Guesstimation of number of unique psychoactive chemicals?

[5 Dimensional Nick]

Hey Forumers,

How many different psychoactive chemicals exist as of 2019?

This means all analogs no matter how rare or popular....

eg. everything in PIHKAL and TIKHAL would be a start

I could not find the answer to this question anywhere and my ("relatively" educated) guess is in the high 5 figures.

Obviously the answer will be a guess as its constantly increasing and no-one has ALL the possible information to answer this question.

Thanks

'Psychoactive' is a really big word with alot of implications, might help to narrow that down before you go trying to develop a list. Psychedelics is an entirely different category IMO.

I think psychoactive is the best word for what i was aiming for.

And I'm not trying to develop a list.

Every chemical you put in your body has some level of psychoactive effect.

As far as psychedelics specifically:
