Does LSD and mescaline belong to the psychotropic drug catetory opiates?

No, LSD is an ergot derivative, and mescaline is a phenethylamine. Neither are opiates LSD is not an ergot derrivative -- that would be ergotamine, another hallucinogen, this time alkaloidal (LSD is an acid). LSD does nto occur in nature, and must be synthesized. All the rest is spot on. http://www.answers.com/topic/phenethylamine


What does mescaline stimulate the release of?

Mescaline is 3,4,5-trimethoxy-phenethylamine. Its structure is similar to the neurotransmitter dopamine and the amino acids phenethylamine and phenylalanine. Its stimulant effects come from its action on the dopaminergenic nervous system. However, its psychedelic effects arise from its action on the 5HT2A receptors of the serotonergic nervous system. In this regard, it is most likely a direct agonist of these sites.
