I've heard that it can be a bit more sedating than MDMA. Doesn't sound at all like you experienced that effect though.
Is the fumarate batch going around these days any good? I have access to excellent quality MDMA so I'm hesitant to get an RC that will be "as good"/"almost as good". The increased cardiotoxicity caused by 5HT2B agonism doesn't help its case either.
I didn't use 6-APB at a rave, but it seems like my ideal rave drug based on my experience.
Na honestly I’ve never quite understood why people called it sedating. Maybe if at home on the couch watching a movie yea, doesn’t have the same jaw gurning intensity but certainly still stimulates me.
I also love how on 5-MAPB I’m so smooth compared to MDMA. If I was single I’d have no problem finding someone while on it. Even as it comes down I find myself locked into that state of “relaxed with myself” for a long time.
I unfortunately don’t have any idea on the current state of 5-MAPB as the good batch I bought in 2014 and my most recent which I’m still testing a bit (but seems nearly as good so far) was 2020.
I’ll say this, the drug is VERY worth seeking out. Even with the risk of shitty batches, when you get the good stuff it’s beautiful.
I’ve watched amazing things happen cuz of this drug, major therapeutic breakthroughs not capable with MDMA alone, complete lifestyle changes overnight (for the better), etc.
I should warn though it isn’t to be played with, as you said the increased cardiotoxicity from 5-ht2b. My first few experiences were just 5-MAPB (90 and 80mg respectively) and I noticed strange heart issues in the week or so after each one plus some decent depression that hit like days 7-12 after the roll.
I now use it only as an adjunct to MDMA and havent had an inkling of heart issues since. Plus they each cover the others weak spots, MDMA adds the intense peak while 5-MAPB some additional love, steadiness and duration.
