Summary sheet: 4-HO-MiPT

4-HO-MiPT (also known as miprocin, 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine, or hats) is an synthetic compound and a lesser-known psychedelic tryptamine. It is thought to be a serotonergic psychedelic, similar to 4-AcO-DMT, LSD and DMT. Its molecular structure and pharmacological effects resemble those of the tryptamine psilocin, which is the primary psychoactive chemical in magic mushrooms.

This substance is relatively uncommon and has only a short history of human use. It was presumably first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. Its synthesis is described in his book TiHKAL[1] along with reports by people who had ingested the compound. Shulgin's trials and other anecdotal information suggest that 4-HO-MiPT is similar in activity to psilocin.

Chemistry

General formula of a tryptamine molecule.

4-HO-MiPT or 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine is a synthetic indole alkaloid molecule of the tryptamine class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicylic indole heterocycle attached at R3 to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 4-HO-MiPT is substituted at R4 of its indole heterocycle with a hydroxyl (HO) functional group OH-. It also contains a methyl group and an isopropyl chain bound to the terminal amine RN of its tryptamine backbone (MiPT). 4-HO-MiPT is the N-substituted isopropyl homologue of 4-HO-DMT (Psilocin).[2]

Pharmacology

Main article: Serotonergic psychedelic

4-HO-MiPT's psychedelic effects are believed to come from its efficacy at the 5-HT2A receptor as a partial agonist. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.

Subjective effects

The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.

Physical effects

  • Sedation - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the tripper, 4-HO-MiPT is considered by most to be relaxing, stoning and mildly sedating. This sense of sedation is often accompanied by compulsive yawning.
  • Spontaneous tactile sensations - The "body high" of 4-HO-MiPT can be described as a pleasurable, warm, soft and all-encompassing tingling sensation. This maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.
  • Pupil dilation
  • Runny nose
  • Wakefulness
  • Watery eyes

Cognitive effects

The cognitive effects of 4-HO-MiPT are described by many as extremely relaxing, profound and stoning in style when compared to other commonly used psychedelics such as LSD or 2C-B which tend to be energetic and stimulating. It contains a large number of typical and unique psychedelic cognitive effects.

The most prominent of these typical effects generally include:

Visual effects

Enhancements

Distortions

Geometry

The visual geometry that is present throughout this trip can be described as more similar in appearance to that of Psilocin, ayahuasca and 2C-E than LSD or 2C-B. It can be comprehensively described through its variations as intricate in complexity, abstract in form, organic in style, structured in organization, brightly lit and multicoloured in scheme, glossy in shading, soft in edges, large in size, slow in speed, smooth in motion, rounded in corners, non-immersive in depth and consistent in intensity. The visuals have a very "natural" feel to them and at higher dosages are significantly more likely to result in states of level 8B visual geometry over level 8A.

Hallucinatory states

4-HO-MiPT and its various other forms produce a full range of high level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is more consistent and reproducible than that of many other commonly used psychedelics. These effects generally include:

Auditory effects

Multi-sensory effects

Toxicity and harm potential

Lolol.pngMain articles: Research chemicals § Toxicity and harm potential & Responsible use § Hallucinogens

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 4-HO-MiPT use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because 4-HO-MiPT is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people within the psychonaut community who have tried 4-HO-MiPT suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). Independent research should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption. It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this drug.

Tolerance and addiction potential

4-HO-MiPT is not habit-forming and the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. It is most often self-regulating.

Tolerance to the effects of 4-HO-MiPT are built almost immediately after ingestion. After that, it takes about 3 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 7 days to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 4-HO-MiPT presents cross-tolerance with all psychedelics, meaning that after the consumption of 4-HO-MiPT all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.

Legal issues

  • Sweden: 4-HO-MiPT is classified as a health hazard under the act Lagen om förbud mot vissa hälsofarliga varor (translated as the "Act on the Prohibition of Certain Goods Dangerous to Health") as of November 1, 2005, making it illegal to sell or possess.[3]
  • United Kingdom: The substance could be considered illegal in the UK under the Misuse of Drugs Act of 1971.
  • United States: 4-HO-MiPT is an unscheduled drug in the United States. However, it is an analog of psilocin, which could lead to prosecution under the Federal Analog Act.
