4-Acetoxy-MET

4-Acetoxy-MET (4-Acetoxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine), also known as metacetin or 4-AcO-MET, is a hallucinogenic tryptamine. It is the acetate ester of 4-HO-MET, and a homologue of 4-AcO-DMT. It is a novel compound with very little history of human use. It is sometimes sold as a research chemical by online retailers.

It is expected that the compound is quickly hydrolyzed into the free phenolic 4-HO-MET by serum esterases, but human studies concerning the metabolic fate of this drug are lacking. There is proof that this is a very active substance.

Legality

gollark: How do they break it more than every other language?
gollark: If you want maximum efficiency and have no concern for practical human use, just take English, run it through a good compression algorithm, and encode it as syllables somehow.
gollark: It wouldn't be very good to *speak* that, because of low noise resistance.
gollark: It annoys me that nobody unironically uses machine-parseable languages, so you have to use either horrible regices or giant machine learning models to do natural language processing.
gollark: * 128 possible values, or 7 bits
