Les années soixante aux États-Unis ont été une décennie turbulente. L’un des principaux éléments de cette transformation sociale, sociétale et culturelle est sans nul doute la « révolution psychédélique » qui a profondément secoué la Californie en général et le quartier de Haight-Ashbury à San Francisco en particulier. La déferlante psychédélique a radicalement transformé la Californie. Le...
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and disabling condition affecting over 350 million individuals worldwide. Although conventional antidepressants targeting serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline pathways provide benefit for many, a substantial proportion of patients experience inadequate response. Treatment-resistant depression (TRD), defined by failure to respond to at least two...
1-Acetyl-N,N-diethyllysergamide (1A-LSD, ALD-52) was first synthesized in the 1950s and found to produce psychedelic effects similar to those of LSD. Evidence suggests that ALD-52 serves as a prodrug in vivo and hydrolysis to LSD is likely responsible for its activity. Extension of the N1-alkylcarbonyl chain gives rise to novel lysergamides, which spurred further investigations into their...
Recent legislative initiatives in the United States have focused on the medical and legal status of psychedelics, prompting interest in understanding public perceptions of their risks. This study investigates rural-urban differences in the perception of LSD and cannabis risks using national survey data. Data from the National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) between 2015 and 2021 were...
The current research on psychedelic compounds such as lysergic amide diethylamide (LSD) is leaning heavily on the notion that psychedelics are not addictive. While much of the literature supports this argument, some of the common use patterns and the descriptions of the subjective effects of these compounds in humans, together with rather lacking and mixed data from non-human animal studies...
O LSD (dietilamida do ácido lisérgico), tradicionalmente conhecido por seus efeitos psicodélicos, tem atraído crescente interesse na pesquisa científica devido ao seu potencial terapêutico em uma série de distúrbios neurológicos e psiquiátricos. Este artigo revisa as evidências recentes sobre os efeitos do LSD, destacando sua capacidade de promover a neuroplasticidade, modular o sistema...
The classical psychedelic drug (+)-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) continues to attract considerable multidisciplinary interest, and over the last eight decades, many derivatives and analogs of LSD have been synthesized. One site on the ergoline scaffold of LSD that has been frequently modified is the N1-position, with the N1-acylated LSD derivative 1-acetyl-LSD (1A-LSD, ALD-52) being one of...
Anxiety affects 14-20% of dogs. Pharmacological treatments often fail. Psychedelics have shown to be useful for anxiety and depression in humans, but their veterinary use remains unexplored. We aimed to determine the effects of low-dose 1-cyclopropionyl-d-lysergic acid diethylamide (1cp-LSD) administered in a single dose to a dog, to observe the effect and establish the safety of the substance....
Despite widespread popular interest in the use of low doses of Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to improve mood, little is known about how these doses affect emotional processing in the brain. In this study, we tested the effect of a single low dose of LSD (26 µg) compared with placebo on electroencephalogram (EEG) event-related potentials (ERP: N170, P300 and Mismatch Negativity) in healthy...
