or stimulation "psychedelic" (for the lack of a better word), including entactogens/empathogens, cannabis, fly agaric, salvia, dissociatives, even anticholinergics.
