It activates the 5HT-2 serratonin receptors. This seems to turn off some of the normal restrictions on signals in the brain, so thoughts and sensory input feed back and are amplified. Sort of like taking the brake off a car.
If you play guitar, here is another good example - it's like turning up the gain knob on the guitar amp. Everything gets louder and so you can hear things you weren't able to hear before, but there is also more noise and distortion.
Much of this is speculation based on my experiences and the experiences of others. As far as scientific knowledge, we know it acts on the 5HT-2 receptors, but other than that we don't know much.
No, LSD is very non-toxic compared to most recreational drugs. It does not cause any physical damage to the body or the brain. All risks associated with LSD are psychological risks, it can be dangerous, but it wont cause physical damage unless thousands of doses are consumed at once. But I must stress that the psychological dangers are very real, and not fully understood yet, and that LSD should be no means be regarded as "safe".
Certain classes of drugs, known as neurotoxins, have been shown to alter or disrupt normal brain activity through obvious physical damage. These drugs cause structural changes to brain tissue and/or actual cell death. The damage caused varies by type of drug. In some instances, certain receptors cause overactivity which leads to cell death/damage.
No definitely not
No.
Alcohol does not kill brain cells. This myth was created by temperance activists to discourage drinking. In reality, drinking alcohol in moderation reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
I believe so.
Alcohol is the main drug which damages and kills brain cells. Marijuana on the other hand is neuroprotective, and prevents damage to brain cells. One study showed that cannabis protects against the damage caused by binge drinking.
yes. you are depriving you brain of oxygen and other vital gasses. breath.
THC is a neuron- protector, for it is proven. It does not kill nerve cells, for that is myth. Alcohol, to a certain degree, kills brain cells. In other words it is not extremely poisonous, but if too much is consumed it will kill many neurons. Ecstasy is to blame for the destruction of the cells which regulate serotonin release in the brain. The drug forces the brain to release excess serotonin, for this is why many people die from a serotonin overdose.
Drugs don't actually kill brain cells. However, certain drugs can affect the operation of brain cells, especially temporarily.
Long-term marijuana use can affect the brain in various ways, including memory and cognitive impairments, changes in brain structure and function, and potential addiction or dependence. It can also impact motivation, decision-making, and overall mental health. It's important to note that individual responses to marijuana can vary, and more research is needed to fully understand its long-term effects on the brain.
no cheese does not kill brain cells

No It offers neuroprotection, meaning it protects nerves and brain cells. There is also some evidence that it may facilitate brain cell development. The US DHS confirms the scientific research that marijuana can be used as a neuroprotectant and antioxidant, it hold the patent to these uses patent no. 6630507
Ink does not directly kill brain cells. However, the metals and toxins in ink can kill brain and other cells and is not good for the body or your health as a whole.

No, but it can lead to your brain cells weakening.
