1V-LSD
1V-LSD (also known as 1-valeroyl-lysergic acid diethylamide) is a semisynthetic psychedelic drug of the lysergamide class. It is an analog of LSD and is named for the valeric acid attached to the nitrogen molecule of LSD's indole.
History[edit | edit source]
1V-LSD was first synthesized by the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in the 1960s, but it did not gain popularity until the 2010s. It is part of a larger group of LSD analogs, including AL-LAD, ETH-LAD, and 1P-LSD.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Like other lysergamides, 1V-LSD likely acts as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist. However, the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood. It is thought that the drug's psychedelic effects come from its efficacy at the 5-HT2A receptors distributed throughout the brain.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 1V-LSD are similar to those of LSD, but with a slightly longer duration. Users report visual hallucinations, altered thinking processes, closed and open eye visuals, synesthesia, an altered sense of time, and spiritual experiences.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 1V-LSD varies by country. In many countries, it is a controlled substance, similar to other LSD analogs. However, in some countries, it is legal to possess and use.
Safety[edit | edit source]
As with all psychedelics, 1V-LSD can cause adverse psychological reactions such as anxiety, paranoia, and delusions. There are no known physical health risks, but the drug's effects on the brain are not fully understood.
