Not on a train, sadly.
This experience happened early last february, but I decided to write a report on it today.

--

It seems like there is a pattern with me where psychedelics that I find interesting on paper tend to disappoint me upon trial, and those that I don’t tend to surprise me. I try not to judge anything before I try it though. However, 4-AcO-DET was certainly a compound that never interested me yet I was shocked when I tried it. I received 100 mg of this material as a gift from a friend. Here is a report of my first experience with it. Keep in mind that I have not yet had the chance to experience Psiloc(yb)in, so I will not be comparing 4-AcO-DET to it as most people seem to do. Apparently, a lot of the “unique” things I experienced with this compound are pretty customary with mushrooms. Keep that in mind while reading if you have previous experience with mushrooms.

A solution of 12 mg 4-AcO-DET dissolved in about 5 ml water was loaded to my trustworthy sterilized syringe and administered rectally. Everything was then washed thoroughly and the waiting game began.

To waste time, I talked to my friend on MSN. Only 7 mins later I was already off baseline! At a +. Here is a quote from my real time notes: “(+) Flushing of skin. Tingling extremities. Already seeing trailers. Body is happy.” This developed to a concrete ++ in just 3 minutes!! The speed of the onset is alarming. There was a definite body energy that did not seem to originate from anywhere in particular that became apparent during this swift come up. Within the next 3 mins there where even more developments. Everything started to ripple, and this was the most intense rippling effect I had ever seen on any psychedelic. There was also a hint of nausea, but nothing too disturbing.

At this point, as with most Tryptamines, I decided I better lie down. (Interestingly, I would normally go out walking during this period on most Phenethylamines). I just lay down, trying to keep myself from being overwhelmed negatively. The energy and the speed of the onset caught me unprepared. However, the trip seemed to be heading to a good direction. I spent quite some time simply staring at the grainy ceiling that never stopped chaotically rippling. I noticed that, with this drug, light was extremely intense. I am sure it was NOT that sunny 15 minutes ago.

By T+00:30, I was starting to get used to the effects of the drug, and I went with it. I closed my eyes – there where bright, chaotic visuals, mostly yellow, orange and white. I opened my eyes, only to be overwhelmed all over again! It seemed like I could trace the light as it entered the room. It was as if the sunlight reconstructed everything it touched all over again. I am trying to describe this because it was truly spectacular. I blinked many more times, and each time I opened my eyes the sunlight redrew the entire room all over again.

After enjoying this aspect for about 10 mins (around T+00:45 – there was some time dilation, btw), I decided I will listen to some music. I was still climbing. I also became aware of something that will remain throughout the trip. It was a curious feeling, as if peppermint was going through my nerves. It was a sort of sizzling coolness in my nerves… a couple of months later (today) I was reading PiHKAL and the last entry for 4-TASB did not seem to be far away from what I felt. It was not a very bad feeling (pretty interesting, actually), but it got me concerned about the neurotoxicity of this drug. This was enforced with occasional jaw tremors, something that I EXTREMELY hate. Anyways, the music produced many CEVs, most notable of which was what seemed like bright orange geometrical brambles that twined themselves around whatever image I had on my mind. There where also fractals of extremely bright yellows and oranges and pure black and white. There was a very “solar” aspect of this drug… there where bursts of extremely bright light with both my eyes open and closed… and I have no other word that describes it better. Solar. And this aspect seemed to relate a lot with the “mint” in my nerves. There was also a skin sensation of what I called “Psychedelic Jizz,” as if I was feeling the visuals as slime on my skin. This was more consistent with the bright orange CEVs.

At about T+01:00, I had plateaued at an extremely powerful +++. I Walked around the house. There was definite disorientation, not unlike that produced by alcohol. I looked in the mirror, and it SEEMED like one pupil was largerthan the other. Every time I blinked, the change sizes,but theyare never equal. I am not sure if this was physiological or an actual hallucination, but my eyes where certainly “playing tricks on me!” :). The disorientation (which caused waves of manageable nausea), plus the previous sensations (which where now even more intense), produced a noticeable body load that challenged the trip. Psychologically, there was a powerful, hazy, “solar” psychedelic effect that had many EXTREMELY insightful twists and turns. My head felt heavy (again, like alcohol). I sat for half an hour and looked at a yearbook from elementary school. That represented my past, and I analyzed how I evolved. Then I went and took a look at the personal website of a very special person to me (which had many pictures) – and that represented my present, where I had arrived. I saw all the ways in which this person was so special to me and how he changed (and continues to change) my life to the better.

By the time I was done this analysis, two hours had passed since I took the drug, and I felt like I was starting to comedown (already!). I then took a walk to reflect on all that insight. It only made things better, and I was extremely euphoric, especially now that the body load was mostly gone. By T+03:00 I was back home and approaching baseline, however I never really reached baseline for the rest of the day until I went to sleep. Interestingly, by the time I went to sleep there was no stimulation whatsoever (this lasted a few hours after the trip ended).

However, after many hours of sleep at night, I was suddenly startled awake with a burst of abnormal physical and mental stimulation. This lasted about 30 minutes and then faded away and I was able to sleep again. This was further indication that this material is not the gentlest on the nerves.

There was nothing to note the next day.

I found this material EXTREMELY helpful. I would endure the body load for the mental rewards that can be achieved here. Perhaps next time I will try an oral dose to see if there is any less body load? Perhaps a lower dose, too. Very interesting, very weird material. The only other time I was overwhelmed by a psychedelic (and that includes 110 mg insufflated DPT), was the time when I took 300 Morning Glory seeds. In fact, there is some similarity between the two, but only a little. I would be interested in experimenting with its 4-HO cousin and comparing, sometime in the future.

As a side note, I think this compound would most appropriately be named “Ethocetyl” in the same manner that 4-AcO-DiPT is known as “Iprocetyl.” It seems like many people refer to it in many different ways, including “Ethocin,” “Ethocybin,” and “Ethacetin.” I suppose this confusion originates from the erowid report on the degradation of 4-subsituted Tryptamines. The proposed nomenclature in this report is not consistent with the traditional “-cetyl” naming of 4-AcO-DiPT.
 
Nice report - I found this material to be very rewarding as well, especially as far as the mental effects go...

It was a sort of sizzling coolness in my nerves… a couple of months later (today) I was reading PiHKAL and the last entry for 4-TASB did not seem to be far away from what I felt. It was not a very bad feeling (pretty interesting, actually), but it got me concerned about the neurotoxicity of this drug

I don't think this feeling is a sign of any neurotoxicity - I mean whether this substance has any toxicity or not we don't know, but you can't tell by how it "feels". Personally this is one of the LAST substances I would guess has any toxicity... but of course that's only speculation.

My brother and I both agreed that this compound is VERY similiar to mushrooms, having both done them before. My brother said he couldn't tell the difference.
 
I'm glad that someone is sensitive to this stuff, cuz I sure as hell am not.

I took what, 38mg of the stuff, and it was pretty mild. But then again, I only have 4-AcO-MiPT and 4-HO-DiPT to compare it to.

The mental effects were pretty interesting, but this stuff has a minor toxic streak. Diarrhea! And bad!!

I had a headache on the come-down, a migraine, in fact, and I was extremely dehydrated.

It had some interesting visual content, but only with the eyes closed, was not euphoric with music, in fact it was dysphoric, but it was worth a try nonetheless.

Great report!

And such a low dose, lucky bastard!
 
but this stuff has a minor toxic streak. Diarrhea! And bad!!

Again, this isn't necessarily a sign of toxicity - magnesium can give you diarrhea, and it's not toxic. So can many other things.

Not surprised you weren't very sensitive to it - I'm definitely not either, next time I'm going to try about 50-55mg. I'm also pretty sure there's some tolerance issues, if you've used other tryptamines recently (like 4-aco-mipt), it definitely decreases the effects of this one.
 
I don't know if I'd want to try it again. It definitely yielded toxicity, and in a very bad way. :/

Besides, with AcO-MiPT and 2C-E around, I don't need anything else! I mean, I can still experiment, but I am pretty set in 2C-E and AcO-MiPT being my psychs of choice.

Aw, so I guess you don't wanna test out any of my new 5-Meo-AMT?

Fine! I'll just do it all myself! =D J/K...

Great report!! Keep them coming :)

This compound does seem a bit like mushrooms, although I must say mushrooms sound safer, smoother and I was always back to baseline after 4-5 hours no matter how much I took.
 
I love 4-aco-det. But there aren't many people on this board who would agree. I love it just because of the intensity.
 
Hmm... if you like the so-called intensity of 4-AcO-DET... try 4-AcO-MiPT on for size... mg for mg, I'd say the 4-AcO-MiPT is about 10mg more potent, and has a much more pleasant high.

i am also a massive fan of 2-CE - i have been considering ordering some AcO-MiPT but have been somewhat unconvinced but various trip reports- what for you makes it your psych of choice? to be honest i've been hunting hard for something that hits me the way 30mgs of the CE does but have had not luck- any respone would be appreciated-

peace - JT
 
Okay, well, 4-AcO-MiPT is really hard to describe. First off, it seems to have no body load whatsoever. I have taken up to 58mg of the stuff and I would *NEVER* ever EVER take any more than that! At 58mg, the body was fine, but the mind and the visuals were just... out there. I might even make a trip report for that one.

But some of the main effects that I love:
  • The euphoria

    Man, this drug seems to have a pretty blissful euphoria, similar to mushrooms, with smiles and giggles all around and a pretty comfortable body high.
  • Visuals

    Oh, the visuals! Only one substance has ever given me more intense visuals than this stuff (I took some pretty high doses, but still) and that drug was MDA... An example... With 58mg, I saw the entire world around me become a 2-dimensional matrix and I saw patterns all over the place as well. Really complex, not fractals, more like Indian mandalas... Totally blew my mind.
  • Mindfuck

    This is one of the few drugs that has ever given me a mindfuck... and an intense one it is... I could look at something, say a shoe, and my mind would connect it with something else, like a cat (this really did happen, I spent about 30 minutes petting a shoe, believing it was a cat, but visually, it was a really colorful and distorted shoe)... Quite cool
  • Duration

    This stuff lasts a good 4-6 hours for me. I've never had it last longer unless I redosed... That duration is just about perfect, not too short, not too long. Just right. :)
  • Intensity

    Just from reading the effects... well, you get the idea
  • Lack of a body load

    This is one of the only substances that never produced even the slightest bit of bodyload other than when I was stupid, went to a club and dropped a capsule of 2C-C and a capsule of 4-AcO-MiPT at the same time... talk about upset stomach and back pain... but that was a stupid idea. Other than that, not so much as any pain, upset stomach, headache, anything... and the next day, I felt ready to go again! (And quite often, I did, due to the fact that it never really built a tolerance. If it did, it was pretty negligible as I had a few occasions where the next day, I would take the same or a slightly lower dosage and be higher off my ass than I was the day/night before. ;))

Its good stuff. Well worth the price tag, everyone I've ever given it to (5 people) have loved it, 4 of them made it their new drug of choice. :)
 
And a quote from my trip report that involved 2C-I followed by 4-AcO-MiPT...

"After eating, the drug started to decrease its effects, waving in and out until about 12:00 or so, with nothing really significant inbetween. I hopped on the computer and started talking to my friend whom we will call M, and I find that he has just tried 30mg of 4-AcO-MiPT, a substance that I love and gave to him, and he is enjoying himself greatly. We start talking for awhile, and I decide that I'm going to take about 20mg of it myself. I eat my capsule, which the scale read as 16mg but I feel was more in the 20mg range, not expecting much, and not getting much.

He invites me to come over and takes 44mg of 2C-I himself. I convince grandma that I'm okay to drive, take a shower, make another 34mg capsule of 4-AcO-MiPT, and leave. I bring my scale with me, as there was some talk of possibly dosing up on something else later.

Driving is amusing, something was making me think that I was in a racecar, and as such, I was going about 70 MPH in a 40-45MPH zone, most of the way to his house. Surprisingly, my "po-dar" (police radar) was greatly enhanced and I could sense them whenever they were near and I would slow down to the speed limit, see them, pass them, and race off again. This happened twice, I believe, and I found it to be karmically reassuring.

About 5 minutes before I got to his house, I took my 4-AcO-MiPT capsule and called to let him know that I was there. I got there, breathed a sigh of relief having made it, and about 10 minutes later (15 minutes from taking the capsule), I was already feeling the 4-AcO-MiPT ramp up and my visuals took a strange turn. I started talking to him about how the visuals of 4-AcO-MiPT are so different from any other chemical, and how most chemicals have "stock" visuals, and this chemical doesn't. He agrees with me and I watch some of the most colorful, most loosely arranged, and most interesting patterns that I've ever seen for about 3 hours or so, upon which time, the AcO starts dying down and so does his 2C-I trip."

In retrospect, I'd say that that AcO capsule did a lot more than I thought it did... because that race car thing never would have happened with 2C-I alone... that's the kind of crap that 4-AcO does and always has done to me... mindfucked to the extreme and lovin it. :D
