4-HO-MET, also known as 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine or as metocin, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family related to psilocin. It is a close structural and functional analogue of psilocin (4-HO-DMT) and is the 4-hydroxyl analogue of methylethyltryptamine (MET). The drug has been encountered as a novel recreational and designer drug.
