Summary
4-AcO-DET is a rare psychedelic tryptamine first synthesized by Albert Hofmann in 1958. It is believed to act as a prodrug for 4-HO-DET (ethocin). Effects are similar to psilocin, though some users report it being more stimulating and anxiety-inducing than other 4-substituted tryptamines. Visual geometry is described as more similar to LSD or 2C-B than to 4-AcO-DMT, with an artificial or synthetic aesthetic quality. There is very limited research on its toxicity and long-term safety profile.
Perspectives
“4-AcO-DET is a short trip. It's less introspective and more outrospective. You find yourself hyperanalyzing everything.”
