Résumé : | 4-HO-MET (4-hydroxy-N-methyl-ethyltryptamine), also known as metocin, is a synthetic hallucinogenic psychedelic drug. It resembles psilocin, the hallucinogenic component found in "magic mushrooms". In many countries including Sweden, 4-HO-MET has not yet been classified as an illicit substance, and can be ordered on the internet as a so-called "legal high". We describe a case where an adolescent presenting with apathy and mutism was later diagnosed with a drug-induced acute psychosis after inhalation of 4-HO-MET. [Extract] |
