ephederine
i've read up on it a little on the net.
just wondering how many people have done it and how it makes you feel? I know it increases your blood pressure and what not but to what extent? I think a lot of people have a misconception that it's "herbal jib".

it's a stimulant, that's about it.
take the recomended dosage, and you will be slightly more perky. i believe that dosage is one pill every 4-8 hours. take any more than that and you're abusing the drug, and it will make you feel jibby and speedy, because it is acting on your body in a very similar way. ephedrine is banned in the us and i believe is currently under review in canada, because even though it is non addictive physically, abusing it is very dangerous. r.

yeah that's what i got from my reading as well werdyboy. in fact, an ephedrine/caffeine mixed pill was taken off the market in canada just recently. It was called Ignition. I know of several people who are taking it for weight loss...and i know it does increase the speed of your metabolism but i haven't been able to find out what long term damages it does to your metabolism.

I have no idea why it would be referred to as 'herbal jib', it's purely chemical. If you're looking for natural energy boosters, try stuff like ginseng, yerba matte, ginko biloba, etc (and i would strongly reccomend doing a good share of reading up on those things bevore endeavouring into them)
I used to drink and pop ephedrines when I was much younger (and probably less wise..) If I can really remember, it was a really strange feeling, but allowed me to walk home from where me and my fellow hoodlums drank, up a really big hill in about 1/2 the time. It's really nothing special. I know quite a few people who take it occasionally to stay up all night to study or finish projects for school- and it doesn't seem to be as addictive as other stimulants. However, as rawb mentioned there is a HUGE recall on ephedrine going on right now because it's prolonged use has been linked to several health mishaps. Myra

ephederine is actually both natural and snynthetically made. at least that's what i got from the reading that i've done. i might be wrong though. ephederine is actually a derivative of ephedra and ephedra comes from some sort of plant. there's a more potent form of ephederince and i think it's mixed with HCl...something along the lines of that. so you can get the natural kind and the synthetic chemical kind.

heh... memories!
when i first started partying i used to take ephedrine as sort of an "e substitute" for the energy... what it does is it expands your lungs (or something like that, im not sure) and you breathe in more oxygen, which in turn gives you more energy... thats why ephedrine is used in nasal decongestants but ive read somewhere that using too much ephedrine can lead to stroke or something.. so i dont use it anymore... plus it totally burns you out when the effects wear off john 2899131

I first bought ephedrine when a co-worker of mine recommended it to me. he told me he'd take it to get a superboost of energy when working out. so I figured it would be safe to help me stay awake at parties..
I used to take all the time when partying. the only problem is, they do have a pretty bad comedown and you can gain tolerance if taken enough for a long enough period of time. see, ephedrine can act as a nasal congestant. it basically constricts your bronchioles so that more oxygen can be taken in by your lungs, hence the more energetic you might feel. if you're thinking about taking em, by all means, I don't think it's too bad when taken on the very rare occasion. I still have about half a bottle left, which I bought almost 2 years ago. I don't take em anymore, just cuz I had a pretty bad experience with some really speedy e and it freaked me out how fast my heart was racing. one of the things that ephedrine does is it raises blood pressure as well as heart rate and after that experience, I tried to stay away from most synthetic substances that would raise my heart rate... I've never done straight jib, so I wouldn't know how it would be in comparison... but imagine a really speedy e, and the speediness decreased by about 7 times and you get the effects of ephedrine... but also, keep in mind that tolerance plays an important role in determining how any substances will react with your body. what's heavy for me, could be nothing for you. --Joanne :P

Ephederine is kinda dangerous, I did a hole shitload of research on it cause this girl I liked was gonna start taking it regularly and it scared me since I heard horror stories about it before. What I learnt was.
It is supposedly called the "natural form of ecstasy" because it is a misamphetemine drug. It can cause nausea(most of my friends have experienced this while on it) and you can even start to trip out depending upon the amount taken. My friend took 7 and started to trip out, 4 is the maximum recommended dosage, so I guess he deserved it. Almost all my friends found it really hard on there stomachs, caused them to be nauseas and puke a lot of the time(and this is just from 1 or 2 pills). I took it and I was fine, it gave me energy for about an hour. I found out that the canadian government is currently in the process of outlawing it because there have been 5 recorded deaths due to it's usage. If you wanna know what it does search the net for "amphetamine" or "misamphetamine" I don't remember which it is, but it'll tell you what a drug like that does.

Yoko is Stupid.
I took 10 at Return of the Vibe.. I MIGHT AS WELL JUST HAVE POPPED A CAP OF E!.. I felt super brain dead the next day, could NOT concentrate.. and it was kind of like the sketchy memory thing you get the next day after poppin a lot of e, or that's what it felt like to me... I don't know what the hell I expected out of taking ten, but I get the feeling tha that stuff is REALLY REALLY bad for you... And drugs are no way to lose weight! But it made me so damn talkative I talked to any one I saw, and I felt like I was on E, without the light airy euphoria... I think Jen (lazeegrrl) remembers me talking and talking and talking away that day... to every one in the washroom.. It's really not that great, nor worth it... A cup of espresso feels MUCH nicer! But that's just my opinion, cuz I want to promote health ;)

You can buy a kind of tea that contains 600mg of ephedrine in it.
It says that it's meant for "temporary relief of Congestion from Hay Fever, colds and Allergies" My parents used to make me drink tons of the stuff when I was a kid because I had/still have really bad allergies...it makes sense to me now why I was sucha hyper child.
