4-HO-MET (4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine or metocin) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. 4-HO-MET was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), the dosage is listed as 10-20 mg.[1] Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-HO-MET.
Chemistry
It is a structural− and functional analog of psilocin as well the 4-hydroxyl analog of MET.
Pharmacology
Subjective effects
-visuals similar to DMT -less mentally deep than 4-aco-dmt? -less confusing than shrooms, 4-aco-dmt
The physical effects of 4-HO-MET can be broken down into # components all of which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. These are described below and generally include:
- Spontaneous tactile sensations -
- Stimulation - yes, might have been forced but not sure
- Increased bodily control - yes
- Enhancement of touch yes
The head space of 4-HO-MET is described by many as extremely relaxing, profound and stoning in its style when compared to other commonly used psychedelics such as LSD or 2C-B which tend to be energetic and stimulating. It contains a large number of psychedelic typical and unique cognitive effects.
The most prominent of these typical effects generally include:
- Current mind state enhancement yes
- Thought connectivity
- Feelings of fascination, importance and awe yes
- Time distortion yes
- Outrospection yes
- Deja-Vu
- Removal of cultural filter
- Feelings of predeterminism yes
- Conceptual thinking
- Outrospection yes
- Thought loops yes
- Direct communication with the subconsious
- Ego suppression, loss and death yes
- Feelings of interdependent opposites yes
- Delusions yes
- States of unity and interconnectedness yes
- Enhancement and suppression cycles - This can be described as constant waves of extremely stimulated and profound thinking which are spontaneously surpassed in a cyclic fashion by waves of general thought suppression and mental intoxication. These two states seem to switch between each other in a consistent loop once every 20 - 60 minutes.
-visuals are cartoon-like
4-HO-MET presents a full and complete array of possible visual enhancements which generally includes:
As for visual distortions and alterations, effects experienced are detailed below:
- Drifting (Melting, Flowing, Breathing and morphing) - In comparison to other psychedelics, this effect can be described as highly detailed, realistic, slow and smooth in motion and static in appearance.
- Tracers
- After images
- Symmetrical texture repetition
- Colour shifting
- Scenery slicing
The visual geometry that is present throughout this trip can be described as more similar in appearance to that of psilocin, ayahuasca and 2C-E than that of LSD. They can be comprehensively described as structured in their organization, organic in geometric style, intricate in complexity, large in size, fast and smooth in motion, colourful in scheme, glossy in colour, blurred in their edges and rounded in their corners. They have a very "natural" feel to them and at higher dosages are significantly more likely to result in states of Level 7B visual geometry over Level 7A.
Psilacetin and its various other forms produce a full range of high level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is more consistent and reproducible than that of many other commonly used psychedelics. These effects generally include:
- External hallucinations
- Internal hallucinations - This particular effect commonly contains hallucinations with scenarios, landscapes, settings, concepts and autonomous entity contact. They are more common within dark environments and can be described as internal in their manifestation, lucid in believability, interactive in style and almost exclusively of religious, spiritual, mystical or a transcendental nature in their overall theme.
The auditory effects of psilacetin are common in their occurrence and exhibit a full range of effects which commonly include:
Toxicity and Harm Potential
Lethal Dosage
There have been no reports of deaths from 4-HO-MET, even though people have reported taking doses up to 150 mg,[2] more than an order of magnitude above the effective dose.[3]
