How to take 6-APB

Pills vs. Powder

6-APB mainly comes in 2 forms: powder and pill form.

Taking a pill is not recommended for 2 reasons:
1) The pills are notoriously cut with other drugs that are cheaper to produce (methamphetamine is a common substitute).
2) The amount of 6-APB in a pill can vary greatly.

Whichever form you choose, always test your substance with a Marquis Reagent Testing Kit. Be especially careful if the test turns orange or red.

If you take a pill form, start smaller than you would because you cannot know how much 6-APB is in there.

Administration

The substance is either snorted or taken orally. You could also inject 6-APB or plug it but these methods are not recommended.

Snorting 6-APB will lead to a faster onset but has multiple risks associated with it. This is why the best way to consume the drug is to swallow it.

6-APB Dosage

15 mg = Threshold dose
Surprisingly, this dose seems to have anti-therapeutic effects. This is because it is extremely hard to let go and dive into your traumas on such a low dose.
30-60 mg = Light dose
The high end of a low dose is likely the most effective dose for treating PTSD in therapeutic settings. This is because you are able to relax and face your traumas. However, taking less than that doesn’t have many long-term benefits.
60-90 mg = Regular dose
Counter-intuitively, higher doses aren’t more beneficial when it comes to 6-APB. Once you get over the regular dose, the trauma may become too overwhelming if you are using the substance to heal.
90-120 mg = Strong dose
Such strong doses shouldn’t be taken unless you’re using 6-APB for pure enjoyment.
120+ mg = High dose
If long-term well-being is your priority, never take high doses. The side effects definitely outweigh the benefits at this point.

The high end of a low dose seems to be the best dose to take if you are taking 6-APB for long-term benefits.

Unlike with LSD or magic mushrooms, there is no correlation between mystical experiences and therapeutic effects when it comes to 6-APB.

The benefits of a low-regular dose are as big as they can get while the negatives are multiple times smaller than if you were to take higher doses.

Strong doses are neurotoxic and will likely cause long-term damage to your neurotransmitter receptors. On top of that, high doses of 6-APB can be lethal.

With that said, people with autism or those who weigh a lot need a higher dose to achieve the same effects as other people.

The same can be said about people who have been taking entactogens in the past since it can take multiple months to become sensitive to the substance again.

Safety checklist

Maximize the benefits

Keep in mind that integration is even more important than the trip itself. Taking psychedelics would be almost useless if you didn’t retain any lessons in your day-to-day life.

What will help you the most is contemplating about the experience – be it by journaling, thinking about the trip, or sharing your memories with a trusted friend.

Distracting thoughts can get in the way, which is why you want to spend the day after your trip without TV, social media, and other distractions.

If you can, spend time in silence and solitude. Meditate, go for a walk, contemplate the experience.

Duration

Onset = 30-60 minutes
Come up = 1-2 hours
Peak = 3-4 hours
Offset = 2-3 hours

You should notice the first effects within 40 minutes after you take the psychedelic
You will reach the maximum effect around the 2-hour mark
The whole trip usually lasts for 7-10 hours
At heroic doses, your trip may last for even longer
If you eat before your trip, the substance will take longer to kick in
The trip can be followed by an afterglow or by a crash (come down). More on these later

What does 6-APB feel like?

6-APB’s effects are similar to those of MDA and MDMA. The main difference is that 6-APB is more sedative and entactogenic.

Users also say that 6-APB feels calmer and less chaotic.

After you take the drug, your brain releases dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, norepinephrine, and other “happy chemicals.” This is why the experience tends to be extremely pleasant.

On 6-APB, it is common to feel intense euphoria, love, compassion, connection with everything and everyone, and every other positive feeling you can imagine. You will feel like everything is perfect.

People become way more social and talkative on 6-APB. Because of this, the drug is a powerful tool for treating social anxiety and even autism.

The downside is that you may share some secrets with people around you that you will later regret. You may also end up in bed with a stranger who has an STD.

Users report that 6-APB is better than MDMA in high-intensity environments, such as parties and festivals.

For those who take 6-APB or other entactogens with the purpose of healing their trauma, the experience isn’t always pleasant. In fact, most therapy participants describe the experience as challenging.

6-APB can make you anxious but this mainly happens during a come-up. After that, the anxiety usually dissolves.

Other common short-term effects include:

Higher self-esteem
Tingling sensation
Increased creativity and open-mindedness
Mindfulness, being present
Higher capability for love and compassion
Pain relief
Feeling one with all that is
Seeing life from a different perspective
Appreciating small things
Higher energy
Increased awareness
Stamina enhancement
Feeling your emotions more intensely
Memory suppression
Time distortion (time speeds up)
Visual effects (especially during the offset)
No appetite
Shaking
Jaw clenching
Headaches
Muscle tension
Fatigue
Inability to focus
Nausea, vomiting
Increased body temperature
Increased heart rate
Worse thermoregulation
Difficulty urinating
Anxiety, paranoia
Vulnerability
Insomnia

The higher the dose you take, the more intense these effects will be.

After the trip, some users find it difficult to fall asleep.

6-APB will almost always give you a pleasant experience. Bad trips can happen but you can prevent them by following the tips below.

After the trip, there is a chance that you will experience an afterglow or a crash, also called a comedown.

6-APB Comedown

After the trip, your brain will be depleted of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. When this happens, you may have to suffer through a period of not having enough of these happy chemicals.

During the crash, people often feel extremely depressed and have no motivation to do anything. Many 6-APB users report having suicidal thoughts.

This period usually lasts a few days but can sometimes take weeks or even months.

How to prevent a comedown

Do not take 6-APB more than once a month
Take a low dose, don’t exceed a regular dose
Look inward during the trip instead of trying to maximize pleasure
Take 2-4g of piracetam an hour before the trip
Do not redose
Exercise
Eat high-quality food
Sleep enough and well, especially before and after the trip

In a psychotherapeutic setting, 6-APB crashes would only happen to 1/3 of participants and would be very mild. If you don’t follow these rules, the chance will be much higher and the crash will be longer and a lot more unpleasant.

How to cope with a comedown

Don’t try extra hard to be productive
Supplement with NAC
Take low doses of piracetam and 5-HTP
If nothing else helps, take kratom

Bad trips

Bad trips mostly happen because people take the substance irresponsibly. If you take this psychedelic the right way, there is virtually no chance you’ll get a bad trip.

In case you still do, that’s good! A “bad” trip isn’t bad, it can actually be the most healing and insightful moment of your life!

During a “bad” trip, negative emotions are coming up from your subconscious mind. They have always been there whether you are aware of it or not. They have been damaging your life and a difficult trip is an opportunity to process these traumas and unpleasant feelings and let go of them.

The more painful the experience, the more you can heal.

So instead of calling bad trips bad, call them challenging.

If you understand that bad trips are awesome in the long run, not only will you feel more comfortable diving into these challenging states, it will actually excite you!

Why they happen

The most common reasons for getting a bad trip are:

Tripping in an unsafe environment (in public, at a party, even nature doesn’t feel safe if you take higher doses)
Facing difficult times in your day-to-day life (a break-up, death of a loved one, …)
Rejecting to let go and trying to hold on to your ego and control the state
Being afraid of the trip (either because of the stigma around psychedelics or because you are not sure how pure your substance is)
Mixing the psychedelic with alcohol, weed, or other drugs
Expecting a bad trip (it can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy)

How to cope with a bad trip

Do not perceive this experience as something bad, remember that facing these difficult emotions is extremely healing
Fully surrender to the experience, do not try to feel good
If you’re alone, call a trusted friend to come over and keep you safe
Put on music or switch up the location

Legality

The drug is not scheduled in Canada and some European countries, where you can legally buy it from a reliable research chemical company for chemical research purposes.

In some of these countries, you cannot take the substance legally but whether or not anyone would care or find out is a different story.
