The 5-meo-mipt is pretty much just an afterthought to mimic the slightly psychedelic edge that mdma produces via agonism at 5ht1a, 5ht2a, 5ht2b. It's not particularly necessary to the experience.
5-mapb is a fairly selective releaser of serotonin--so much so that it's often subjectively sedating. I suspect that the main reason why people have gotten themselves hurt on 5-mapb is that they dose high on it in order to break threshold for its stimulant effects--dopaminergic activity seems pretty essential or at least beneficial to the empathogenic effects produced by serotonin releasers.
In this sense, I'm quite confident that the combination of a lower dose of 5-mapb + any dopaminergic stimulant is safer than a high dose of 5-mapb. The introduction of 5-meo-mipt brings a greater deal of risk because of of its action on alpha adrenergic receptors, SERT, and as a mao substrate. The risks of its introduction to the combination will of course be dose-dependent, and it would be reckless to try this combination without first being familiar with all of the chemicals involved. If one wishes to mitigate risks, substitution of a more conventionally-acting hallucinogen like 4-aco-dmt would be fine.
I agree that it doesn't make much sense to tout this as a replacement for tested mdma as a harm-reduction strategy, given that mdma is really minimally toxic with infrequent use. Rather, it's a combination of research chemicals that replicates mdma more closely and -possibly- more safely than any of those research chemicals individually. Given that not everyone has access to mdma, and especially that not everyone has access to tested pure mdma, this is absolutely a reasonable goal for a research chemical combination to achieve.
Keep in mind that there have been a few horror stories with 5-Mapb. I would say in terms of long term after effects that's the highest risk chemical of the bunch. In terms of immediate risk of overdose and/or an unpleasant time 5-meo-mipt is the most risky. 2-fma is pretty benign except for its potential to contribute towards mitral valve disfunction and/or left ventricular hypertrophy with long term daily use.
yup thats why 5-meo-mipt is added for the mild psychedelic edge that mdma produces. I can tell you from my first 5-mapb expirience at 110 mgs I got mild psychedelica, bright colors and was lovely, magically, super empathetic. That said, I had a week long bad side effects-(mention it in my recent 5-mapb trip report and 5-mapb thread) and throw the whole batch out and yes I tested it.....next time did 50 mgs and on a scale of 1-10 was about a 4..no psychedelia.
I totally agree to so this combo a person must be educated and have at least a basic scientific understand of how each chemical works, and the doses- thats why the 5-meo-mipt is at like 2 mgs in this combo-- its a must to take something a person has a basic understanding how each compound works
