Gas Station Ephedra the same as the old stuff?

What about Ephedra Tea. I just ordered some. Any of you guys tried it?

ehpedrine is synthetic. not the plant extract. you can still get the ephedra pills with the plant extract(lipodrene, stimerex, yellow bullets, yada yada) but if its the extract from the leaves and stems - it is no good. you want the ones with the ephedra alkaloid. 32 species of ephedra exist. the basics-ephedra sinica(ma huang) strongest form alkaloid. ephedra viridis-no alkaloid, stems and leaves. there are the originals out there. there is a legitimate sight but they cost a little. if u can find it.

Yeah Ephedra came back, although I haven't found any as good as the stuff I was buying in the 90s, except for the asthma medicine that you buy at the pharm and have to sign for. That stuff is the same, although it gives you the shakes.
