Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LSD works primarily by binding to and stimulating the serotonin receptor subtype 5-HT2A. Therefore, blocking this receptor (option A) would prevent its hallucinogenic properties. The other receptor types listed (NMDA, opioid kappa, and muscarinic) are not directly involved in LSD's mechanism of action.
