A 40-year-old man with no prior mental illness was brought to an emergency room in a delusional, psychotic state after ingesting a liquid labeled 'Vanilla aroma' to enhance sexual pleasure. The substance contained 2C-T-4, a phenethylamine analog hallucinogen not detected by standard urine screening. He recovered with neuroleptic medication within 17 hours. This is the first reported clinical case of acute psychosis caused by 2C-T-4, which is not legally controlled in many countries including Japan and the USA, and is difficult to detect on routine drug screens.
