5F-AMB is a synthetic cannabinoid that belongs to a class of drugs known as designer drugs or research chemicals. It is structurally similar to other synthetic cannabinoids like AB-CHMINACA and AB-FUBINACA. 5F-AMB was first identified in Japan in 2014 and has since spread to other countries.

People often use street names like “5F-MMB-PINACA” or “5F-AMB-PINACA” to sell this drug, which can be consumed in multiple ways such as smoking, vaping, or oral ingestion. It possesses potent psychoactive effects and can be significantly more potent than THC, the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis.

Due to its potency and potential for abuse, 5F-AMB is classified as a controlled substance in many countries and its use is strictly prohibited. However, it continues to be sold illicitly on the black market as a recreational drug.

The short-term effects of 5F-AMB can include altered perception, euphoria, relaxation, and increased appetite. However, it can also produce negative side effects such as paranoia, anxiety, hallucinations, and even psychosis. Long-term use of synthetic cannabinoids like 5F-AMB has also been associated with a range of health problems including respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, and addiction.
