4-Acetoxy-DET

4-Acetoxy-DET (4-Acetoxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine), also known as ethacetin, ethylacybin or 4-AcO-DET is a hallucinogenic tryptamine. It was first synthesized in 1958 by Albert Hofmann in the Sandoz lab.

Within the body a percentage may be partially hydrolized into the free phenol 4-HO-DET. Human studies concerning the metabolic fate of this drug are lacking.

Dosage
4-Acetoxy-DET is orally active, and dosages of 10-25 mg are common. Effects last 4-6 hours. The free base is also active when smoked in a dose range of 5-20 mg. Smoking 4-acetoxy-DET greatly speeds up the onset; peak effects are experienced within 10 minutes, and are usually over within 1 hour.

Legality
4-Acetoxy-DET is unscheduled in the United States, but possession and sales of 4-Acetoxy-DET could be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act because of its structural similarities to DET.
