Analogs
The acetic acid ester of 4-HO-DET is known as 4-AcO-DET or ethacetin. The phosphoric acid ester of 4-HO-DET is known as 4-phosphoryloxy-DET, CEY-19, or ethocybin.
History
4-HO-DET received the lab code CZ-74 in the late 1950s by the inventors of the substance, Albert Hofmann and Franz Troxler. The substance was used together with its phosporyloxy-analog CEY-19 in human clinical trials in the 1960s by the German researchers Hanscarl Leuner and G. Baer.
Dosage
10-25mg is the usual oral dosage for 4-HO-DET, while the acetate and phosphate esters are said to require a slightly higher dosage.
Effects
Ethocin produces entheogenic effects similar to LSD and psilocybin. Some users have reported unpleasant anxiety and stimulation with this drug, while other accounts label the experience as being much milder than LSD or psilocybin.
