ephedrine in stacking–safe??
Question:
Also schrieb Ascentia: my memory is a little faulty here, but it was either a key component of crystal meth or used to make roofies, (sp?) the date rape drug.
Ephedrine is a chemical precursor to meth. The reaction is simple, allegedly, and can be cooked up in a kitchen lab. of course both of these things are very dangerous, he had horror stories to scare the teenagers. does anyone know how this compares to the stacking formula? the ironic thing is this speaker was at least twice his recommended weight, and could have benefited from stacking perhaps.
<g Well, sure, E is a precursor to meth. So what? We’re not making meth out of it. We’re using it for its intrinsic value. The FAQ I have authored on Stacking is undergoing some surgery right now, on account of I have a motor mouth (keyboard) and am way too loquacious for a FAQ. But briefly <ha ha ephedrine increases your body’s metabolism and potentiates lipolysis, which is fat burning. There are some side effects you may experience. Increased energy, insomnia, jittery or ‘wired’ feeling. These last about a day or so if you even get them. Some people have abused ephedrine; it does contain active components in it that will cause people (stupid people) to abuse it. In some cases this abuse has led to death. I won’t beat around the bush. If you abuse ephedrine you could harm yourself or kill yourself. However, in the recommended doses (20mg Ephedrine to 200mg caffeine) it is as safe as any other supplementation can be. IMHO. FWIW I’ve been stacking since May and have had no difficulties sticking to the recommended dosages. The biggest problem that I see to ECA is the morons who either abuse E in their "herbal ecstasy" preparations or the pinheads who figure that "if a little is good, a lot must be better" and go nuts popping pills. These people will be nominated for the Darwin awards shortly. <g — If we aren’t supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat?
Response:
i have been lurking and reading some posts on stacking. it seems to have worked well for some posters. but all sorts of warning flags went off in my head when i saw ephedrine. for the past two years we have had a speaker come talk to my daughter’s high school about drug problem, really scary ones, and one of the things he spoke about was ephedrine, and how it was relatively easy to get, especially in asthma medications. my memory is a little faulty here, but it was either a key component of crystal meth or used to make roofies, (sp?) the date rape drug. of course both of these things are very dangerous, he had horror stories to scare the teenagers. does anyone know how this compares to the stacking formula? the ironic thing is this speaker was at least twice his recommended weight, and could have benefited from stacking perhaps.
