1. Introduction


This is a detailed account of my second experience with the psychedelic substance 4-Ho-Met. The experience was shared with my partner, for whom it was her first encounter with a psychedelic. I chose this substance for her because of its reputation for offering a relatively manageable mental space while still providing a vivid and profound experience. The entire journey took place in a controlled, comfortable environment.

Previous Experience with Psychedelics and Recreational Drugs


I have significant prior experience with various psychedelics and recreational substances. This includes LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, 2C-B, 2C-E, 4-Ho-DMT, and ketamine (at psychedelic doses), as well as MDMA and mephedrone, which are more empathogenic in nature.


3. The Setting


Substance Information and Dosage


For this session, I ingested 25 mg of 4-Ho-Met (4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine) in gel-tab form. This was the same substance I had tried once before, though this time, I anticipated a more intense experience since I had not taken any other substances (like MDMA) recently.


Timing of the Experience


The gel-tab was taken at approximately 18:40. My partner and I began this trip together, as it was her first experience with psychedelics. We hoped the relatively mild headspace of 4-Ho-Met would provide her with a gentle introduction.


Accompanying Partner and Her Experience


Despite some physical discomfort (bodyload) and brief moments of anxiety, my partner had a generally positive experience. I was able to assist her through these moments based on my prior experiences, which included helping a previous partner through a bad trip. In this case, though, the anxiety was mild, and my partner responded well to advice on how to manage her thoughts and sensations.


4. Onset and Initial Effects


Early Visuals and Headspace


Within 20 to 30 minutes of ingestion, I began to notice the onset of drifting visuals. These effects were subtle at first, but the visuals gradually became more pronounced. My partner and I started by watching a nature documentary but later switched to a Chromecast screensaver, which provided high-definition images of patterns and landscapes. The drifting effects became more noticeable as we focused on these visuals.


Bodyload and Physical Sensations


Around 35 to 40 minutes into the experience, the bodyload set in. This sensation was not overwhelming but typical of psychedelics—manifesting as increased heart rate, muscle tightness, and some mild difficulty regulating body temperature. The bodyload lasted for about 20 to 30 minutes before it was replaced by a strong sense of physical euphoria.


5. Peak of the Experience


Visual Fractals and Patterns


At the peak of the experience, I was treated to an internal light show that matched the descriptions found in various psychedelic reports. The visuals quickly became very intense, consisting of fractals and shifting digital and neon-colored patterns. These visuals were accompanied by an extremely powerful body high that felt almost orgasmic.


Intense Body High and Euphoria


This bodily euphoria was unlike anything I had experienced with other psychedelics. It was much stronger than MDMA or mephedrone, which usually offer a more emotional or empathetic high. The body high from 4-Ho-Met felt more physical/sensory and was far more intense than any previous psychedelic I've taken. This included stronger effects compared to substances like LSD, mushrooms, and 2C-family compounds.


I suspect that my first experience with 4-Ho-Met had been somewhat muted due to having taken MDMA around the same time, which may have depleted some of the "feel-good" chemicals in my system. This time, with no recent substance use, the euphoria was much more pronounced and sustained.


The sensation continued for what felt like over 20 minutes, making it the longest sustained body high I've experienced on a psychedelic. It was a fantastic, overwhelming feeling that kept me deeply engaged with the trip.


6. Emotional and Mental Experience


Internal Visualization and Spiritual Sensations


As the body high and visuals intensified, I found myself needing to lie down on the carpet to process everything. I began to imagine a goddess entity flying through me, intertwined with the geometric fractals in an almost orgasmic dance. While I'm not a particularly spiritual person, the sensation felt like my mind was providing imagery to make sense of the intense physical sensations I was experiencing. It was at this moment that I understood what people mean when they describe having a "full-body orgasm."


Mind-Body Connection


The headspace remained fairly clear throughout the experience, but the overwhelming sensations took precedence. The internal visualization of the goddess and the fractals was a way for my mind to interpret the deeply physical, almost surreal experience of pleasure and euphoria coursing through my body.


Managing the Experience for the Partner


At some point, I began to come down slightly, either naturally or because I felt the need to be more present for my partner. She was a bit behind me in terms of the onset of effects and was somewhat envious of the intensity and speed at which my experience unfolded. While she was dealing with the emotional and intellectual aspects of the trip, I sensed that the experience was more challenging for her to process, which is common for a first-time user.


7. Conclusion


Reflections on the Experience


This second encounter with 4-Ho-Met was far more intense and euphoric than my first, likely due to not having taken other substances recently. The internal visuals and orgasmic body high made it one of the most memorable psychedelic experiences I've ever had. The headspace remained clear, and the effects, though overwhelming at times, were profoundly enjoyable.


Lessons and Insights


For those new to psychedelics or looking for a unique experience, 4-Ho-Met offers a relatively light headspace with potential for incredibly strong physical sensations and visual effects. While it may be easier to manage mentally, it can still be overwhelming in terms of the physical euphoria and visual stimulation it provides. Having a trusted partner and creating a comfortable, controlled environment are essential to ensure a positive experience.
