5-MeO-MET
Summary
An obscure psychedelic drug similar in structure to 5-MeO-DMT. Possibly first synthesised by Alexander Shulgin. Likely to have similar effects to other tryptamine psychedelics.
Perspectives
“This is a boring and uncomfortable drug when taken orally, underwhelming and underperforming in just about every conceivable way. The physical sensations consist primarily of discomfort and unease, with muscle aches, nausea, and excess stimulation. There is nothing remotely pleasant or enjoyable.”
