Summary
5-DBFPV is a benzofuran analogue of MDPV and ฮฑ-PVP. Legally controlled in multiple jurisdictions including Sweden (Schedule I since January 2016) and UK (Class B under cathinone analogue provisions). Analytical papers show it is occasionally mis-sold as ฮฑ-PVP or MDPV. User reports highlight pronounced vasoconstriction, headaches during comedown, and powerful psychological reinforcement leading to compulsive use. Strong harm-reduction emphasis on milligram-accurate scales, strict session limits, and avoiding redosing patterns.
