Users report that the subjective effects of 4-AcO-DMT are extremely similar to those of [[psilocybin mushrooms]]. Like psilocybin, 4-AcO-DMT is theorized to act as a [[prodrug]] to [[psilocin]], which may account for this similarity. Notable effects include [[geometry|geometric visual hallucinations]], [[time distortion]], [[introspection|enhanced introspection]], and [[ego loss]]. Its classical psychedelic effects and favorable tolerability has led it to become popular among novel psychoactive substance users, particularly those seeking [[entheogenic]] experiences. | |||
Very little data exists on the pharmacology, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-AcO-DMT. Like other psychedelics, it is assumed to be non-toxic and non-addictive (although there is no evidence to support this). It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance. | Very little data exists on the pharmacology, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-AcO-DMT.
