4 -HO-DMT
What is 4-HO-DMT?
-
The full name: 4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine
-
It’s the active psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms — also called psilocin.
-
When you eat mushrooms, your body converts psilocybin into 4-HO-DMT — so taking 4-HO-DMT directly just skips the conversion step.
-
It’s a synthetic or isolated version of the compound, usually a fine powder.
At 10 mg, this is roughly equal to eating 2–2.5 grams of dried Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, but cleaner and more predictable.
Why would you take 4-HO-DMT instead of mushrooms?
Clear Capsule: 120mg standard journey dose Blue Capsule (Booster) 60-70mg
-
Precision: You know exactly how many milligrams you’re taking.
-
Cleaner: No plant material to digest, less nausea & body load.
-
Shorter: A little faster, sharper onset and shorter total trip (4–6 hours instead of 6–8).
How do you use it?
Form:
-
Typically a fine powder or crystal, often the fumarate or HCl salt.
-
Weigh it with a milligram scale accurate to 0.001g — do not eyeball.
Route:
-
Orally (capsule or mixed in water): most common, and best for 10 mg.
-
Intranasal or sublingual is possible but harsher, unnecessary at this dose.
-
Smoking or injecting is not recommended.
Preparation:
-
Find a calm, safe environment (indoors, soft lighting, cozy space).
-
Fast lightly beforehand — don’t eat a heavy meal within ~2 hours.
-
Have water, a blanket, and maybe some calming music on hand.
-
Turn off your phone or set it to Do Not Disturb.
-
Optional: a sober sitter if it’s your first time.
What happens at 10 mg?
-
Onset: ~20–40 minutes — body feels light or heavy, visual textures emerge.
-
Peak: ~1–2.5 hours — flowing visuals, emotional openness, creative or spiritual insights.
-
Duration: ~4–5 hours of noticeable effects, fading by ~6 hours.
-
Body: Light & clean for most people, maybe a little jittery at the start.
-
Mind: Expansive, reflective, can feel euphoric, introspective, or a little confusing at peak.
Tips:
-
Don’t mix with alcohol or stimulants.
-
Stay hydrated but don’t overdo it.
-
If you feel overwhelmed, lie down, breathe slowly, and remind yourself it will pass.
-
If nausea occurs (rare at this dose), ginger tea or lying still helps.
