From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

4-HO-DPT (also known as 4-Hydroxy-N,N-dipropyltryptamine) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is a structural and functional analog of psilocin as well as the 4-hydroxy analog of DPT.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

4-HO-DPT, or 4-Hydroxy-N,N-dipropyltryptamine, belongs to the tryptamine class of compounds. Tryptamines are a group of compounds structurally derived from tryptamine, which consists of a double ring structure and a side chain. In the case of 4-HO-DPT, the side chain contains two propyl groups attached to the nitrogen (N) atom.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The pharmacological mechanisms of 4-HO-DPT are not well-studied. However, it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic tryptamines. This means it binds to and activates certain serotonin receptors in the brain, which leads to its psychedelic effects.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 4-HO-DPT can vary greatly depending on the dose, set, and setting. Some common effects reported by users include visual hallucinations, altered thinking processes, and a sense of euphoria. However, it can also cause negative effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and physical discomfort.

Legality[edit | edit source]

The legality of 4-HO-DPT varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess and use.

Safety[edit | edit source]

As with all psychedelic substances, the use of 4-HO-DPT carries risks. These can include psychological distress, physical discomfort, and in rare cases, dangerous reactions. It is recommended that users take precautions such as having a sober sitter present, starting with a low dose, and avoiding mixing with other substances.
