4-HO-MET, or 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine, also known as metocin, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is a structural− and functional analog of psilocin as well the 4-hydroxyl analog of MET. 4-HO-MET was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), the minimum dosage is listed as 10-20 mg. 4-HO-MET produces psilocin-like distortion of color, sound, and form. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-HO-MET. There have been no reports of deaths from 4-HO-MET, even though people have reported taking doses up to 150mg[1], many times the effective dose by a large magnitude. [2] It has been classified as a controlled substance in Sweden as of May 1, 2012.[3]

Effects
Users report similar effects to psilocin, including mydriasis, closed and open eye visuals, euphoria, time dilation and general change in thought processes. These effects occur in a wavelike pattern such as that of psilocybin with near-normal perception and high effect varying rapidly. However, the two substances are not equal and effects vary, for example: Users report more laughter than with other psychedelics. [4] The effects last for about 4-6 hours. [5]
Dosage
Similar to O-Acetylpsilocin, a dose ranges from around 8mg to 30mg. However, this varies greatly as some report very heavy experiences with doses as low as 17mg, yet others report light experiences with doses as high as 30mg. [6]
| Metocin | Oral Dose |
|---|---|
| Threshold | 2 mg-8 mg |
| Light | 5 mg-10 mg |
| Common | 8 mg-15 mg |
| Strong | 15 mg-30 mg |
| Heavy | 45 mg+ |
