It’s nice to be back:) I have several fantastic posts to share over the coming weeks.

While I agree the work can be done without drugs for the most part, there are severe cases where outside intervention is necessary. These compounds do mimic endogenous compounds, but that’s only in their structure which allows them to bind to receptors in the body. The way they interact with these receptors as far from the same. Take LSD for example, when it binds to the receptor of the 5-HT series, it basically grabs hold of the receptor and continues stimulating it until the receptor is absorbed into the cell. Serotonin does not do this, and it’s part of why LSD lasts for so long.
