The 'hallucination' receptor?

If these receptors could be targetted alongside a psychedelic and the subject didnt experience any hallucinations then it could provide deeper insight into the mechanism of psychedelics and the treatment of psychosis.
Note I say 'mechanism' , not validity.

these findings suggest that the 5-HT2AR requires the expression of mGluR2 to induce hallucinogenic-dependent psychoactive states.
