4-HO-MET is ~~chemically~~ related to [[psilocin]], the active ingredient in [[psilocybin mushrooms]] ('''"magic mushrooms"'''). ~~Like other [[substituted tryptamines]], it produces~~ its ~~psychedelic~~ effects by ~~acting on~~ [[serotonin]] [[receptors]] in the brain.

4-HO-MET is structurally related to [[psilocin]], the active ingredient in [[psilocybin mushrooms]] ('''"magic mushrooms"'''). It is thought to produce its effects by binding to [[serotonin]] [[receptors]] in the brain.

4-HO-MET was first synthesized by the American chemist [[Alexander Shulgin]], who documented it in his 1997 book [[TiHKAL]] ("Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved"). Reports of human use began to surface in the late 2000s following its appearance on the online [[research ~~chemicals~~]] market. It has been sold alongside other psilocybin analogues such as [[4-AcO-DMT]] and [[4-HO-MiPT]].

[[Subjective effects]] include [[geometry|geometric visual hallucinations]], [[time distortion]], [[introspection|enhanced introspection]], and [[ego loss]]. Users typically describe 4-HO-MET as a more recreational version of [[psilocybin mushrooms]] or [[psilocin]] (4-HO-DMT) due to its less serious headspace and greater emphasis on visual effects.

Its psychedelic visuals are reported to be vivid and colorful.

Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-HO-MET. It is assumed to have a similar risk and toxicity profile as psilocin and [[4-AcO-DMT]] but there is no data to support this. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.
