Hallucinogens work by bonding to specific receptors in the brain, specifically the 5HT2-A receptors, normally activated by serotonin. However, as most receptors have only an "on" and "off" switch, the 5HT2-A receptor has a third switch. This third switch is strictly set to create the entheogenic effect, meaning that it is a naturally, programmed process that has some sort of function for the individual and is present in most animal species. Many animals ingest hallucinogens and enjoy them, such as the reindeer of Siberia eating the Amanita Muscaria.
