Interesting read that I saw earlier today.
Ephedra back on the market.
- Thread starter FunctionalTrain
- Start date
This site breaks your link. Here's one that works:
Glad to see someone making an effort. The whole "ephedra is dangerous" thing is pretty baseless, from what I can tell.
Also, here in Canada, we can still get ephedrine HCL easily. And cheap, too! In 8mg increments, but this is not really an issue. I have a box of the stuff the size of my head sitting a foot away from me as I write this. And I think I'll have some more, right now! Mmm, delicious.
^ This is me rubbing it in.

thanks man!!
Np. For anyone who's wondering, it's generally best to just pop over to and convert your link to a short one (having less characters in the URL), so Sean's code doesn't **** with it. ^_^
Prolonged use can lead to addiction though so I wouldn't use them so regularly. Plus, Ephedrine can really screw up sleeping patterns, if that happens then you'll easily lose any benefits you get from training by not sleeping.
Hooray! People will be able to lose weight again!
You could always get on the web if you wanted it.
Ftr, misuse (due to lack of maturity, usually, I would say) of anything can lead to addiction (or trouble sleeping, for that matter). Ephedrine does not cause physical dependence. Caffeine does, though.
Most people recommend not taking the stuff (ephedrine) anywhere later than early-mid afternoon so as not to disrupt sleep (sadly, ephedrine is not tolerated like caffeine is [hence the physical "addiction"] - not the parts that would keep you awake, that is), but me, I find it doesn't matter what I've taken when my body decides it wants to sleep. It's actually a bit of a problem, really. I am pretty well immune to wake-me-ups. And alarm clocks. Even the kind with fists.
I once drank 18 Red Bulls and nearly 3 litres of Grey Goose and then decided to go to sleep (no, that's not a euphemism for passed out, and I was actually sitting upright in a chair ) and slept the sleep of the just. This in spite of the fact that both alcohol and caffeine (which I was not tolerant to at the time) are supposed to be disruptive to sleep, let alone able to kill someone in that quantity.
While doing so makes me a very stupid person (and I most certainly was, seriously, kids don't try this at home - people die from less willful idiocy than that all the time), I mention this to illustrate the fact that when it comes to health and fitness a lot of what happens is a personal thing. In cases where it's a question of "possible side-effects include...", it's all down to the individual. With ephedrine, it's a 'you might maybe hurt yourself if you're really unlucky and dumb about it'. Which is why I don't see the difference between it and say... every "legalized" drug sold in North America. Smoking cigarettes, for example, will definitely wreck your ****, but they're okay because the government makes a killing off of them!

Personally I could careless if its back on the market or not.
I walk in my own fat-burning machine everyday.
And, the "pill" for my personal fat-burning and Thermogenic properties are between my ears.
I am not a fan of one being biologically assisted (whether its known to work or known to "fool-a lot-of people" into thinking it works), unless it is proved "medically" necessary by the appropriate licensed professional.
Diet and exercise are friends that have never lied to me: I don't have to question these two friendly companions. And, I can always have faith in them.
But, this is just me.
Best wishes
