A really nice synopsis of our recently published study on lisuride vs LSD from Derek Lowe for "In The Pipeline" 😎
www.science.org/content/blog...
www.science.org/content/blog...
An LSD Comparison
LSD itself, then, is not a natural product. And neither is the compound to the right of it - that's lisuride, which was synthesized in the early 1960s. A lot of work has been done on this chemical framework, and lisuride itself has been marketed as a drug over the years for migraine and several other indications. It has no hallucinogenic effects, though.
