What is 4-HO-MET?

4-HO-MeT, also known as 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine, is a research chemical that belongs to the group of synthetic tryptamine compounds and has similar psychedelic effects to other tryptamines, including the active ingredient in certain mushrooms. It binds to serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor, leading to altered states of consciousness, perception and mood.

The origin of 4-HO-MeT is not fully known, but it was reportedly first synthesised in the 1960s by Alexander Shulgin, a chemist and pharmacologist known for his work on psychedelics. Shulgin noted that the compound had a similar chemical structure to psilocin, but with unique effects and characteristics.

Today, 4-HO-MeT is mainly used as a research substance and is not intended for human consumption. It is often used in studies on the effects of psychedelic substances on the brain and for the development of potential therapeutic applications.

The safety profile of 4-HO-MeT has not yet been fully assessed, but it is known for its potentially serious psychological effects, and its use may be risky. Being a synthetic compound, the long-term effects of its use on human health are not well known.
