Title: ephedrine
Post by: personman on January 31, 2012, 02:01:23 am

Ever heard of "ephedrine"? Ever used it? I have and found(a decade ago) that it was not only addictive but extremely effective in burning fat and jolting the CNS to raise awareness to the stratosphere. Now I know it is not as trendy as recreational drugs like MJ and cocaine and alchohol but, given its positive effects, would it not be a good idea to supplement on occasion with? Why or why not. Keep in mind it is a synthetic compound derived from a plant and could be construed(in some possible world) as "natural"...

No. Definitely not paleo.
And by being "addictive" rings all the alarm bells.

I think ephedra, which ephedrine is derived from, was banned in the US for causing deaths.
