Benzo Fury Addiction
What is Benzo Fury?
Benzo Fury, known chemically as 6-APB (6-(2-aminopropyl)benzofuran), is a synthetic psychoactive substance that emerged in the early 2010s. Originally marketed as a “legal high“, it became popular for its stimulant and entactogenic effects, similar to those of MDMA (ecstasy) and amphetamines. In fact, the chemical structure of Benzo Fury is designed to mimic MDMA specifically and targets serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine receptors in the brain.
The drug primarily appears as a white powder or in pressed pill form, further adding to the similarities of MDMA.
Users report a range of effects, including a heightened sense of well-being and happiness (euphoria), enhanced physical and mental energy levels, increased feelings of empathy and sociability and heightened sensory perception. These effects make it popular in social and party settings.
The effects of Benzo Fury typically begin within 30 to 60 minutes of ingestion and can last between 4 to 6 hours, with a gradual comedown over several hours. Some users report residual effects lasting up to 12 hours.
