It's much easier to ban it (asthma benefits be damned).

I've taken ephedrine for asthma, but for the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want to do this unless it was absolutely the only drug he responded to. Amazingly, you can get ephedrine and epinephrine (which can kill you) right over the counter, but albuterol, which has virtually zero side effects and is far more effective, can be obtained only by prescription.

WHY do they want to do this?? Because the drug companies are losing money!! That's WHY. Who gives a hoot about our freedoms and your health? Surely not our Government.

Just like they banned L-tryptophan because it is labeled "Natures Prozac" they stood to lose a ton of money if kept legal.
NOW Doctors can prescribe it and they will triple the price.

P.S. Being creative you can still obtain it though!
I do not know where you live but if you go to "China Town" In Chicago, there are probably 101 CHINESE herbalist who are licensed, and are literally Doctors in China! But cannot Practice here because they do not have "American" licenses. They are dirt cheap and most likely will prescibe it for you.
