It is a close synthetic analogue to [[MDA]] and shares the broad characteristic of serotonergic triple monoamine inhibitors and other [[entactogen]]ic or [[empathogen]]ic compounds. | ||

It did not find common use until over a decade later briefly entered the rave and underground clubbing scene in the UK before its sale and import were banned. Because 6-APB and other substituted benzofurans have not been explicitly outlawed in some countries, they are often technically legal, contributing to their popularity. | ||
