Ok, so from what I'm reading this stuff is Euphoric as shit, but not the "Oxytocin releaser" that MDMA is... But how does it compare to 6-APB? Is it better than 6-APB in terms of "feeling like ecstasy"???
MDMA's euphoria is not to be blamed on the oxytocin release. It's a triple releaser for Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine in a similar manner to drugs like Methamphetamine, Amphetamine, 4-FA etc. It's these that are responsible for the majority of effects you experience, and probably the dopamine that's behind most of the euphoria (given that compounds like MDAI that act purely as serotonin releasers are generally more "comfortable" than "euphoric" and that pure dopamine releasers are still euphoric). The serotonin adds touch enhancement and empathy and its theorised that some of the loving "magic" of MDMA comes from 5HT1A agonism resulting in oxytocin release on top of that - but it's certainly not the main component of the high or anywhere close, otherwise we'd just be taking pure 5HT1A agonists to roll
Just thought I'd clear that up.
Anyway there's no comparison to be made between the two substances. They are nothing alike in any way really. There's no comparison to be made between MXE and MDMA either, completely different substances that aren't even remotely alike.
The only similarities between MXE and MDMA/6-APB really in my experience are that MXE is stimulating and can make touch feel better (until a certain dose where you just become completely numb). If you want to compare MXE with something, compare it with Ketamine, DXM, PCP and other dissociatives.
Personally for me MXE is euphoric but not to a large extent and at many points its more of a small mood lift than euphoria. The real reason I enjoy it is because of the unique state it produces, not because of any sort of high or rush.
Hope this helps answer your question a bit more thoroughly.
If you want to discuss 2-MeO-Ketamine do so in the
2-MeO-Ketamine Thread - seems you've already asked and been answered there.
