So you all probably know the difference between MDXX compounds and Bath Salts like 4-MMC and Methylone (Cathinone class stimulants)
But those arent the only compounds out there that are supposed to mimic the effects of MDXX compounds. Another class are the Benzofuran derivatives
As you can see they are structually very similar to MDXX but they are missing one oxygen.
They are the Furan
substituted Phenethylamines.
This is the furan molecule ^
MDXX compounds are Methylenedioxy substituted phenethylamines.
Methylenedioxy group^
6-APB also known as "Benzofury" was one of the first to be synthesised and used commonly.
It was initially discovered by David E. Nichols as an alternative to MDMA for medical treatment because MDMA is well known to be neurotoxic.
It is disputed wether 6-APB is safer than MDMA as it still shows the same effects and other forms of toxicity like cardiotoxicity because it affects the same receptors in pretty much the same way.
What is dangerous about those substances is that they are in many cases 90-150% as strong compared to MDMA. Which can make it easier to be overstimulated especially if there is combined use with other stimulants like caffeine and amphetamines.
Now you may ask whats the problem here? "I can just test my stuff with marquis and then i know!"
The problem is that compounds of the X-XAPBX class are so similar to MDXX compounds that they often react the same way with test reagents.
You cant tell if its MDMA or 6-APB with Marquis alone. And even multiple tests will not always give a satisfying result that you are indeed taking MDMA or MDA and not some X-XAPB because of different salts like succinates, HCL, fumarate or more. Even the slightest difference will change the hue enough that you can only tell them apart if you have a true MDXX sample to test on the side for a direct comparison
One very bad and unreliable way to tell X-XAPB is from the smell because of different precursors:
Because for MDXX safrol can be used there might be some impurites of it left which gives a different smell. But dont forget that MDMA and MDA can be made smell free too.
Now why is all this information important you may ask?
Its important because those drugs are RC that arent well understood and studied yet
They might show similar effects at near similar dose range but you dont know if one of those substitues might have some effect on your body that you will never recover from.
They are relatively rare but compounds like 6-APB is nowaday very common because of their "Legality" in some places in the world.
Im not saying that X-XAPB is as dangerous as cathinones or NBOMES. But you need to thread carefully if you want to be sure of what you take and want to evade the risk of a to strong dose and overstimlation or a dangerous unkown sideffect.
