Introduction
This report documents a personal experience with the substance 4-HO-MET, also known as 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine, a psychedelic tryptamine compound. The experience took place on August 9, 2017, involving a male participant, age 30, weighing 109 kg (240 lbs), and his girlfriend. This report aims to detail the effects of the substance at a moderate dosage of 22 mg, providing insights into its physical and mental impacts.
Dosage and Context
Both the author and their girlfriend took 22 mg of 4-HO-MET. The experience began with a relaxed setting—engaging in a simple card game to pass the time as the effects took hold. This is a common approach when experimenting with psychedelics, as it helps ground the experience in a familiar activity before more intense effects set in.
Experience Details
Initial Effects
As the card game came to an end, both individuals felt an overwhelming urge to lie down, indicating the onset of the substance's effects. This was accompanied by a strong body load, a term used to describe physical sensations such as heaviness or lethargy often experienced on psychedelics. They decided to lie down on the bed, cuddling for about an hour while experiencing this intense bodily sensation.
Physical Sensations
The body load lasted for the majority of the experience. Despite the heavy feeling, neither participant reported any notable nausea, which is often associated with tryptamines like mushrooms. However, the sensation was distinctively different from classic psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms, as the effects felt less mental and more physical.
Both participants felt cold during the experience, which is a common side effect in psychedelic experiences due to disrupted temperature regulation. In this case, the girlfriend reported the cold sensation more than the author did.
Visual Distortions
Although the substance is classified as a psychedelic, the visual effects were minimal. The report mentions thick, slightly blurry vision, which did not match the vivid, colorful visual hallucinations typical of substances like LSD or psilocybin. The visuals were subtle, lacking the intensity expected from a psychedelic experience at this dosage.
After Effects
Interestingly, once the experience ended, there was no exhaustion, which is usually a common aftermath of taking mushrooms or other tryptamines. The author noted that, typically, after mushroom experiences, users often feel mentally or physically drained, but this was not the case with 4-HO-MET. The experience seemed to end abruptly, without the usual lingering aftereffects or mental fatigue.
Effects Analysis
Temperature Regulation
One noticeable physical effect was a suppression of temperature regulation. The girlfriend reported feeling cold throughout the experience, though the author did not seem to experience this effect as strongly. This sensation of cold is common in psychedelics, potentially due to the body's inability to properly regulate heat during altered states of consciousness.
Yawning
Another notable effect was excessive yawning, which is commonly observed with many psychedelics. Yawning can be a response to the brain's altered state and is often a sign of the body’s attempt to manage the intensity of the experience. Both participants reported frequent yawning during the experience, which might be attributed to the body load or shifts in neurotransmitter activity.
Teeth Grinding
The author experienced a mild urge to grind their teeth. This symptom, although not very pronounced, is reminiscent of some stimulant-like effects often associated with the use of psychedelics and empathogens. However, in this case, the teeth grinding did not accompany any stimulating mental effects, making it an isolated physical response.
Visual Drifting
The visuals associated with the experience were described as "thick" and somewhat blurry. Unlike the intricate geometric patterns or vibrant colors commonly linked to tryptamines, the visual effects of 4-HO-MET at this dosage appeared to be minimal and lacked significant depth. This might suggest that a higher dose would be required to trigger the more pronounced visual aspects of this compound.
Conclusion
The 4-HO-MET experience described here was marked by strong physical sensations, such as body load and coldness, but lacked the typical mental and visual psychedelic effects often sought by users of substances like mushrooms or LSD. The 22 mg dose produced some mild effects, but overall, the experience was somewhat underwhelming, especially for someone seeking a full psychedelic journey. The most prominent features were the body load, subtle visual changes, yawning, and the mild urge to grind teeth.
Personal Thoughts and Future Plans
Reflecting on the experience, the author expressed disappointment in the overall effects of 4-HO-MET, noting that it did not deliver the type of psychedelic effects typically sought. While the physical sensations were prominent, the mental clarity and lack of intense visuals made it feel more like a novelty than a full-fledged psychedelic.
Interestingly, the author speculated about its possible use, suggesting that while it wasn’t mentally impairing enough to be dangerous in terms of abuse (i.e., a "date rape drug"), its clarity of mind might appeal to some, particularly younger individuals. However, the author indicated that this substance did not meet their desired expectations for a psychedelic experience, leading to the conclusion that they might experiment with 4-AcO-DMT in the future instead, a compound known for its similarity to psilocybin and often sought for its more profound visual and introspective effects.

This detailed account provides a comprehensive overview of a 4-HO-MET experience, focusing on the physical effects, minimal visuals, and overall sense of disappointment in its psychedelic properties. Future exploration of other substances like 4-AcO-DMT is considered a better alternative by the author.
