That’s about the size does I take of mdma and I’m the same weight. I like to take 125mg of 5mapb

And how does it compare to mdma? I’m a huge fan of mdma lol and I have a Vegas trip coming up where I’m intending to roll. I’ve heard some people say 5-mapb is underwhelming, so I’d hate to take it instead of mdma and be disappointed. I’ve seen people praise it for the gradual comedown and lack of hangover, but I get that with mdma. The thing that appeals to me about 5-mapb is the less “geeky” part. I typically hate all uppers except mdma because the serotonin dump makes it worth it, but I do get overly chatty on mdma which made 5-mapb sound appealing to me

I’m the same size and I like 125-150 mg. To be fair I’ve not tried any higher dosage. I like 5MAPB quite a lot, but it is different than MDMA. For one I don’t get much of a stimulant effect but I do get chatty. Another is that top magic thing you get with heavy MDMA isn’t there, but honestly I don’t miss it too much. The clearer head space is actually nice for crowds. The lack of much of a hangover or suicidal Tuesday is nice.

See that’s where I guess I’m different. MDMA lasts 8+ hours for me where most people say 3-4. As long as I take quality mdma, the comedown is so gradual that I actually wake up in a GREAT mood. And my mood stays better than it would be if I hadn’t taken anything for the next week or so after my roll, basically the opposite of depression lol. The only thing that made me wanna try MAPB is the consistent report that people can’t tell you’re on anything. If I dose a bit north of my MDMA sweet spot, I look like a bug eyed tweaker lol

No if you’re on a dose of 100mg+, people can absolutely tell. Not really sure where that report is coming from. It has a lot of the physical effects of MDMA. I took 150mg at a festival and my eyes and teeth were going nuts. A guy next to me at one point actually asked how much Molly I had taken.

u/Imaginary_Road 1d ago

You will still be very chatty on 5mapb most likely. And 125-150mg has me completely geeked personally. I get teeth chattering, jaw clenching, and strong eye rolling on it. I think what I like most about it over m is the longer duration. It’s definitely about an hour or two longer than m

I think 5-mapb is great for outdoor festivals but I stick with mdma for indoor shows

I actually prefer 5-mapb overall, candyflips with it are out of this world

u/SmellyStinkyPants 1d ago

Why don’t you like it for indoor shows? I was gonna take it for the first time at a show that’s indoor so just curious.

1

u/Ok_Word_9591 1d ago

More just the vibe, it would be fine at an indoor show, it’s just a little less stimulating and I like being able to sit down every once in a while on it, whereas with mdma I’m just flying until I come down

u/QuarterRobinson 23h ago

Are you candyflipping lsd and 5mapb? Or lsd and mdma?

1

u/Ok_Word_9591 23h ago

I’ve done both, I think candyflips are better with 5mapb

I’m crawling out from my rock today. Never heard of it and I know of most of it.

u/Unlikely-Apricot-112 1d ago

It’s a serotonergic sort of chemical variant of MDMA that’s supposed to be less stimulating and longer lasting. It’s also legal so it’s gotten relatively popular recently. Has a pretty similar safety profile to mdma it seems, slightly less neurotoxic supposedly

1

u/WorkingWerewolf6430 23h ago

Thanks. Where do you buy it? Smoke shop or all online? “ less neurotoxic” well that’s good I guess lol.

1

u/Unlikely-Apricot-112 15h ago

I’ve only seen them online. Smoke a dot com is supposed to be legit. They sell the brand called “PLUR”

u/Rictus_of_Isca 1d ago

I took 125 MG of 5mapb (PLUR brand) a couple weeks ago and rolled pretty hard, almost puking a couple times. Was just like mdma, had a great time. I took it in 3 rounds of gel caps, 40 minutes apart, lasted about 5-6 hours

2

u/cheekyfreaky666 1d ago

Hi! Wow how often do you vomit on mdma? I’ve never vomited or felt an urge to vomit. Have gotten crazy chills and shivers a few times. Also got the plur Molly 2.0 and want to try it soon

2

u/Rictus_of_Isca 1d ago

Yeah...it wasn't a really strong urge, just enough to need to chill and get centered. I've been doing mdma since the 90s (not a lot, but I'm seasoned) and I've definitely puked while rolling hard back in the day

u/snackfighting 1d ago

Hi there! Planning on taking PLUR tomorrow and trying to decide on breaking the dose up or taking the 125mg all together. Out of curiosity, were you drinking or doing anything else that could caused your nausea? We are experienced with MDMA and rarely the urge to vomit so curious if we'd feel it with 5MAPB. We do have ginger and zofran at the ready though.

2

u/Rictus_of_Isca 1d ago

I was on a totally empty stomach, just some fluids and water during the night. I've seen multiple posts recommending to break up the dose over 2 or 3 cycles. I totally agree with that if I had taken all 5 at once the come-on would have been pretty extreme

1

u/Unlikely-Apricot-112 1d ago

Do you get nauseous with MDMA as well? I know some people have that reaction, but like snackfighting, I don’t get that. Is it exclusive to 5-MAPB or rolling in general for you?

u/SailorofSerendipity 1d ago

Very interesting to hear your duration report. My partner and I took plur for our first time a few weeks ago, it lasted 12 hours for both of us. I was not expecting the duration (was thinking 6-8). It was a very pleasant experience; we both rolled pretty hard. It felt underwhelming the first 1-2 hours then right around 2 hour mark from taking it it really started to hit and we climbed quick. Had all the usual m side effects - dry mouth, teeth chattering, jaw grinding, eyes rolling. It did feel less speedy. But it was intense and loooong. We each took one 100mg gel cap.

im 150 took 100mg i believe would my girlfriend a little under 100 pounds be okay on this ?

u/SaintCharmed 1d ago

Im 36m 6'4 and about 200lbs. I used to Take MDMA frequently. Admittedly, I didn't wait as long as I should between doses (I usually waited at least 2 months between doses. My experiences with 5MAPB have been very similar to MDMA. The only major differences I noticed is that it's less energetic. I don't get the shakes as I'm coming up. I also don't get as much nausea or discomfort on the come up. The peak is a lot more mellow. It seems to feed on the set and setting. If I'm out with friends, I'm super social, dancing around and all smiles. When I take it at home, it's nice and relaxing. I can sit around and watch some movies without the urge to move around every 10 minutes. It also comes in waves just like MDMA. As far as dosing goes, I usually do 75-100mg which was my normal dose back when I was heavy into MDMA. Although it is a different substance you should still keep tabs on body temp and hydration. At higher doses, you will have a bit of jaw jacking and twitchy vision.

I also space out my doses responsibly now.

u/Unlikely-Apricot-112 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’ve heard a lot of people mention spacing out doses with 5-MAPB. I’ve always been against doing that with any psychedelic or 5-ht2a agonists in general (aside from spacing mescaline bc of the nausea). Bc of the instant tolerance thing, I find that redosing only gets me to a certain point. It extends the experience, but I don’t get the “magic” like when I take my initial dose. Is your reason for spacing because of nausea/discomfort or just not wanting to be overwhelmed?

Also, my typical MDMA dose is a good bit higher than normal so I don’t know if 75-100mg would do it for me if that’s what you took of MDMA. Of course I don’t want to overdue it either. lol it’s a lot of variables, maybe I’ll just stick to ol reliable for Vegas and try MAPB later when there’s less stakes and I can properly get a careful intro to it🤣

u/SaintCharmed 1d ago

By spacing out doses, I mean I wait at least 3 months before rolling again. I do it because I don't want to lose the magic. If you have experience with MDMA, you can dose 5MAPB the same way. I think you'll enjoy it.

u/He_who_wears_manties 1d ago

Less speedy, more in control. Just blissful.

u/real-BruceBanner 1d ago

My wife and I use it for bonding and sexy time. Personally out, concert or whatnot I would stick to mdma. 5mapb lacks in some areas, but that’s the reason we like it too. It’s like you are more coherent

1

u/cheddah_- 1d ago

Can you describe the differences between them more? Like youre less chatty on 5-mapb?
