5-MeO-MET (5-Methoxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine) is a relatively rare designer drug from the substituted tryptamine family, related to compounds such as N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine and 5-MeO-DMT. [1] [2] [3] It was first synthesised in the 1960s and was studied to a limited extent, [4] [5] but was first identified on the illicit market in June 2012 in Sweden. [6] It was made illegal in Norway in 2013, [7] and is controlled under analogue provisions in numerous other jurisdictions.
