4-HO-DET also known as 4-hydroxy-diethyl-tryptamine, CZ-74, or ethocin is a hallucinogenic psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family.
This compound was first discovered in the late 1950s by Albert Hofmann and Franz Troxler[3][4]. The substance was used together with its phosphoryloxy-analog 4-PO-DET in human clinical trials in the 1960s by the German researchers Hanscarl Leuner and G. Baer.
Today it is used as a recreational or entheogenic compound through the use of online research chemical vendors. However, it remains relatively uncommon and has very little history of human usage.

Pharmacology
4-HO-DET acts as a 5-HT2A partial agonist. The psychedelic effects are believed to come from 4-HO-DET's efficacy at the 5-HT2A receptors. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.

The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.
Physical effects

Distortions
4-HO-DET presents a full and complete array of visual distortions which generally includes:
- Drifting (melting, breathing, morphing and flowing)
- Tracers
- Depth perception distortions
- Symmetrical texture repetition
- Colour shifting
- Perspective distortions
Hallucinatory states
- Transformations
- Internal hallucinations (autonomous entities; settings, sceneries, and landscapes; alterations in perspective and scenarios and plots)
Auditory effects
The auditory effects of 4-HO-DET are common in their occurrence and exhibit a full range of effects which commonly includes:
Toxicity and harm potential
The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 4-HO-DET use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because 4-HO-DET is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people within the psychedelic community who have tried 4-HO-DET suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying this drug at low to moderate doses or using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).
Tolerance and addiction potential
4-HO-DET is non-habit forming and the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. It is most often self-regulating.
An almost immediate tolerance is built to 4-HO-DET after ingestion, preventing one from experiencing its full effects more often than every 4-7 days unless they increase their dose significantly.
