4-AcO-DMT (4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) is a synthetic tryptamine and a substituted form of the psychedelic compound DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine).
4-AcO-DMT is a prodrug, meaning that it is converted into the active compound psilocin (the primary psychoactive compound in “magic mushrooms”) when ingested. This is due to the presence of an acetyl group on the nitrogen atom, which makes it easier for the compound to pass through the blood-brain barrier and be metabolized into psilocin.
As a psychedelic substance, 4-AcO-DMT produces effects that are similar to those of psilocybin, LSD, and other psychedelics. These effects can include changes in perception, thought, and mood, as well as altered sensory experiences and profound insights. The onset of effects typically occurs within 20-60 minutes of ingestion and can last for several hours, depending on the dose and individual metabolism.
It’s important to note that the use of 4-AcO-DMT and other psychedelics carries potential risks and should be approached with caution. The substance is currently illegal in many countries, and it is recommended that anyone considering using it do thorough research and take appropriate safety precautions.
