Ephedrine and sports?

[property magnate]

Everyone states that ephedrine is a bad substance with unpleasant side effects.
Why is it though, that it was and maybe still used in international competition although it is illegal?
There must be some positive use without side effects.
Could it be good in recommended doses ONLY when necessary eg. competition?
Could it be good in smaller amounts for training purposes?
OR
Could it be good in small doses (1/4 of recommended dose for training purposes then full dose for competition?)
What are your opinions?

personally i don't think it's a bad thing
it's true that it raises your heart rate more than meth, but if used in modoration it's excellent for sports.
last summer when i went jogging i could only go about 1-1.5hrs jogging before i had to pack it in.
with 25mg ephies, i went about 2hrs.
then when i tried an ECA stack(25mg Ephedrine, 400mg Caffine, 650mg Asprin) i went about 4hrs non stop
i heard it's supposed to be not all that healthy for the ol ticker, but modoration shouldn't hurt anything too badly.
if you're really worried about heart problems. take asprin with it because it's supposed to be an excellent vasciodillater(expands(dilates) your blood vessels) so it lowers your blood pressure.
also if u can get your hands on any high blood pressure meds it could help u out.
i'm not a doc and this stuff ain't illegal. so if in doubt, bug your physician.
happy trails man...

Thanks for your opinion.
I think the stuff that i ordered is a bit strong
Ephedra 1000 standardised to 8% so 80mg ephedrine per dose.
Might have to cut it into suitable amounts!

one word
CRAMPS
and also
TENSION
I take Metabolite which has 335mgMAUGHANG or what the hell ever its called.. equivilent to 20mg ehpedrine.. I take that at 10a then 3p and when i take it on days I work out, I notice my muscles get tense much quicker than if I didnt take them, and if I take them on leg days, I cant do and calf work out because i get a damn cramp in my righ one and it feels like the damn thing is creeping up to my ass.

I have one word:
heart attack.
not to meantion most of those shit pills have caffeine/ephedrine in them. unless there the ECA stack ones with aspirin. why bother to use stimulants while working out or on sports. do it yourself without the help of chemicals and it will be worth much more. not to meantioned the NASTIEST come down. i rather come down of methcathinone then ephedrine INHO. not to meantion the fact your going to be exausted from the sports anyhow.

Personalily I don't like the stuff, a relitivly low dose will keep my wired for days). Also strenuious activity while on the stuff increases your risk of cardiovascular damage, heart attack, and maybe <although I'm not certain of this> aneurisms, strokes, and sieieures. Educate yourself so you don't end up in a bad way. DAWN is great for that sort of stuff.

Take some asprin and you wont have a heart attack .. and ephedrine isn't illegal anywhere, though I wouldnt be surprised if it's banned for sporting events .. I will also be the first to say that when used in extreme moderation to give you an energy boost to go play some tennis or whatever, then the side effects are very low (if you suffer any at all) ... but if you're looking to give yourself an "alternative to meth" and munch 200mg, well, side effects is an understatement...

PhreeX - yes it is illegal in Australia. And i think it is the only country that has it illegal.
this is to prove how fucked up Australia is!Australian Customs Web Page (list of illegal substances)

Wow! I wonder if any money could be made opening a website that ships pure ephedrine to aussies? Anyone think this would drum up some intrest? I could charge high prices and sell raw ephedrine by the gram....
