'''4-HO-MET''', or '''4-[[hydroxy]]-N-[[methyl]]-N-[[ethyl]][[tryptamine]]''', is a lesser-known [[Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants|psychedelic drug]].  It is the 4-[[hydroxyl]] [[analog (chemistry) | analog]] of [[Methylethyltryptamine|MET]]. 4-HO-MET was first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]]. In his book ''[[TiHKAL]]'' (''Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved''), the minimum dosage is listed as 10-20 [[Milligram|mg]], and the duration listed as 4-6 [[hours]]. 4-HO-MET produces [[psilocin]]-like distortion of color, sound, and form.  These effects occurs in a wavelike pattern such as that of [[2C-B]]. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-HO-MET.
