(6aR,9R)-N,N-diethyl-7-prop-2-enyl-6,6a,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-indolo[4,3-fg]quinoline-9-carboxamide
Al-LAD is a semi-synthetic lysergamide and primarily acts as an agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor. It induces psychedelic effects that may include visual and cognitive changes. The substance is pharmacologically related to LSD but exhibits its own effect profile. Risks include psychological distress and potential cardiovascular effects.
