It would only be appropriate, naturally, to include my personal experience with 6-APB powder. First and foremost, this has earned a high ranking upon my experiences with RC's at this point. My interest in the RC market nowadays has kind of trailed off, though this chemical definitely promised optimism for me.
Previous history of my drug experiences:
I would consider myself somewhat of a scholar in my drug experiences. My use consists of (but is not limited to) various traditional psychedelics/dissociatives/empathogens, including LSD, LSA, Psilocybin/Psilocin, N,N-DMT, MDMA, MDA, Ketamine, DXM, and Salvia, as well as a plethura of RC's, including 2c-B/I/E, bk-MDMA/MBDB, 4-AcO-DMT/MiPT, DOC, 4-FA, MDPV, Mephedrone, and now, 6-APB.
Description of the product:
The 6-APB studied was purchased from a trustworthy US domestic vendor, whom I have seen exercise absolute diligence in providing authentic products of high quality. The 6-APB received was a tan, grainy powder, which would slightly clump up in the bag when exposed to a moist, humid environment.
Experience with the product:
I withdrew from experimenting with this chemical the first couple of times I ordered it from my vendor. Many friends had told me about this chemical in the past, so I decided to order some to gather their trusted opinions of it. The response was very positive, enough so to peak my interest in re-investing in the product. I weighed 110mg of the substance, and placed it in a capsule, which SWIM orally consumed. This was at about 5PM. Upon ingestion, SWIM developed the traditional "eating a random chemical" anxiety. At about 5:30, the initial onset of the drug had become evident, and this anxiety was allieved. As the anxiety left, a sense of well-being started to develope. I felt a slight tightness in my chest for about 10 minutes or so, but it quickly transformed to a feeling of physical rejuvination. It was reminiscent of that feeling you get when you wake up in the morning and take a huge gulp of ice cold milk, except that feeling was moreso surging throughout my body. Almost as if an electricity was clotting, only to release, sending tingling vibrations to my extremities and the top of my head. By 6:00, I had reached what I would call the peak of the substance. Me and a friend were jamming around this time. I remember feeling incredibly tactile. Usually with psycedelics (excluding LSD), my mind is able to conjure up intriguing perceptions of music in general, but my overall physical execution of these ideas slightly lags. In this particular instance, however, my articulation of my mental concepts of music was almost mindblowing. I could play faster, with more vigor and pizzazz than I normally can. I felt like my fingers were bouncing along the frets with almost TOO much ease. Key/changes and transitions seemed elementary. Upon stopping playing music, I was able to fully analyze my state. I would say this was about 7:30PM. I couldn't stop grinning. I felt a very strong MDA-esque vibe. I was happy. Conversation was easy, and I felt like my opinions and overall words weren't outside of my true character. I usually have a strong distaste for strong stimulation in my psychedelic experiences. I felt quite speedy, but it was a VERY clean, enjoyable speed. My body felt relaxed, yet energized. After power-smoking a few doses of some JWH, the subtle visuals popped out. I noticed at that moment that they had been there the whole time, but I didn't think about it til I was in the stoned-zone. The visual distortions weren't like 2c-x chemicals or LSD. I didn't notice objects moving, swaying, breathing, or whatever. Instead, it was a very gentle, appealing patterning, with slight fractalization, very reminiscent of 4-AcO-DMT, or higher doses of MDA. Still smiling heavy, still very comfortable. I'm laughing at myself for having the temporary anxiety I had before the substance came on. At around 11:00pm, the effects of the drug had worn off. I had a comfortable after-glow stimulation, though by Midnight, I was laying in my bed dozing off with a full stomache.
Summary/Opinion of the Substance:
Overall, I was VERY impressed with this substance. It definitely had a strong MDA vibe to it, though it lacked that overwhelming empathy, touchy-feely, type feeling that MDMA has. A pleasant euphoria was most definitely appreciated and present. I personally am no longer a fan of MDMA after the binge days. This drug lacked a significant comedown, if it even had one. This will now be my replacement to 2c's for concert experiences, and for plain recreational use (besides 2c-B). I can see how this substance could be unenjoyable. I don't think I'd really take it by myself, just sitting around the house. This definitely makes me want to follow the music, talk to people, and feel connected to the world. Overall it has merits most RC's lack. Definitely will be studying this chemical again! 8.5/10
