*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical sensations]]''' - The "body high" of 6-APDB can be described as a moderate to extreme euphoric tingling sensation that radiates throughout the entire body. It is capable of becoming overwhelmingly pleasurable at higher doses, and capable of immobilizing the user. This sensation maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' and '''[[Effect::Sedation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the user's physical energy levels, 6-APDB is commonly considered to have the paradoxical ability to both be stimulating as well as sedating and relaxing. Overall, it is thought to be far less energetic than [[MDMA]] or [[MDA]] and tends to exert more of a pronounced sedating stoning or couch-locking effect. Unlike MDMA, this does not particularly encourage activities such as running, climbing and dancing in a way that makes MDMA a popular choice for musical events such as festivals and raves. The particular style of stimulation which 6-APDB presents is far less forceful in a way that is more reminiscent of mescaline.

===Cognitive effects===
}}
The cognitive effects of 6-APDB can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The general head space of 6-APDB is described by many as one of moderate mental stimulation, feelings of love, openness or empathy, and powerful euphoria. It displays a large number of typical [[Psychedelics|psychedelic]], [[Entactogens|entactogenic]] and [[Stimulants|stimulant]] cognitive effects.
 
The most prominent of these cognitive effects generally include:


*'''[[Effect::Cognitive euphoria]]''' - Strong emotional euphoria and feelings of happiness are present within 6-APDB and are likely a direct result of serotonin and dopamine release.
{{effects/visual|
*'''[[Effect::Empathy, love, and sociability enhancement]]''' - This particular effect is generally more consistent, pronounced, powerful and therapeutic with 6-APDB than any other known substance. It is the most obvious and noticeable effect within any 6-APDB experience and dominates the head space. With time, repeated use, and improper spacing, however, this effect becomes severely diminished as the perspective it instills becomes fully imprinted, making it so users feel merely speedy and scattered with no new found urges to communicate or bond with others.
*'''[[Effect::Time distortion]]''' - Strong feelings of time compression are common within 6-APDB and alter the experience of time quite noticeably.
*'''[[Effect::Unity and interconnectedness]]''' - Experiences of unity, oneness and interconnectedness between level 2 - 3 are common within 6-APDB. This component most consistently manifests itself at high doses within large crowds at raves and musical  events in the form of "becoming one with the crowd."
*'''[[Effect::Anxiety suppression]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Compulsive redosing]]''' - Due to its potential euphoria-inducing effects, there is the potential for 6-APDB to encourage compulsive redosing, much like with MDMA or MDA. Yet due to the length of the experience, many find this less of an issue.
*'''[[Effect::Creativity enhancement]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Existential self-realization]]''' - Although this effect is present, it is not quite as pronounced or as consistent when compared to other [[hallucinogen]]s such as [[mescaline]], [[LSD]] or [[MXE]]. Due to the relative calmness and lack of chaotic energy that 6-APDB possesses relative to MDMA, however, this combined with its extended duration may make it a better therapeutic agent and can be thought of as lying closer to the spectrum of [[mescaline]] than [[MDMA]].
*'''[[Effect::Focus enhancement]]''' - This component is most effective at low to moderate doses as anything higher will usually impair concentration.
*'''[[Effect::Immersion enhancement]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Increased libido]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Increased music appreciation]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Mindfulness]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Motivation enhancement]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Thought acceleration]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Wakefulness]]''' - This component is present, but to a noticeably lesser degree than [[MDMA]]. Users often report being heavily sedated or "floored" compared to typical stimulants. 
 
===Visual effects===
Similar to MDMA, the visual effects of 6-APDB have an occurrence rating that is more selective and less consistent than any of the traditional [[psychedelic]]s. This is to the point where many people disregard [[psychedelic]] experiences within 6-APDB as a "myth" or "rumour", but this is simply because they have not experienced it for themselves. The effects can never be guaranteed to manifest themselves, but are more likely to occur with chemically pure, high dose 6-APDB experiences, towards the end of the experience and if the user has been smoking [[cannabis]]. They are also more likely to occur if the user has prior experience with [[psychedelic]]s, but also remain entirely possible within those who have never tried one them as well.

The effects which occur during the [[offset]] of a [[stimulant]] experience generally feel negative and uncomfortable in comparison to the effects which occurred during its [[peak]]. This is often referred to as a "comedown" and occurs because of [[neurotransmitter]] depletion. Its effects commonly include:
