5-APB and no effects

[Arcee]

So I have no trouble rolling on MDMA, or tripping on anything.

I have 5-apb, and have had three people take it, all of whom described themselves as "fucked up" after 150 mg.

I've tried twice, the first time with 75, then another 75 mg. The second time, nearly a week after I tried 500 mg.

I can't feel it. I can't get high at all.

I think perhaps 5-apb is primarily metabolized for effects. This should be fairly verifiable if it is inactive or low activity via insufflation or if it has different effects from insufflation. This would mean that I am deficient in whatever enzyme/s needed to metabolize.

If that's not the case, then perhaps I am uniquely capable of metabolizing quickly, which seems possible but less likely.

Alternatively, I could have weird brain chemistry. I think the first option is more likely.

Thoughts?

I've never had 5-apb specifically but for me snorting APBs doesn't work at all for me, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
I'm not sure if you're saying that's the only way you've been ingesting it or not.
I know you said you have no trouble rolling, but by chance have you perhaps been put on any kind of medication since?

I was on SSRIs for a while. I'm off of them and I was off of them when I tried 5-apb both times.

But seeing as I can roll on other things, and not 5-apb, it would serve to say my previous SSRI use is not the reason why.

I'm leaning towards 5-apb requiring metabolization to be effective. I only tried a 15 mg dose insufflated once and at the time the powder shot in the back of my throat so I decided to swallow.

Requiring metabolization would explain my lack of response as well as yours intranasally, and also the delayed time it takes for 5-apb to kick in for people.

I'm deficient in certain enzymes, such as lactase and another for processing garlick-y things. It's probably reasonable to believe that 5-apb simply goes unchanged in my particularly body.

A point should be your sweet spot
