5-MAPB (1-(benzofuran-5-yl)-N-methylpropan-2-amine) is an entactogenic designer drug which is a methamphetamine derivative structurally related to 5-APB and MDMA. It has similar effects to these drugs in humans and has been used as a recreational drug. 5-MAPB was temporarily banned in the UK in June 2013 after being detected being used as a street drug and sold online, along with 9 other related compounds.

General Effects Notes
The effects of 5-MAPB are usually compared to MDMA and other euphoric stimulants like 6-APB, MBDB, etc.
5-MAPB is less physically stimulating than MDMA, methamphetamine, 2-FA, 4-FA, and many other euphoric stimulants at equivalent levels of empathogenesis. Some users combine 5-MAPB with low doses of more epinephrine and dopamine agonist stimulants in order to "fill in" for the lack of wakefulness and stimulation that 5-MAPB provides. When taking 5-MAPB by itself, higher doses are often ingested than when combined with other drugs, in part because of this lack of stimulating effects when taken alone. When taken at oral doses over 150 mg, strong jaw tension and other physical side effects become evident and can become problematic.
