This compound is pharmacologically unique when compared to other psychedelics through its action on [[serotonin]] receptors. It is one of the only [[Agonist#Agonists|full agonists]] for the human [[Serotonin#The 5-HT system|5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptor]] receptor in existence.<ref name="pmid21174090" /> In comparison, classical psychedelics such as [[LSD]], [[DMT]] and [[psilocin]] can only be considered [[Agonist#Agonists|partial agonists]].
