MDMA substitutes

What substances feel like MDMA does? I have heard 2-cb has some similar effects, and I know there are other RCs out there that I don't know the names of that also have a rolling type of effect.
Any suggestions on something I could take while in between MDMA rolls? I wait at least a month, and would like something to do in the middle of that break, so something that doesn't stress the same system as MDMA would be great.

6-APB is definitely worth trying. For me, it was pretty underwhelming at 100 mgs and 150 mgs, but I recently tried ~185 mgs and it was fantastic! It's not mdma, but it's incredible (at the right dose) in it's own respect. For me, it's a way more psychedelic head space, with some interesting, but subtle visuals. I did experience a few minutes of anxiety at one point, which for me is impossible (or nearly impossible) with mdma, but this likely was related to my setting at that moment, which was probably not ideal for a psychedelic experience. But with that said, the roughly ~185 mg dose led to a solid 6-7 peak roll, just ridiculously good. Watched the sunset on the beach and the clouds and colors were, quite possibly, the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
The come down (at least for me) is physically taxing, however. Much more so for me than mdma. On all three doses, it caused a good amount of gastric distress during the comedown, which lasted a solid 12 hours after I was otherwise back to baseline. On my most recent 185 mg dose, I had a pretty decent headache the next morning, which lasted a good chunk of the day. Also, I feel like my coordination was impacted more with 6-apb than with mdma. At times, it felt like I was just the very slightest bit drunk (e.g., when trying to put a sandal on in the sand). Oh, and dear lord, the gurning, jaw clenching, and teeth gri…

Interesting. Thanks for the info! The psychedelic aspect probably came from 6-APB's 5-HT2 agonism.
