4-AcO-DMT

Product Overview

4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, or 4-AcO-DMT, is a potent psychedelic known for producing strong alterations in perception. Chemically, it is closely related to psilocybin—the primary psychoactive compound found in magic mushrooms—and tends to create similar hallucinogenic experiences.

People who use 4-AcO-DMT often describe vivid changes in sight and sound, feelings of euphoria, a sense of interconnectedness, and moments of deep introspection. The nature and intensity of these effects depend heavily on the dose and on individual sensitivity, but many describe the experience as spiritual or transformative.

Although there is interest in its potential for helping with conditions like depression and anxiety, 4-AcO-DMT is classified as a controlled substance in many regions. Scientific research continues to explore its properties and its relationship to human consciousness.

As a synthetic tryptamine, 4-AcO-DMT is structurally similar to psilocybin and is known to produce comparable shifts in thought patterns, sensory perception, and overall awareness. Reports vary: some people find that it lasts slightly longer or shorter than psilocin, while others note reduced physical discomfort or nausea. Certain users describe its visual effects as being closer to those typically associated with DMT.

Historically, several psilocin esters—including 4-AcO-DMT—were patented in the 1960s by Sandoz researchers Albert Hofmann and Franz Troxler. Despite this, it saw limited use until more recently, when it began appearing in research-chemical discussions. Reactions to the compound vary widely, and individual experiences can differ significantly.
