MBDB
Basics
DESCRIPTION #
MBDB is a synthetic phenethylamine similar in structure and action to MDMA (Ecstasy). It is an entactogen, with the ability to facilitate a state of introspection, interpersonal communication and a pronounced sense of empathy and compassion.
MBDB has a slower and more gentle onset of action than MDMA, produces less euphoria, less psychedelic effects, and has less stimulant properties. Many people find MBDB less fun than MDMA because of its more subtle nature and lack of strong rush. MBDB is extremely uncommon, but has occasionally been found in "ecstasy" tablets in Europe.
