I want to look further into this topic, can anyone point me in a good direction?
 
That's like an incredibly broad topic brah lol, super interesting though..

Are you interesting in the brain state during exposure to the drug or the lasting effects? There's alot of info out already about the former, but as for lasting effects I reckon that's where lots and lots of people are currently doing research. Still lot's of unknowns to all of it though.
 
are you talking about receptors, receptor subtypes, agonists, and other keywords like that?
 
I've been reading a little about the 5ht2-a receptor but that's about as much as I know on that subject. So, I guess it'd be a good place to start. And to answer Prozacs' question, it'd be the chemical state of the brain while undergoing psychedelic trips.

or maybe lasting changes to neurotransmitter levels...

there are a million different subtopics here OP, hows about ya tell us what exactly yous lookin' to learns about
Click to expand...

Basically, I just want to learn the standard, up-to-date information about how psychedelics trigger these altered states. Everything from the moment of ingestion until waking up the next morning. Also, if possible, an explanation for the mysterious "E.T."
 
well, i hate to burst your bubble but as far as i know there isn't much reading on the Everything from the moment of ingestion until waking up the next morning...

medical science can tell you about objective receptor affinity, but it will refuse to talk about the subjective psychology behind it.

psychiatric science can tell you about the subjective experience compared to other known altered states of consciousness, but cannot talk about the spiritual unknown.

monks can tell you about the inner peace, but unless you find a really cool monk i don't think they'd ever become a tripping buddy ;)


Bluelight, erowid, and other places like these are really the FOREFRONT of research on these altered states of mind. Shulgin, Nichols et al are adding volumes of information to our scientific literature, but "responsible researchers" can add LIBRARIES of data regarding personal response to these godly chemicals.
