Background I had dinner with A' who I have known for a little over a month and we decided after dinner that we were going to hit up San Francisco and check out this club that was going to be spinning alot of Dance music this particular evening. On the way we stopped by this beautiful scenic spot that overlooks the San Francisco Bay which got my adrenaline going a bit and excited for the night. We got to the club a bit early and they were not opening doors for about another half hour so we headed to a coffee shop that was connected to a laundry mat and I dosed my 6apb here. I offered A' some as well but she was driving and I let her know the duration so she decided to pass but interestingly enough she went to the bathroom after me and came back wiping her nose which was slightly blotchy, so I don't know if she had her own goodies or what. We checked out the coffee shop for a bit to kill time and there was some decent music being played by an acoustic and electric guitarists. Trip I got some initial alerts at the coffee shop, a general sense of things seeming off about 20 mins in and we left shortly thereafter to go back to the club. Walking on the streets I started to feel the effects more, there was this shiny metallic fence alongside the street with extremely intricate designs cut out of it and I got a really cool wave of psychedelia as the designs seem to sparkle and shift for moments at a time, I had to stop for a minute and check it out as the gloss it was giving off was entrancing. When we got back to the club a short line had formed, anxiety started to creep in slightly but I was able to maintain to get through the doors and once in the club I was surprisingly greeted by a very distinct rave atmosphere. The luminscent glow of the lights, glass pieces being sold and the overall ambiance on this multiple floor venue suggested rave. A' remarked how cool the venue looked and everything but I was still feeling anxious with the comeup. The comeup for 6apb seems to get progressively more difficult for me the more familiar I become with it. Basing my experience on other psychedelic/empathogen/stimulant drugs, I'd speculate the pharmalogical comeup of 6apb seems to have a stronger activity at the 5ht2a receptor than MDMA and also has a dopamine component before the serotonin releasing effects kick in. So the comeup of 6apb I'd almost characterize like a cross between a low dose of acid and a low dose of speed, it's certainly not my favorite aspect of the trip. A' and I sat in a lounge section for a bit before she suggested that I should dance, as soon I stood up and moved I got a strong sense of relief from the anxiety that I had been feeling up until this point. The DJ was spinning some dubstep and I did some slowly liquid type dancing to the beat, feeling the beat and the timing and channeling the sounds through my body. A' seemed a little surprised about the way I dance, so shortly thereafter we went down to the bar she got herself a drink and we hit the dance floor. A' has some really good dance skills and it was cool feeling each other out for a bit before we got closer. I was getting strong rushes at this point and probably one of the more outrageous dancers as people were still filing into the venue. There was mostly dubstep/hip hop type music being played early in the night on multiple stages. After awhile A' and I went back up to the lounge type stage and we had like our little corner where I asked her for a massage, the massage was amazing my eyes fluttered to each deep brush of her fingers prompting me to dissolve into her touch and resonate with the music, I had to put both of my elbows up on her legs to keep myself from falling over at some points. I returned the massage after a bit and then we headed back onto the dancefloor. This time we wilded out a bit more and were grinding on each other and dancing a bit more freakishly, I'm not much of a dubstep fan but I still enjoyed myself. Somewhere after midnight the musical highlight of the evening came for me, I was well onto riding my 6apb roll by now and than one of the stages started playing some Jungle/Drum n bass. The frenetic yet relaxed vibe of jungle music let me express myself better in my dancing compared to dubstep, I think A' may have picked up on why I dance the way I do a bit more. The dj had a saxophone player and female vocalist up on stage with him and the sounds were so incredibly soulful I was caught up in a trance on the dancefloor and I was in my zone for a bit. After awhile I embraced A' in my arms and our lips met, than tounges and I was floating outside of the club to a blissful dimension where I felt this graceful connection with A' and my breathing seem to come to a standstill. I got the impression that there were several people around sort of embracing the glow A' and I gave off when I looked up from her lips and eyes. There was a fairly strong erotic component with 6apb and I got jolts of energy off connecting with A'. A drum n bass dj followed the jungle dj and that was more in your face up tempo music that I thoroughly enjoyed and I needed multiple stops to buy water at this point. Mild psychedelia continued as well, somewhat difficult to describe but the lights were really glowly like MDMA and then there was another component where hues of colors were shifting that reminded me of mescaline slightly. We left as that drum n bass dj finished up and walking on the streets, street lights seemed to be doubling and trippling all around around, there was a part of the walkway being worked on which gave off a tunneling sensation as we walked through it and like it never ended eventhough it was maybe a 10 ft walkway. A' and I walked hand in hand through the streets and enjoyed the ambiance of the beautiful city quieting in the late night hours. The effects faded as we headed back from the city but we hung out awhile longer and enjoyed each others company. This was really the first time I got to experience 6apb's entactogenic effects and it exceeded my expectations, that comeup is rough but 6apb is definitely higher on my list of favorite psychedelic empathogens now.
I find that attractive women and EDM make for an epicly entrancing evening. And thanks for the TR I've had a mild interest in 6APB for some time now.
