There's not a lot of info out there on this drug, but I found a source for it, wanted to know more (like whether it's safe to use), and did what research I could. There's a very brief Wikipedia article, which gives a little bit of info, and a pretty-much-useless thread on Bluelight. It seems that about the only scholarly info on this compound is in this paper in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, which is paywalled (though I was able to access it through my university library proxy).
Here's a summary of the info I was able to glean from my searching:
Layman's info:
5MeMDA is an MDA derivative (duh) whose effects are supposed to include euphoria, empathogenic/entactogenic effects, and psychedelic effects; it is notably lacking in stimulant effects. It is also significantly more potent than MDA, with an active dose believed to be in the range of 15-25 mg (threshold dose likely around 5-10 mg).
More science-y stuff: (skip this if you don't care about how drugs work)
I say that the effects are supposed to include the above because I can't actually find a detailed, confirmed report of a human using it. The above in…

The Sasha Shulgin comment was made with tongue planted firmly in cheek. I guess winky faces aren't what they used to be...
You make a good point about the possible negative effects, though; I think I got so carried away in thinking of all the possible nasty adulterants that I forgot that the substance itself could be dangerous.
And yes, it's incredibly easy to get pharmaceutical grade amphetamine. Especially for someone with ADD, such as myself. If I were a fan of the high from straight amphetamine, I'd be in trouble; as it is, I only slightly abuse it in order to stay up late for parties or homework every once in a while...

If you are going to try it, just be careful. Take a lot of antioxidants, magnesium, and vitamins. I'd probably add taurine and CoQ10 to help mitigate any possible cardiotoxicity. Na-R-ALA, vitamin E, ALCAR, N-acetylcystine, and vitamin C for antioxidants. Magnesium glycinate and inositol for NMDA modulation. I'd probably throw in some EGCG as well.
