5-MeO-AMT has supposedly been sold as 4{{nbsp}}mg tablets by the street name Alpha-O and taken as a [[recreational drug]]. Since the [[Drug Enforcement Administration|DEA]] arrests of the [[William Leonard Pickard|makers]] of a huge percentage of the United States' [[Lysergic acid diethylamide|LSD]] in 2000, 5-MeO-AMT may have occasionally been sold under the guise of LSD in liquid, [[sugar cube]], or [[Blotting paper|blotter]] form, though this may be due to DEA reports of finding it on sugar cubes and blotters like LSD.<ref name="Zimmerman2003">{{Cite journal| vauthors = Zimmerman MM |title=The Identification of 5-Methoxy-alpha-methyltryptamine (5-MeO-AMT)|journal=Microgram Journal|publisher=[[Drug Enforcement Administration]] |date=January–June 2003 |volume=1 |url= https://www.justice.gov/dea/programs/forensicsci/microgram/journal071203/mj071203_pg1.html |access-date=2011-09-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110918044620/http://www.justice.gov/dea/programs/forensicsci/microgram/journal071203/mj071203_pg1.html|archive-date=2011-09-18|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/5meo_amt/5meo_amt_info2.shtml | work = Erowid Vault | title = Police Reports of 5-MeO-AMT }}</ref>

The most common route of administration for 5-MeO-AMT is orally. Anecdotal reports, however, have described snorting or smoking the substance. Intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) routes are rarely, if ever, used outside research settings due to the high potency, powerful effects and quicker onset.
