[Erowid Note: Note that some material sold as 6-MAPB in 2014 was actually 5-MAPB.] Since I've enjoyed all the other benzofurans that I've tried so far (5-apb, 6-apb, 5-apdb, 5-mapb at the time of this experience, 6-apdb a few months after). I bought a small sample of 6-MAPB when I first saw it available.

Since the original apbs are illegal in my country (half of 5 apb + half of 6 apb was my favorite) I decided to acquire some 5 mapb and a small sample of 6 mapb. This is my report of my first experiment with 6-mapb.
