Talk:4-HO-MET/Archive 1

4-HO-MET (4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine or metocin) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is a structural− and functional analog of psilocin as well the 4-hydroxyl analog of MET. 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] 4-HO-MET produces psilocin-like distortion of color, sound, and form. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-HO-MET. 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]
