The psychedelic effects of all classical psychedelics, including psilocybin, are mediated by which receptors? The psychedelic effects of psychedelic substances are mediated via full or partial agonism at serotonergic 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptors (5-HT2ARs). Psilocybin’s activity at 5-HT2ARs and the possible involvement of these receptors in mediating the hallucinogenic effects of psilocybin were first reported in 1984 by Glennon and colleagues.
