Some helpful facts might be useful.
Currently ANY ephedrine ALKALOID (more on that later) product sold in either PILL or Capsule form requires a prescription, primarily because it can be converted the METH after only a few relatively simple chemical reactions.
However the sale of ephedrine in mist or as an MDI (metered dose inhaler) is permitted by FEDERAL guidelines, yet almost ALL STATES restrict it's also.
Primatene mist is NOT EPHEDRINE but rather EPINEPHRINE and UNLIKE ephedra it's use in a "ECA STACK" is quite limited for a couple reasons. First it's half life is on the order of several MINUTES and it is degraded and therefore rendered USELESS if ingested.
Ok so we are left with EPHEDRA! Unfortunately because of it's abuse and potential for side effects, especially cardiovascular, it is NOT AVAILABLE WITHOUT AN RX. So hey JIM but what about that stuff at GNC, you know the
Ephedra ........ EXTRACT?
Yep it's available and has NOT been banned but why is that? Because it is "extracted" from ONE OF SEVERAL (about FIFTY!!!) EPHEDRA PLANT SPECIES! However only ONE of those species (Sinica) contains the EPHEDRA ALKALOID active ingredient.
Take a look at most of the
ECA in a bottle "stacks" and the overwhelming majority contain the non-active EPHEDRA EXTRACT, occasional EPHEDRA precursors such as PEA and, and enough caffeine for two to three cups of coffee.
So what to do?
A couple options are available. First, purchasing Ephedrine via the internet "for personal use only". This form of medicinal importation falls into the gray area for controlled substances BUT is probably legal, according to the 2-3 attorneys whom specialize in INTERNATIONAL trade whom I've spoken with, for noncontrolled substances yet limited to a 90 day supply. (Obviously if your interest is anything BUT "for personal use" then it's probably ILLEGAL)
Of course there is always a legitimate concern regarding the quality of any drug sold on a clandestine market, but it is what it is.
Another viable option is the purchase of PSEUDOEPHEDRINE since it IS AVAILABLE OTC in most states. Some states restrict it's sale to "BEHIND THE COUNTER" and under the direction of a PHARMACIST which is to include the customers demographic information.
Thereafter your phone is tapped and ALL of your web related activity will be monitored 24/7 and an FBI agent will be placed at GRANDMAS house!
Hope this helps, respects
