1P-ETH-LAD

1P-ETH-LAD

1P-ETH-LAD (pronounced as "one pee eth lad") is a psychedelic and a research chemical that is structurally related to LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide). It is a member of the lysergamide family and is believed to produce its effects by binding to serotonin receptors in the brain.

Etymology

The name 1P-ETH-LAD is an acronym that stands for 1-Propionyl-6-ethyl-6-nor-lysergic acid diethylamide. The term is derived from the chemical structure of the compound, which is an analog of LSD with an additional propionyl group attached to the nitrogen of the polycyclic indole group of LSD.

Pharmacology

Like other psychedelics, 1P-ETH-LAD is thought to act primarily through agonism of the 5-HT2A receptor. However, the exact mechanism of action is still not fully understood. It is believed to produce its psychedelic effects by binding to and activating the serotonin receptors in the brain, which leads to increased activity of the prefrontal cortex (the area of the brain associated with complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decision making, and social behavior).

Effects

The effects of 1P-ETH-LAD are reported to be similar to those of classical psychedelics, including open and closed-eye visuals, time distortion, enhanced introspection, and ego loss. However, these effects are reported to be more intense and longer-lasting than those of LSD.

Legality

The legality of 1P-ETH-LAD varies by country. In some countries, it is considered a controlled substance and is illegal to possess, distribute, or manufacture. In others, it is legal for research purposes but not for human consumption.
