4-HO-MPT: Difference between revisions

Little is currently known about this substance, though it is starting to gain interest amongst psychonauts who seek out these types of experiences.<ref>http://www.bluelight.org/vb/members/377522-Kaleida|View Profile: Kaleida | Bluelight</ref>

Today it is either used rarely as a [[recreational drug use|recreational drug]] or as [[entheogen]]ic compound and is typically acquired through the use of online [[research chemical]] vendors on which it first appeared as recently as mid 2016.  

{{Main|Serotonergic psychedelic}}

Like with most [[psychedelic]] tryptamines, 4-HO-EPT is thought to act principally as a [[Serotonin#The_5-HT_system|5-HT_2A]] [[Agonist#Agonists|partial agonist]]. The psychedelic effects are believed to come from 4-HO-EPT's binding efficacy at the 5-HT_2A receptors. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 4-HO-MPT use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact [[Toxicity::toxic dose is unknown]]. This is because 4-HO-MPT is a [[research chemical]] with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people within the psychonaut community who have tried 4-HO-MPT suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). [https://www.google.com/ Independent research] should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption.  

It is strongly recommended that one use [[responsible drug use|harm reduction practices]] when using this drug.

4-HO-MPT is generally considered [[Addiction potential::not habit-forming]] and the desire to use it can actually decrease with regular consumption. Like with most [[psychedelics]], it is most often thought to be self-regulating.  

Tolerance to the effects of 4-HO-MPT are built [[Time to full tolerance::almost immediately after ingestion]]. After that, it takes about [[Time to half tolerance::3 days]] for the tolerance to be reduced to half and [[Time to zero tolerance::7 days]] to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 4-HO-MPT presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all [[psychedelic]]s]], meaning that after the consumption of 4-HO-MPT all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.

==Legal issues==

*'''United Kingdom:'''It is illegal to produce, supply, or import this drug under the Psychoactive Substance Act, which came into effect on May 26th, 2016.<ref>Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 (Legislation.gov.uk) | http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2016/2/contents/enacted</ref>

*'''United States:'''4-HO-MPT is unscheduled in the United States. It may be considered an analog of [[psilocin]] (which is a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act). As such, the sale for human consumption or the use for illicit non-medical or industrial intents and purposes could be prosecuted as crimes under the Federal Analog Act.
