While you could say a drug is "LSD-like" because one of the many receptors it targets is also targeted by LSD, that would be more akin to saying a keyboard is "hard-drive-like" because they both plug into a computer. Biology is extremely complex, and even drugs that have similar receptor binding profiles can have very different effects. Most drugs will have action across a wide range of receptors. There are a multitude of drugs that target the 5-HT2A receptor, including the most common antidepressants and antipsychotics, for example. |

So USB hard drives might be keyboard like (for USB keyboards), but hard drives which dock to the SATA connector aren't …
Anyway, such comparisons sometimes limp and sometimes don't have any legs at all.
