DET
Aliases: T-9, Diethyltryptamine
Summary
DET is a Schedule I controlled substance internationally under the UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances and is illegal in most countries. Unlike DMT, DET is orally active due to increased resistance to monoamine oxidase breakdown from its ethyl groups. The substance has extremely limited history of human use and no formal toxicity studies exist.
Perspectives
“I was in a public place, and might have had to interact with someone at any moment, which probably accounted for a grim paranoia and wish to retreat. I had my full effect in just over an hour, with almost no visual or physical properties, but a crashing fear of interacting. I had to retreat to a private place to read and appear deeply involved, but in another hour I found it an increasingly easy task to pretend to be normal. I carried it off, OK. Good sleep, no residues.”
