==Pharmacology==

The substituted amphetamine class of [[psychedelic]], [[entactogenic]] and [[stimulant]] drugs works via their action upon numerous receptors. Psychedelic effects can be attributed to action on the [[Serotonin#The 5-HT System|5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptor]]. Entactogenic and stimulant effects are due to their action as [[Releasing Agent|releasing agents]] of [[serotonin]], [[adrenaline]] and [[noradrenaline]]; or as [[Agonist#Agonists|agonists]] on the receptors of the previous neurotransmitters. The agonism of this set of receptors leads to an increased rate firing of the post-synaptic neuron, triggering both [[Thought acceleration|cognitive]] and [[Stimulation|physical stimulation]] within the user.
