Title: I almost got BUSTED for buying ephedrine!!
Post by: Master Blaster on September 26, 2007, 01:03:10 PM
So I'm at the freakin Walgreen's to pick up some Bronkaid and Nicorette. You can't even find the Bronkaid box on the shelf, they have these stupid cards you have to bring up to the drug counter. Then I had to sign my name and address in a book. Finally I give the fat chick at the counter my drivers licence and she scans the magnetic strip in the register.

Next thing you know, A FUCKING ALARM  GOES OFF!!! The people behind me are looking at me like I'm some kinda freak. Of course I was already feeling weird (from the EC stack) so I start thinking I might just make a bee-line for the door. Sweat starts to drip down my face. I had just bought a box of 24 pills  two weeks ago, and I assumed I was on some kind of drug database for potential offenders. The chick kept saying "It's telling us we can't sell this to you."

Anyway, the pharmacist comes over and enters some kind of override and they end up letting me buy it afterall.

ARE WE LIVING IN A GOD DAMN POLICE STATE?


MELTDOWN!

Ephedrine = Legal
Ephedra = Illegal (in most of the US i believe colorado its legal but could be wrong)

The people behind you probably just thought you were on amphetamines or something....oh snap!

I am pretty sure that your information gets run through a check in the DEA database at El Paso Intel Center when you try to buy this stuff now and it checks how much you have previously bought in the last 30 days.  One thing you have to watch out for is where you travel with ephedrine.  You could be hassled for a meth precursor in some counties if you get pulled over.

Hahahah wow... you went through a box of 60 pills in two weeks. Epic dependency on pills to lose weight. Let the diet do most of the work man. They won't sell bronkaid to you that often. Instead try making the box last a little over a month and then return for a refill. You can survive on about 75mg a day for that much i think.

I went to get it once at Longs and the Pharmacist starts hassling me about the evils of it, and I said how long have you been a Pharmacist and he says about 30 years why, and I said good than you should know that the main ingredient in Dexatrim which our Mothers and Grandmothers lived off of (cleaned, cooked, worked...and we wondered why they never slept...lol) was ephedrine...He was so dumfounded and did not no what to say so I took that as my exit cue...

You're a cool guy Leafy, but you have to bone up on your reading comprehension  ;) (24 pills in two weeks).

I only take 50mg a day, thats all I can tolerate. I take weekends off too.

From what i have read you should not take days off on ephedrine. Regardless, the bronkaid brand made by bayer comes in 60 pill boxes. Im not sure where you got 24 from.

Wouldn't it be detrimental to your health to stay on ephedrine forever? (like any other drug)?

Maybe, maybe not. I read about a woman who had beeen of 150mg/day for 30 years for her asthma, no health problems. This is common in some countries.

Anyhoo, not sure I want to do it everyday, won't I stay more sensitive to it's effects if I take off days?

Post by: SWOLETRAIN on September 26, 2007, 04:03:44 PM
Bro run it as long as you need not exceeding 100mg/day. your average joe gets awesome results with 2/day. Run it for 3mo and take a break. If you wanna get fancy with it, dont take it on the weekends and the effect wont diminish as fast.

I never said stay on it forever but what he is doing is like taking creatine every other day and whenever he feels like it.

But don't you think your system will get desensitized if you do it every day?

Yeah.... if you do it for months as with anything. You should only use it for about 6 weeks anyway. Thats really all you need. Probably less then that.

25mg to jump start the day and as high as 75 mg. I started to back off as i got leaner but i only went did that because i was behind.

Some of you guys are making the mistake of caring what the pharmacist thinks. It is not illegal to buy and unless you are buying too much they really shouldn't bother to ask. I have asthma and I maybe buy 3 to 4 boxes a year. Rarely do I go to the same place since there are so many around that sell it. I have never been asked why I am buying it and if I did I would simply say I have asthma end of story. Stop being so defensive.

One time I went into buy it and the pharmacist told me not to worry about signing the book. He just rolled his eyes and said it was a pain in the ass the have to keep track of the stuff. I told him that I was shocked that a product like Primatine inhaler was on the shelves, which is basically adrenaline and Primatine tabs (ephedrine) had to be signed for. He was in total agreement and I think kinda shocked as I am sure he never really thought about it before.

"Should"? I'll tell you that ephedrine has been shown to be safe for 12 months straight. And there was NO loss of thermogenic effect either. In fact, ephedrine becomes a bit more effective as time goes by (probably due to better t3 levels).

Many feel the stimulant effect wane after a while. Not everyone though. My sensitivity has gone up over the years. Some drugs are like that, the body gets more sensitive.

I didn't feel a thing when i was on it and i was having a couple of cups of coffee with it. I wouldn't recommend it year round due to price and yes, it does become more effective as time goes on which is why i recommend staying on it.

These are indeed dark days. A few years ago some assholes take 3 times the recommended amount of ephedra, practice outside in 90 plus degree wheather, drop dead and Now i can't get my ECA stack. I can't even get pseudo ephedrine(not nearly as good as the real stuff or Epheda) without a drivers license and a fucking eye scan >:(
