The Classics

The substances most people mean when they say "psychedelics" — sorted into the two molecular families they descend from.

Tryptamines

Psilocybin

The gentle teacher — earthy, emotional, and the one most people meet first.

LSD

The long, bright marathon — clear-headed, electric, and slow to let go.

DMT

The ten-minute doorway. Smoked it's instant and total; brewed as ayahuasca, an all-night journey.

5-MeO-DMT

A different molecule entirely — the self dissolves to white. Easily confused with N,N, and far less forgiving.

Phenethylamines

Mescaline

The oldest road. Slow, warm, and ancestral — carried in peyote and San Pedro.

MDMA

The open heart. An empathogen, not a psychedelic — connection over kaleidoscope.

2C-B

The bridge — psychedelic eyes, MDMA body, and a steep dose curve.
