Summary
6-(2-Aminopropyl)benzofuran (commonly known as 6-APB) is a novel entactogen of the benzofuran class and the 6-positional isomer of 5-APB. It produces MDMA-like entactogenic, stimulating, and mildly psychedelic effects with a notably long duration (often 7-10 hours oral). Widely sold in the UK head-shop era as "Benzo Fury" (~2010-2013) before being placed under a Temporary Class Drug Order and later banned. It is distinct from 5-APB in receptor profile and dosing, and is associated with prolonged comedowns and cardiovascular strain at higher doses.
Perspectives
“The moniker "Benzo-Fury" that this drug sometimes bears is very deceptive (though the name is taken from its chemical structure). It is an overall mild empathogen, not as intensely stimulating or explosively euphoric as MDMA. Rather, it is a light psychedelic hypomania with a few subtle hallucinatory effects.”
“It is not a chemical to make a habit of.”

Acute tolerance: develops within a single session โ the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
Withinโsession tolerance is common and encourages redosing; spacing sessions by several weeks reduces cumulative serotonergic and potential 5โHT2Bโmediated risks.

I showed up at a Burner party and they were telling me about a wonderful Molly-like drug, 6APB. They told me its effects were very much like molly. I hadn't planned on rolling that night, but what the heck, it'd be a lot more fun than just drinking. Besides, I space out my rolls over many months. I consumed a capsule.
Iยve experienced cannabis, salvia, datura, morning glory seeds, lsd, mdma, speed, mephedrone, butylone, M1, MDPV, 5-meo-dalt, nutmeg, some benzos, and other things I canยt recall just now. 6-APB introduced me to the potential of manmade psychedelics, Iยve never tried any 2cยs, so itยs hard to compare.
150mg+50mg 6-APB (succinate salt) - Orally, empty stomach Experience two (also used through parts of this report) - 200mg orally I had visited 6-APB early on in my days as a researcher, and felt as though it was a fascinating compound.
The 6-APB Logs: A Chronicle of Experimentation This report is designed to act as a summary of six separate experience reports. Each of the underlying reports is unique and fits into an archetype of trip reporting [i.e. The first time, mini-dosing, performance enhancement goal, heavy dosage, etc.].
Learnfull Experience This is my first time Iยm writing a trip report. Iยm very glad I wrote some stuff down on my telephone with time marks, because it was an interesting trip. It started with that I was hanging out with friends, having a beer. We were planning on going out in the city.
First of all I would like to point out that the experimentation with these chemical compounds were done knowing all the risks it involved, including what happened later.
Experience: Everything except crystal meth and crack (bad anxiety disorder, stimulants bug me out) also fyi never injected anything. I havent rolled or taken mdma in about 8 years since highschool after a bad experience where it was wayy too speedy for me.

Got them through the post today, decided I couldn't wait to try this batch, having loved the first batch. Impatience when it comes to drugs will be the downfall of me. I work in an office full of clueless people, who have no Idea that I occasionally take recreational drugs during work hours.
Age: 31 Gender: male Background: veteran opiate, benzo, euphoric stims user, mostly IV, but recently kicked the habit and can manage fine without needles. This is just a dump of my experience with the APB RC's.
Hi i took about 4 of these green pellets over the course of 24hrs, too many I know but I found them quite dissapointing and was looking for that amzing high I have read about in so many other reports. Im a 6ft, healthy 15 stone male, work out regulary.
This is very long and detailed stream of consciousness in all of its guts and glory, an epic tale of a man and a chemical. Throughout the story (and it is a story) I bring up random issues such as how I have benefited from using entactogens, a little about myself, and some of the questions and perspectives that have he...
I received 2 pellets of Batch 7 from a known source. The best batches so far have been 1 and 2 which they never managed to reproduce until now. The last time I had something as good as this was 5 months ago, which was my left over Batch 2 pellets.
