February 27, 2009 at 11:54 AM #356379EugeneParticipant[quote=CardiffBaseball]While we are discussing govt. bans. I take an Ephedrine/Caffeine/Aspirin stack (ECA) 3 times a day because it levels me out. I am overweight, and when I stack I have almost no cravings, and my energy levels are picked up significantly. Basically when stacking I have to force myself to eat 3 meals because I just don’t get very hungry.
It’s not speed but they sure make it a pain in the ass to buy it these days thanks to the tweakers.
[/quote]I didn’t think it was possible at all to buy Ephedrine any more.
That’s the way the world works. The best and strongest stuff always has more side effects. Government responds by regulating or banning best and strongest stuff and leaving us with weaker versions. Ephedrine is better for weight loss than OTC supplements. Amphetamine is better than ephedrine. But ephedrine is riskier than OTC stuff, and amphetamine is riskier than ephedrine. Therefore, ephedrine is nearly regulated out of existence and amphetamine can’t be legally purchased at all. Analogously, hydrocodone/vicodin is a better painkiller than tylenol, therefore you need a prescription for it.
Have you tried adrafinil? More expensive than $12/month, though.

February 27, 2009 at 4:37 PM #356630scaredyclassicParticipanti hate the “well, if you’re gonna legalize pot, then you might as well take acid and screw a horse.” I mean, jeepers.
it sounds similar to the arguments that if we legalize gay marriage then everyone will be saying pedophilia is ok and the next thing you know teachers wil be having sex with kids while on drugs.
Instead of inventing some worst case scenario, take the issue on its merits, like gay marriage.
And yeah, what about phelps? i thought pot made you a slacker loser? Maybe slackers are attracted to it, maybe more loser than non-losers smoke it currently, but there may not be a cause and effect out there. in fact, maybe it’s more slacker-concentrated because it’s illegal.
Maybe if it were available to the general public we would have a better class of smoker. Like, if booze is illegal and you get 30 years in prison for drinking it, then probably only the most desperate hardcore alkies will be drinking and the alcohoo community will be pretty nasty and fit the worst possible stereotype…there will be no recreational drinking because normal people cannot chance it.
. but if you legalize booze and sell it in supermarkets, normal dudes like myself who can limit themselve to 2 (ok, 4) drinks a day end up int he representative mix of drinkers and alcohol doesn’t look so bad. i don’t get nutty, beat my wife, pass out in my own vomit on streetcorners, expose myself ina drunken rage while railing against the governemnt, etc. i just sit and have a few drinks and laugh. .
All the temperance movement people describe alccohol in the same sort of road-to-depravity images as come up here int he “i cannot bear to live in asociety where pot is sold.’ yeah, well, pinch-faced old broads couldn’t bear to lvie ina society where alcohol was sold early last century. grow up, get over it and let’s balance the damn budget. but whatever you do, don’t say bong hits 4 jesus! at your local high school or the supreme court of the united states will hang you out to dry. probly woulda been a different result if itd been legalized
