Hoping the ban is overturned.

Same here. I've used ephedra for years--RESPONSIBLY!--and I've never had any problems. This is stupid, meaningless, feel-good legislation.

FYI Ping.

Hope that this judge can see the facts, and not the hype that Thompson and McClellan dished out in December.

I'm sitting on a stockpile of the stuff.

NVE Pharmaceuticals of New Jersey contends the FDA lacks proof that ephedra is dangerous if used as directed

I don't know much about this drug .. But I do know that ANY drug can be dangerous if not used as directed or abused ... and the includes Aspirin

Are they going to ban Aspirin next?

I don't use Ephedra at all. I have some, in my med kit, in case I ever need a stimulant during an extended emergency. The government seems to have taken responsibility for the decisions of the people regarding their own person. Makes no difference whether Republicans or Democrats are in power, the government, both elected and appointed, justifies it's existence by regulating people to greater and greater degrees. Soon, you will not be able to buy even simple vitamins in anything but government approved doses and combinations, and will eventually be regulated as to how many and how often you can purchase them.
