Ya, back to the original question at hand, this is something that is extremely hard to answer definitively. There is so much more research that needs to be done, not just in the field of psychedelics, but neuroscience\neurobiology and just our overall understanding of the nature of consciousness as a whole I think before we’ll really have a handle on how, or by what mechanism, each psychedelic is producing distinct mind states.
Now you can dig through papers by Dr. Nichols and the like and delve into the differing affinities for all the various receptors each respective compound has, G-Protein Coupled Receptors, Ligands, fluctuations in alpha-wave oscillations being linked to the induction of mystical states and loads of other jargon. But it’s some heavy duty reading to digest and without a firm understanding of Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, Chemistry and other specialized fields it will be hard to gain much insight from all the data. It’s fascinating stuff nonetheless and I try to grasp as much as I can even though it’s not related to my specific field. Good luck

This isn't an English class. You guys know what I mean when I say neuroscientifically. Shroomery is not on my list of high priorities to proofreading my posts.
Anyway, acid usually kicks in within 15 minutes for me, same as with mushrooms.

Ya man, no worries, that’s why I didn’t even bother addressing that, I figured you meant something along the lines of neurobiologically or neurochemically or whatever. The meaning was conveyed

Of course we all know what you mean. Still.

When I was younger, both acid and mushrooms used to take about 45 minutes to kick in but now that I'm older they both only take 15 minutes from the moment I swallow the last bit. I eat more healthfully now so maybe my gut is just really clean and absorbs things faster. I don't know.
