Psychedelics are often associated with disconnecting from reality, but a recent neuroimaging study found that psilocybin can actually make our brain activity more attuned to the world around us.

Maybe they are referring to ibogaine as a partial agonist for opioid receptors. "Hits receptors sideways" is an odd and incorrect way of stating that though

    I disagree, it's common parlance.

    What are you actually referring to though? Was I correct that you are implying that it is a partial agonist?

    "Hits the receptor sideways" may be common pseudoscientific jargon, but it means nothing within the context of neuroscience or neuropharmacology.

    So, to clarify, what exactly do you mean by it?

    I explained this in another response. I will not explain again because I think you are acting like a [redacted,] and as such suspect you are one of those people with nothing to contribute so you just look for people to put down, and choose half baked reasons to do so.

    Frankly you don't warrant a respone, you half wit supporters either.

    Something may have gotten lost in the mix. You are taking a very defensive stance, when I asked a neutral question.

    I looked through your responses, and at no point did you clarify what you actually meant by the phrase "hits the receptor sideways".

    I'm pretty sure you are referring to the fact that it is a partial agonist, and all I requested was that you clarify if that was the case.

    I apologize if that somehow put you on your heels.

    That said, there is no need for name calling or projecting ill intent. Thank you very much

    Common parlance, not speaking scientifically, is not pseudoscience for starters, and that you think it is says a lot about the wisdom of even further responding to you here.

    You just have no idea what you're talking about and you're too lazy to google the actual responses and copy and paste them here. hilarious and pathetic
