About 4-AcO-DMT
4-AcO-DMT is a synthetic tryptamine that the body converts to psilocin, the active compound in psilocybin mushrooms. It is not part of standard employment panels.
Because it metabolises to psilocin, specialised testing that targets psilocin may detect it; routine panels will not.
Detection windows for tryptamines are short, typically under a day in urine.
