Within the body a percentage may be partially hydrolized into the free phenol4-HO-DET. Human studies concerning the metabolic fate of this drug are lacking.
4-Acetoxy-DET is orally active, and dosages of 10-25 mg are common. Effects last 4-6 hours.2 The free base is also active when smoked in a dose range of 5-20 mg.1 Smoking 4-acetoxy-DET greatly speeds up the onset; peak effects are experienced within 10 minutes, and are usually over within 1 hour.specify
Legality
4-Acetoxy-DET is unscheduled in the United States, but possession and sales of 4-Acetoxy-DET could be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act because of its structural similarities to DET.
