They moved two atoms within the intricate structure of LSD—a drug notorious for unlocking surreal dimensions of consciousness — and turned it into something else entirely.

A team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, made small tweaks to the molecular structure of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to see if it could be turned into an effective brain ...

You may begin to feel the effects of LSD, or acid, within 20 to 90 minutes. These effects usually last anywhere from 6 to 12 hours, and sometimes longer.

‘There are many non-hallucinogenic analogues of LSD, but the fundamental difference is that all of those compounds are very different in structure [to LSD]. JRT has the exact same overall shape as LSD ...

To design the drug, dubbed JRT, researchers flipped the position of just two atoms in LSD’s molecular structure. The chemical flip reduced JRT’s hallucinogenic potential while maintaining its ...

Looking at the molecular structure of LSD and how it fits like a glove into the pocket of serotonin receptors, Olson and his team surmised that if they clipped off two specific atoms from LSD, it ...
