    Does anyone know the truth on the Ephedra Ban?

    I was told the other day that the ban would begin March 1st....so today i began researching to see ifthis was true and i found numerous answers saying that pure ephedra or ephedra hcl would still be legal, only ephedra based product would be baned...is this true???

    Im trying to stock up on Ephedra HCL and if its not gonna be banned asap them im not going to blow my hard earned $$$ on it right now....

    Respond if you know what your talking about, not what some guy at the gym told you!

    I've also heard/read this...

    They plan on banning Ma Haung, not the Ephedrine HCL.....

    Now is where the terminology comes into play....Ma Haung= Ephedra, Synthetic= Ephedrine

    ok, just got off of the FDA web page...and heres what i got out of it...tell me if im worng...

    all ephedra based DIETARY products (ie. stackers....) will be banned...

    It didnt mention anything on ephedra hcl used in homeade ECA....the ephdra hcl i have says its an Expectorant/Bronchodilator...so it should be use for medical reasons...this should slide by the ban if im correct...

    ephedra hcl will still be available - just not ephedra based products - the hcl is a decongestant - at least that was what I got out of it
