I've seen some recipes for blends that can sub for MDMA with mixed results and wanted to share my thoughts and see what you more-experienced people would suggest, since I'm new at this. I'm a neuroscientist with some chemistry training, so I'm not totally clueless about the mechanisms involved - I just haven't directly experienced almost everything (2 or 3 MDMA, 1 5-MAPB, 1 5-MAPB/4-AcO-DMT combo) and I know there's a lot of inter-person variation.

So, I'm fine-tuning a blend to attempt to replace MDMA as closely as possible, since I moved to an area where the opioid crisis hit so badly that the authorities are ludicrously vigilant 🤬. I got a pack of good 5-MAPB from Smokey's and 4-aco-DMT from a darknet vendor, so I know things can get through, but two shipments of real MDMA - 1 pill, 1 rock/powder - failed even with reships. I may be able to set up a POB in California (I visit every couple months for work) but it'd be a whole lot easier and less risky to come up with a replacement blend.

After lots of reading at Erowid and Psychonaut Wiki I decided to try a combo of 4-FA, 5-MAPB, and 4-AcO-DiPT. Then finding out that 4FA is long gone, went with 4-FMA. I get the empathogenic warm fuzzies from 5-MAPB (feels very sensory-serotonergic, at least with temp and tactile responses). Haven't tried 4-FMA, but I didn't want too much stimulation from it, more the euphoria/entactogen feel, and it sounded like the 2- and 3-F versions were much more straight-amphetamine-like. Finally, I want the tingly mild psychedelics of 4-AcO-DiPT and (from the user experiences) the increased libido/sexual sensation that seem to go with it. 👩‍❤️‍👨

So, does this sound like a reasonable substitute for MDMA? Any suggestions on ratio, timing, etc.? I know the APB is a little slower in its activity than the others, but with only about a 15 minute difference, I could probably have a good 2-hr or so overlapped peak even if they're all in one cap.

Lastly, for the chemists in the audience - 5-MAPB seems to be about as close structurally to MDMA that you can get, but the missing O that turns dimethoxy- into benzofuran seems to be pretty important in terms of structure-activity relationship. Looking at the structures, size and shape are very similar, so I'm guessing it's an electrostatic interaction that changes the Ki values. What I'm wondering is if you could do a relatively simple Friedel-Crafts acylation or similar reaction with the 5-MAPB, and attack the furan to attach an electron donor (O is a donor, right?), say a keto or carboxyl/hydroxyl group, in the position where the second O would normally be in MDMA?  If it's possible, do you think it'd be as close or closer to MDMA as 5-MAPB in experience? And has it been tried already and I just didn't know? 😉 

 
I personally like 5-APB the most, but I'm also a big fan of 4-FA although I don't think it's as similar to MDMA. I imagine 4-FA mixed with 5-MAPB would be close.

 
borax formula. 5 mapb for roll, 2 fma for amp and 3 ho or 3 aco met for the magic. 3 ho met is great by itself btw. not a roll but a fun trip with no anxiety 

 
I've personally experimented with the Borax Combo.  You can look it up on Reddit.  I really can't tell the difference between this and real mdma to be honest.

  2. M @ Mammasboi123: @Stevienixonn shout box is for non-vendor related convos IIRC. There’s a section of the forum for suggesting kratom vendors specifically. Check it out! Some great options in there.
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: @Stevienixon cnc I believe
  4. T @ Tucker: Sorry @ dspring01, I just read your message wrong. No worries. 👍. Tried sending you a direct message but wouldn’t allow me. Maybe im at my limit, not sure. Good luck bud.
  5. D @ dspring01: @Tucker - I am sorry. What was your question?
  6. Stevienixon @ Stevienixon: Trying to find 7oh
  7. T @ Tucker: Hey @dspring01 what’s up with the sad looking face when asked where shipped too? Just asking
  8. F @ fyjclol: Scroll back & read it. Or read what he said on his thread.
  9. Saturnmeds @ Saturnmeds: What happened to calfresh? Someone stole his crypto?
  10. B @ bigblueallda: That sucks @CalFresh do you think it was an inside job? Or someone that knew.
  11. crimp @ crimp: do you live in a dangerous area maybe try moving to the country when you get back on your feet you seem to understant crypto beter then me so youll be on your feet in no time

  13. crimp @ crimp: glad youre good buddy
  14. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  15. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  16. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  17. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery
  18. crimp @ crimp: neck spine surgery 8 ribs broke and scalp split onen about 6 inches
  19. crimp @ crimp: need some help dude im so injured its not even funny dm me for details just need someone willing to help me fust for a week
  20. CnC5 @ CnC5: @CalFresh if theres anything i can do brother lmk!
