Hi, I'm new here, and I have a question I've not been able to get a clear cut answer for which is the legal status of the pure ma huang herb. I understand all dietary supplements and the like are banned in the US that contain ephedra alkaloids, but I don't see anything in the final FDA ruling to indicate that buying the herb in bulk form from china is also illegal. And if this is so, can someone show me where this is also applied to the ruling? Thanks very much!
