: : : : In Texas Ephedrine is readily available at convenience stores and health food stores. It is basically a smooth muscle relaxer. It dialates your bronchial tubes and your blood vesselsl. The tingly high you get is basically from an oxygen overdose. Don't OD on the stuff, possible side effects are bronchitis, very low blood pressure, and the stuff has been linked to a couple of deaths. Be careful
: : No offense, TJ - but you just posted some information that might hurt someone. Ephedrine is not a muscle relaxer. If you want muscle relaxers, see your doctor for a valium prescription! Ephedrine is an AMPHETAMINE and is sold over the counter for asthma relief, weight loss, and miracle Energizers. It has a similar effect to speed, causing INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE and RAPID HEART BEAT, lasting 4 to 8 hours. It will not cause Bronchitis. If you're trying to get a 'high' from this drug, FORGET IT - ITS TOO DANGEROUS. You can get a better 'HIGH' from 2 pots of coffee!!!
: Yup you need over 170mg for the recreational fx, plus u get a bigger 'come down' than most amphetamines (without the 'speed' f'ct). One of the reasons this drug wos banned is b'cause it is so easy 2 manufacture speed from it!
: Most of the Ectasy u get on the street will contain a significant percentage of this stuff!
Ephedrine IS a smooth muscle relaxant, dipshit. You obviously do not know the difference between smooth and skeletal muscle. Valium is a benzodiazepine, and relaxes SKELETAL muscle. Ephedrine is a brochodilator, and relaxes SMOOTH muscle, the kind of muscle tissue that lines your bronchioles.
