Other psychedelics

Abstract

Abstract This chapter will detail some of the lesser-known psychedelics. While lesser known, some of these are arguably the most potent molecules, and one could argue these hold the most potential for medicine. We will go on a small journey into a lesser-understood corner of plant medicine and psychedelics. Many of the psychedelics discussed so far in this publication have well-elucidated and reasonably well-developed psychopharmacology. The lesser knowns are similarly less understood and have novel effects, the causes of which are still essentially baffling. In the great pursuit of psychedelic science there has been an increased interest to understand the potential of these lesser knowns, which will be overviewed here. There are also significantly fewer clinical data available for these, in fact, none in some cases, at least not of huge or encouraging impact to humanity thus far. It gives great pleasure to present five lesser knowns.
