MICRODOSING 4-ACO-DMT

4-AcO-DMT is a synthetic psychedelic tryptamine with close structural similarities to the “magic mushroom” molecules psilocybin and psilocin.

It was developed by the inventor of LSD, Albert Hofmann—along with Franz Troxler—for Sandoz Ltd., the company that patented the drug in 1963 (incidentally the same year their LSD patents expired).

Of the many “grey market” research chemicals out there, 4-AcO-DMT is probably among the safest. At macrodoses, its effects are comparable – although in some ways rather different – to those of psilocybin or psilocin.

Most users report a full range of psychedelic visual effects, from color enhancement to vivid hallucinations, along with euphoria, ego loss, and mystical or religious experiences.

How to microdose with 4-AcO-DMT

Usually sold in powder form, 4-AcO-DMT can be taken orally or intranasally, among other methods. But for microdosing, oral administration seems to be the most obvious choice—if only for ease and simplicity. Be warned, though: it tastes pretty foul.

When measuring out doses, keep in mind that just a few milligrams can lead to profoundly different effects. Going off of anecdotal reports, effective microdoses range between 0.5 mg and 5 mg, though 5 mg may be too much for most people—that much could produce a noticeable come-up, difficulty focusing, and scattered thoughts in general.

1 mg is a good place to start, knowing that it may be adjusted up or down as required on subsequent occasions.

But since most affordable scales (such as the Gemini-20) are incapable of accurately weighing such tiny amounts, volumetric microdosing is probably your best bet.

It’s also worth noting that the precise concentration of your 4-AcO-DMT powder will depend on whether it’s in the form of a fumarate or hydrochloride (HCl) salt.

Every 1.24 mg fumarate, for example, is expected to contain 1 mg 4-AcO-DMT, while the equivalent amount in HCl would be 1.15 mg for 1 mg 4-AcO-DMT.

What schedule should I follow?

As with dosage, timing should be a matter of preference and one’s individual response. Experts in this area suggest different microdosing regimens, but our microdosing course follows James Fadiman’s system.

Fadiman recommends taking a microdose once every three days: Take a microdose on Day 1. Then, do not take a microdose on Day 2 or Day 3. On Day 4, take another microdose.

Continue this process for several weeks.

For most people, morning is the best time because the beneficial effects will last throughout the day without interfering with sleep.

It’s also helpful to take daily notes in a journal to observe the effects throughout this process and adjust accordingly—or just notice the positive changes.

It’s also important to follow your usual routine while microdosing. The purpose is to enhance your day-to-day existence by integrating microdoses into your routine, so don’t change what you normally do.

However, when you try microdosing for the first time, take a day off from work and social commitments. This will give you a chance to notice any unusual effects before microdosing in a more public situation.

Potential Benefits

The immediate effects of microdosing 4-AcO-DMT should last no more than six hours, but some experience secondary benefits for a couple of days after. It’s to experience increased sociability as well as a gentle stimulant effect— although some find it more sedating, suggesting that it may not be ideal for productivity. One user preferred to take 1.5-2.5 mg before sleep (with 1 mg melatonin) with the intention of feeling after-effects the next day
