The toxicity and harm potential of 4-Me-αET are not well established, as there is limited research on the drug and its effects in humans. However, based on the available data on other psychedelic substances that act on the serotonin receptors, there are some potential risks associated with the use of 4-Me-αET. | |||
For example, serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur when there is excessive stimulation of serotonin receptors in the brain, either from taking high doses of a single drug or from combining multiple drugs that affect serotonin levels. While there have been no reports of serotonin syndrome specifically linked to the use of 4-Me-αET, the risk of this condition may be increased when using any drug that affects serotonin levels. | |||
Other potential risks associated with the use of 4-Me-αET and other psychedelic substances include the possibility of acute psychological distress or "bad trips," which can occur when the drug induces intense or unpleasant emotions or thought patterns. There is also a risk of accidents or injuries due to impaired judgment or coordination while under the influence of the drug, as well as the possibility of long-term psychological effects such as persistent changes in mood, anxiety, or perception. | |||

The lethal dosage of 4-Me-αET is not well established due to limited research on the drug's effects in humans. The risks and potential harms associated with 4-Me-αET use should be carefully considered by anyone contemplating its use, and the drug should only be taken under the guidance of a trained medical professional in a controlled and safe environment. It is important to note that the use of any psychoactive substance carries inherent risks, and caution should be exercised to minimize the possibility of harm. | |||
===Tolerance and addiction potential=== | ===Tolerance and addiction potential=== | ||
The tolerance and addiction potential of 4-Me-αET are not well studied due to limited research on the drug. However, based on the pharmacological properties of the drug and its effects on the brain's serotonin receptors, it is possible that regular use of 4-Me-αET could lead to the development of tolerance and dependence over time. | |||
Tolerance occurs when the body becomes less responsive to the effects of a drug over time, which can lead to users needing to take higher and higher doses to achieve the same level of effects. Dependence, on the other hand, occurs when the body becomes physically or psychologically reliant on a drug, leading to withdrawal symptoms when the drug is stopped or reduced. | |||
It is important to note that the risks associated with 4-Me-αET use may be compounded by the fact that the drug is not well studied and is not approved for any medical use. | |||
