[Erowid Note: Note that some material sold as 6-MAPB in 2014 was actually 5-MAPB.] Since I've enjoyed all the other benzofurans that I've tried so far (5-apb, 6-apb, 5-apdb, 5-mapb at the time of this experience, 6-apdb a few months after). I bought a small sample of 6-MAPB when I first saw it available.

Tolerance
No tolerance chart. No study has measured how long tolerance to it lasts, so this page shows what is known instead of a curve.
Nothing has been published on tolerance to 6-MAPB, and no reference source gives a figure; research is limited to cell and rat studies. In rats and in human liver preparations it is partly converted to 6-APB.

Since the original apbs are illegal in my country (half of 5 apb + half of 6 apb was my favorite) I decided to acquire some 5 mapb and a small sample of 6 mapb. This is my report of my first experiment with 6-mapb.
