The [[psychedelic]] effects are thought to primarily come from its efficacy at the 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptors distributed throughout the brain. 1cP-LSD also likely displays binding activity at a wide range of [[monoamine]] receptors, such as those for [[dopamine]] and [[norepinephrine]]. However, there is currently no data to support these claims. | The [[psychedelic]] effects are thought to primarily come from its efficacy at the 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptors distributed throughout the brain. 1cP-LSD also likely displays binding activity at a wide range of [[monoamine]] receptors, such as those for [[dopamine]] and [[norepinephrine]].
