Summary
4-HO-DET is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. The toxicity and long-term health effects have not been studied in any scientific context. Compared to psilocin, 4-HO-DET has been reported to have a slightly longer duration, less pronounced bodily effects, and more synthetic or algorithmic-style visuals. It is strongly recommended to use harm reduction practices when using this substance. Legal status varies by jurisdiction; it is unscheduled in the United States but may be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act.
Perspectives
“This is perhaps one of the more boring psychedelics I have tasted. The experience does not lend itself to any meaningful thought processes or profound explorations of existence.”
“This was in a gelatin capsule and it came on from a half hour to the three-quarter hour point like gang-busters. Time really slowed down, with sparkly-ness, interesting, and yet there was a touch of sadness. The intense visuals held the scene, and there was the compulsion to talk and to interact and to share stuff, but the erotic was not to be found. I slept OK but there was something uncomfortable at a deep level. Am OK.”
