'''N-Methyl-N-isopropyllysergamide''' (also known as '''methylisopropyllysergamide''', '''Lamide''' and '''MiPLA''') is a lesser-known novel [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::lysergamide]] class. MiPLA is structurally related to [[LSD]] and likely has a similar mechanism of action, working primarily by binding to the [[serotonin]]-2A [[receptor]] in the brain.{{citation needed}} | '''N-Methyl-N-isopropyllysergamide''' (also known as '''methylisopropyllysergamide''', '''Lamide''' and '''MiPLA''') is a lesser-known novel [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::lysergamide]] class.

User reports describe the effects of MiPLA as similar to those of LSD but with some notable differences. It has been described as more mentally and physically oriented than LSD but with a less introspective headspace, accompanied by subtle visuals. It also has a notably shorter duration at around 6 hours and is generally described as less anxiety-provoking than LSD and other lysergamides. | User reports describe the effects of MiPLA as similar to those of LSD but with some notable differences.
