And if it was banned... Why are you guys still using it? I imagine there was a good reason... Aren't you gonna fuck yourselves up?

I'm sick of ephedra getting a bad wrap. The media and lawyers are blowing this out of proportion in order to milk companies for everything they have. It's sick. If you weigh 400 lbs and decide to down a whole fucking bottle and then go run a mile, you deserve to die for being such a fucking idiot. For MOST people it is perfectly safe.

Is that your line of thinking on everything the gov tells you is bad? my god, the only way there is justified reason to ban the shit is imagining one, there was no good reason, some little kid took too much of it when he shouldn't be taking it in the first place and killed himself and now parents are on this crusade to stop this evil thing from getting more of us, OMG what will we do with this evil fatal supplement out there. B/c people take it and their body tempature raises a few degrees and they just drop dead, just like that....incase you can't tell I am being sarcastic, that is how stupid a casse these people are making, pepole who have done 0 research and know zip about it except its "evil" and we must ban it for the children foro gods sake. rant over

Not really. I'm a big believer in the "People should have the right to drink/eat/inject/smoke whatever they want, as long as it doesn't affect anyone else".

Then again, if there's not enough research to prove either way (that it's good or bad for you), why are you rapping on me because I ask whether the drug is bad or good? Got any statistically significant studies?

No need for getting personal, I'm just asking a question. In the end, it's your body, you should be able to do whatever you want.

I do understand the flip-side of the arguement: that people who "do whatever they want" because it's "their body" etc etc etc. usually increase everyone's insurance premiums overall we all end up paying for their health care in some way." but, whatever, I'm into socialism, so I think we should all have universal health care and would be willing to pay higher taxes or whatever, so that arguement is irrelevant to me
