PRO-LAD is a psychedelic compound that is structurally related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). It belongs to the class of lysergamides, which are known for their potent effects on the serotonin receptors in the brain.

Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]

Chemical structure of PRO-LAD

PRO-LAD is chemically known as (6aR,9R)-N,N-diethyl-7-propyl-4,6,6a,7,8,9-hexahydroindolo[4,3-fg]quinoline-9-carboxamide. It is a derivative of the ergoline family, which is characterized by a tetracyclic ring structure. The presence of a propyl group at the 7-position differentiates it from other lysergamides such as LSD.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

PRO-LAD acts primarily as a partial agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is believed to be responsible for its psychedelic effects. Like other lysergamides, it may also interact with other serotonin receptors, contributing to its complex pharmacological profile.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of PRO-LAD are similar to those of LSD, including alterations in perception, mood, and cognition. Users may experience visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in thought patterns, and an altered sense of time. The intensity and duration of effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of PRO-LAD varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others it may be unscheduled. Its legal status is often influenced by its structural similarity to LSD and other controlled lysergamides.
