4-Acetoxy-DET (4-Acetoxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine), also known as ethacetin, ethylacybin or 4-AcO-DET is a hallucinogenic tryptamine. It was first synthesized in 1958 by Albert Hofmann in the Sandoz lab.^[1]

It is expected that the compound is quickly hydrolyzed into the free phenolic 4-HO-DET by serum esterases, but human studies concerning the metabolic fate of this drug are lacking.

Dosage

4-Acetoxy-DET is orally active, and dosages of 10–25 mg are common. Effects last 4–6 hours.^[2] The free base is also active when smoked in a dose range of 5–20 mg.^[1] Smoking 4-acetoxy-DET greatly speeds up the onset; peak effects are experienced within 10 minutes, and are usually over within 1 hour.^[specify]

Legality

4-Acetoxy-DET is unscheduled in the United States, but possession and sales of 4-Acetoxy-DET could possibly be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act if intent to consume can be proven because of its structural similarities to DET.
