5-MeO-DET, also known as 5-methoxy-N,N-diethyltryptamine is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family related to 5-MeO-DMT.[1] It is taken orally.[1]

Use and effects

Low doses (0.5–1 mg) are reported to produce a relaxing body high and mild entheogenic effects.[1] Shulgin reports in TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved) that higher doses (1–3 mg) can produce very unpleasant reactions.[1] One user referred to it as a "torture psychedelic".[1] The prominent adverse effects of 5-MeO-DET even at low doses prevent it from being taken at fully hallucinogenic doses.[1] Its duration is said to be 3 to 4 hours.[1]

Interactions

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

5-MeO-DET inhibits serotonin reuptake with an IC50Tooltip half-maximal inhibitory concentration value of 2,400 nM and activates the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor with an EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration value of 8.1 nM.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The drug fully substitutes for DOM in rodent drug discrimination tests.[9] It also substitutes for 5-MeO-DMT in rodent drug discrimination tests.[10]
