Experience:4-HO-MPT (~130mg, oral) - Confusing and underrated psychedelic
- Substance(s): 4-HO-MPT
- Dose: around 120 mg
- Route of Administration: Oral
Subject
- Age: 21
- Sex: M
- Height: 178 cm
- Weight: 60 kg
- Date: 09/2022
- Misc: I take Venlafaxine (SNRI) 150 mg daily, which noticeably increases my tolerance to psychedelics. That means that the dosage will not accurately translate to an unmedicated person.
Background
I take antidepressants which increases my tolerance to serotonergic psychedelics. I occasionally experiment with psychedelics, but wouldn't call myself too experienced.
Experience report
I managed to get hold of a gram of 4-HO-MPT, which I wanted to try, as I enjoyed some other 4-HO substituted tryptamines (psilocin, 4-HO-DPT). The experience reports on PsychonautWiki and Erowid include many (not actually many though; 4-HO-MPT seems have the fewest reports out of the available 4-HO-xxTs) "disappointments" and "underwhelming experiences" but also a few positive reports so it was exciting to try a substance with such divisive reports.
Timeline
T+ 0:00 - Administered ("bombed") something above 100 mg of 4-HO-MPT.
T+ 0:05 - I felt already some mild physical effects, but most likely strongly influenced by placebo.
T+ 0:30 - Noticeable somewhat stimulating "body high" - feelings of bodily lightness and physical euphoria, combined with tactile enhancement on similar level to higher doses of cannabis. The physical effects are more pronounced than in any other psychedelic I have tried. At this time, visual effects started appearing as slow movements and almost static distortions when I was looking at text. With closed eyes, I saw mostly colorful noise which sometimes created some geometry.
T+ 0:45 - Effects quickly increased in intensity. It became very hard to focus and maintain a stream of thoughts; I was easily distracted and fascinated by things, which caused me to browse Wikipedia and jump from article to article, though I didn't really learn much from any of them. With eyes closed, I could see quite complex geometry that was similar to that of 4-HO-DPT. Physical effects were still on similar level and I noticed some effects of vasoconstriction on my thighs/crotch which I normally get from psychedelics (especially LSD). Looking in mirror, I could see pupil dilation.
T+ 1:00 - 2:00 - I was lying on bed with a pillow on my head, looking at the closed eye visuals and thinking about reality for almost an hour. "Why does anything happen when it doesn't have to?" was the question that bugged me the most. I gave up on solving it because I figured out that it's impossible, and even if it was possible, I couldn't do it, because the short term memory suppression made it hard to hold a single thought for longer time. Atoms, universe, eternity, subjectivity, many thoughts, many questions, few answers. During this time I definitely noticed some mild auditory hallucinations as well.
T+ 2:15 - I experienced mild nausea and feelings of slight physical discomfort. It felt too hot.
T+ 2:30 - The peak ended faster than in most other psychedelics and three hours in I was able to function almost normally. The rest of the evening was the comedown, still I could see some visual distortion, my ability to focus was significantly worsened and my eyes felt tired.
T+ 3:30 - I masturbated to pornography and didn't notice significant orgasm enhancement. However I think that the physical effects experienced during the come up and peak could be good for sexual settings.
T+ 6:00 - Visual effects practically ended. The confusion and worsened attention remained until I went to sleep.
Overall, I think that this compound has potential for exploring consciousness and learning about self. Comparing my experience with those that are available on the internet, it is clear that the effects of this drug greatly depend on the user and the dose. The confusing mental effects make this psychedelic more "unfriendly", but the short duration makes it good for experimenting.
