Psilocin

Psilocin is a psychoactive tryptamine that primarily acts as an active metabolite of psilocybin. It mainly binds to serotonin receptors, particularly 5-HT2A, thereby inducing psychedelic effects. The substance is being investigated in research for consciousness alteration and potential therapeutic applications. Risks primarily involve psychological stress and the possibility of unpleasant experiences.
