a-ethyltryptamine

[Opiyum]

I've been trying to find documentation on AET's apparent addiction interruption properties and can't seem to find anything other than a few trip reports. I'm more interested in finding out whether there are any trials going on anywhere to treat addiction in the way Ibogaine is.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or have any other knowledge on the subject?

from what shulgin writes....
the chemical has been stuffed into schedule 1...and to do any research on it takes a DEA license.

seeing as how no one was interested in putting up the funds to research 18 methoxy coronaridine, an ibogaine analog that shows little psychoactivity, and probably reduced physical risks compared to ibogaine, while still having some probably effect on opiate withdrawl/detox, I really wonder if the idea of a truly effective mode of drug treatment is what the companys and government really want?
I doubt it.
if a compound like ibogaine, highly psychoactive, with diverse effects related to dosage scale, and potentially dangerous physically at the dosage popular for treatment purposes and ritual initiation,.... can be changed into a compound like 18 methoxy, that takes away the psychedelic effect, or at least blunts it, and also makes the compound safer for its purposes, and literally no organization sees that as a plus and a positive that trials and research should move forth...then i doubt that any companies are going to do research in the USA, Australia or probably Europe for that matter with AET, a compound that has already been dumped because of physical problems related to daily regimines.

still, it sounds that for the short term, the compound has some merit for detox...shulgin lists mouth sores as a possible side effect, and that the compound seems to initiate a quick rise in tolerance.

it sounds like its a pretty cheap subtance to produce in bulk from tryptophan...so for the right person, a little chemistry project might be plausible for obtaining supply...

I dont think I have ever seen the compound offered as a research chem.
that is sort of suprising, considering the reports of it having an mdma like effect...obviously its schedule 1 status probably keeps it from being too popular in the USA/Europe...but I wonder why it hasnt shown up in countries where its not illegal yet?

it would be really interesting to know of any un approved use, or of use of the substance in countries where its not illegal.
I was quickly fascinated by this subject almost ten years ago when I read shulgins writing on the subject....but I have found little on the subject, and literally no anecdotal info that I remember.

Another drug that is similar to a-ethyltryptamine is N-ethyltryptamine. N-ethyltryptamine is found naturally in Loranthaceae( mistletoe ), although I have been unable to find out the exact percentage of it in the plant. Some people report between 2 and 12% of the plant contains this drug. Mistletoe also contains viscotoxins( complex protein molecules ) but they are most likely water insoluble and therefore NET should be easy to extract from mistletoe.

NET is said to have aphrodisiac properties along with its psychoactive properties. People who have tried it say the effects are similar to FOXXY( 5-methoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine, or 5-MEO-DIPT ). FOXXY is considered the new MDMA(Ecstasy) but it stimulates sexual arousal, unlike MDMA, which produces a huggy-kissy feeling and is difficult for men to get an erection and also makes it difficult for men and women to achieve orgasm.

So the old tradition of "kissing under the mistletoe" may now have a pharmacological truth to it.
