'''1P-ETH-LAD'''

'''1P-ETH-LAD''' (pronounced as "one pee eth lad") is a [[psychedelic]] and a [[research chemical]] that is structurally related to [[LSD]] (Lysergic acid diethylamide). It is a member of the [[lysergamide]] family and is believed to produce its effects by binding to [[serotonin]] receptors in the brain. 

==Etymology==

The name '''1P-ETH-LAD''' is an acronym that stands for 1-Propionyl-6-ethyl-6-nor-lysergic acid diethylamide. The term is derived from the chemical structure of the compound, which is an analog of LSD with an additional propionyl group attached to the nitrogen of the polycyclic indole group of LSD.

==Pharmacology==

Like other psychedelics, '''1P-ETH-LAD''' is thought to act primarily through agonism of the [[5-HT2A receptor]]. However, the exact mechanism of action is still not fully understood. It is believed to produce its psychedelic effects by binding to and activating the serotonin receptors in the brain, which leads to increased activity of the [[prefrontal cortex]] (the area of the brain associated with complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decision making, and social behavior).

==Effects==

The effects of '''1P-ETH-LAD''' are reported to be similar to those of classical psychedelics, including open and closed-eye visuals, time distortion, enhanced introspection, and ego loss. However, these effects are reported to be more intense and longer-lasting than those of LSD. 

==Legality==

The legality of '''1P-ETH-LAD''' varies by country. In some countries, it is considered a controlled substance and is illegal to possess, distribute, or manufacture. In others, it is legal for research purposes but not for human consumption.
