6-APB

6-APB was released earlier this year amidst various setbacks and controversies. No toxicology data is available for this compound as it has no history of human use, although it is thought to be a potent releaser of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. Anecdotal reports have cited the effects as bruxism, nystagmus, euphoria, stimulation, empathy and nausea (The Tester is sure there are more, but these are the most common).


The Tester would suggest taking special care when experimenting with anything sold as 6-APB as there have been many reported cases where adulterated (or completely unidentified) substances have been consumed at the cost of the researchers involved. Reportedly, 6-APB should give a dark blue/purple reaction when tested with Marquis reagent, and The Tester strongly advises this course of action.

Sample 1
Supplier: Chemical Dog
Amount Tested: 0.1g
Stated contents: 6-APB
Marquis test result: No colour change, intense fizzing
R.O.A: Insufflation/Oral
Other notes: The Tester decided to proceed with this experiment in spite of the Marquis test result, which seemed inconsistent with the proper reaction for 6-APB. It is not advised that anyone else do so for any reason. No reaction to allergy test.

Report:


Initially, a very small amount (10mg?) is insufflated. The Tester notes unusually intense pain upon insufflation and vows solemnly never to repeat this mistake. There is a noted stimulation, but no other apparent effects. The Tester decides to wait until completely back to baseline before proceeding, because of the unknown nature and effects that are possible.

After an hour, 80mg is dissolved in orange juice (which masks any taste) and the solution is swallowed quickly.


Some time around an hour later, The Tester notices their pupils have become extremely dilated. This proves to be the first in a series of progreesively more intense side effects until The Tester comes to the realisation that they are fully under the control of this compound. Extreme stimulation (although predominantly mental stimulation) accompanied by euphoria, a profound level of focus and some minor visual distortion in the form of gentle undulation at the peripheral areas of vision are all noted. Tactile sensations are enhanced, and The Tester finds the (potentially percieved) fluctuations in body temperature to be very pleasant. This continues, unhindered, for the next four hours.

At about five hours from the initial dose, stimulation begins to subside, but visual distortions increase slightly for roughly the next hour. From this point onwards, The Tester feels themselves eased back into sobriety with no noteable "crash" or urge to redose. Sleep is attained by The Tester that night, but they do mention that they wouldn't have liked to try and sleep within 7 hours of dosing with this compound.

All in all, The Tester had a very enjoyable experience, but is still unsure of the veracity of the claims that this was in fact 6-APB.

Sample 2
Supplier: Top Research Chemicals
Amount Tested: 0.1g
Stated contents: 6-APB
Marquis test result: No colour change, intense fizzing
R.O.A:Oral
Other notes: The Tester decided to proceed with this experiment in spite of the Marquis test result, which seemed inconsistent with the proper reaction for 6-APB. It is not advised that anyone else do so for any reason. No reaction to allergy test.

Report:

The Tester has decided not to write a full second report, as the effects and duration were (for all intents and purposes) identical to the ones described in the report above. It appears there is some consistency present here, but again The Tester is unsure of exactly what this substance is because of the reaction with Marquis.


Sample 3
Supplier: Rave Gardener

Amount Tested: One pellet.
Stated contents: 6-APB
Marquis test result: Immediate change to deep purple
R.O.A:Oral
Other notes: This time the Marquis reaction is much more encouraging. Anecdotal reports suggest that this is the correct reaction for 6-APB. The Tester notes a smell similar to that of TCP.

Report:
On an empty stomach, The Tester injests the small brown pellet with a glass of water and proceeds to complete some household chores. Some time around the one hour mark, The Tester gets the urge to evacuate their bowels and when they go to do so they notice pupil dilation when looking in the mirror. The Tester assumes this is the beginning of the pellet's effects and decides to sit down and play some music.

Roughly thirty minutes later, and a rising euphoria is experienced, which in time becomes intense and unmistakeable. Music appreciation is greatly enhanced, as are tactile senses, and The Tester feels both stimulated and slightly unsteady on their feet. It is noted that dancing is very enjoyable.

These 'peak' effects last for somewhere between three and four hours, and afterwards the experience tapers very gradually back into a relatively sober (but still pleasant) state. At this stage The Tester notes some slight warping at the edges of their vision, but nothing too disorientating or alarming. It should be noted that during the experience The Tester didn't feel the desire to eat anything at all, and found it difficult to urinate on command even though they had consumed a relatively large amount of fluid.

All in all this was, by far, the most positive experience with 6-APB that The Tester has had thus far.
