Ephedra = outlaw party drug or great green satan

by tkat
This is the last days to buy this wonderful herb, it is both a stimulant and a decongestant.
After hearing the news this morning we thought. "If the government wasn't killing people, destroying the planet, and lying like mad.. . Outlawing Ephedra would be funny." Well not really. It is only an herb that has been used for thousands of years and then kids from the american suburbs discovered it is like legal speed and took too much for too long and now no one can take it.

Many of you may know this, but for those that don't the loving paternalistic FDA is outlawing ephedra today. It is an amazing stimulant, that is organic or more so than other speed type chemicals and is also great for conjestion. It is one of the more active chinese herbs in chinese medicine. I personally find it to be a pleasent alternative to caffiene, it makes me wiggy and dance for hours.

The moral of the story is go buy some now. Take it in sane doses (one or two caps) every once and a while (once or twice a month) and don't use it if you have a heart condition. Drink water, rest, have a good time. It is dehydrating, so if you need to drink, drink water....

so Rainbow Grocery is already sold out of the pills. they had some tincture there when i was there this morning. Ephedra is also called Ma Huang. it's an herbal ally of mine right now. i like it once in a while when i'm going out dancing and i need that extra umph. it somehow goes well w/ music. i hate this government. i don't need a big daddy to tell me what i can and can't put in my body. what do they want me to do, speed? no wait - it's wrong to go out dancing late at night - decent people are in bed by 11, or maybe they watch david letterman. fuck the usa.

as for decongesting, ephedra, in my experience, has been much mellower than sudafed or anything like that which makes my brain wiggy (bad wiggy). but hey! it's amerika! take your cold medicine and get back to work!
by heard it before
Yeah, right.

Hey people I totally agree with you . I won't even go into the similarities between Stalinist Russia and Bush's USA. I will just tell you to find other ways of getting it. Right now I am just back from overseas and was shocked to find out about the ban. Hey to think I just discovered the product in Walgreens about 10 months ago.
Right now the best option is to get it from the Netherlands where virtually anything is legal. I am sorry to say this but your liberal capitalism is just a facade. The trouble is that these products will get stuck at customs. So my solution is to give my overseas address and claim them when I get back home. I will just put all the pills into tylenol bottles or with the ephedra free version bottles in case they search me at customs. Talk abou totalitarianism. Idiot US govt. No offense but I pity you lot really, hey wake up this is a totalitarian system you are living in.
