You can do what you like, it'll probably get through no doubt...but that's the risk you take. They're not likily to bust you for it if it's a small amount (can be proven for personal use) they'll just confiscate it. Better to let someone domestic to you do the hard work and have them send it you through your internal post system, it's a lot more secure. I'd never order illegal substances overseas if I could help it or I had an option. If you can go domestic, do it.

The ephedrine ban does not take effect until January 1st. Most companies refuse to ship to California simply for insurance reasons.
My advice: stock up now - Vasopro is still cheap and pure

I was looking for Stacker 2 in Jersey the other day and went into GNC (silly me) and the lady behind the counter told me the FDA was about to totally ban Ephedra or Ephedrine or whatever. Wasn't sure if she was just trying to convince me to get this other junk she was offering though.
I live in NYC and have just figured out a way to get it (just popped my first about an hour ago), so I would hate for there to be some truth to what she said and will definitely stock up if it is the case. Does anybody have info?
BTW, is it illegal to *use* or *own* it in NY, or just illegal to sell it?
Thank you,
PizzaEater.

So I just did a search on what Vasopro is ..
http://www.1fast400.com/?products_id=50
Description:
Ephedrine HCL (Hydrochloride) is used as a bronchodilator (for asthma) to open air passages for easier breathing. Helps conditions of shortness of breath, tightness of chest and wheezing.
Side effects:
Increased energy, appetite suppression, increased fat burning, and preservation of muscle tissue from breaking down
LOL, are they trying to dodge legality issues or what!
So does it really work? TrimSpa and Thermorexin do nothing for me.
I've never used ephedrine HCL, I imagine it's a lot more potent than the other pills?

If you are going to use Ephedrine, Ephedrine HCl is the only way to go. Ephedra contains many other alkaloids, not just the Ephedrine - some of them have very unpredicable side effects.
Herbal Ephedra makes my prostate swell, which is a very unpleasant sensation. Ephedrine HCl does not, and gives me a better effect.
Regarding the law - yes, it is true. The FDA is working hard to ban Ephedrine, right along with Prohormones and DHEA. I'm not in the mood to go on my standard anti-government rant - maybe someone else can fill in for me.

Do you stack with caffeine? I'm planning on stacking Vasopro and Tight together.

So some newbie info for a second. I have just started on Stacker 2. Am I correct in thinking you are going for a similar effect, but you are putting all the seperate ingredients together yourself?
If I am not getting any adverse effects from S2 is the only other benefit from what youre doing a lower price?
Do you put the stuff together in the same quantities/ratios as for example, Stacker 2?
Can you direct me to any further reading on this?
Thanks,
PizzaEater.

Stacker 2 is just one of thousands of unoriginal ECA stacks.
Again, they use Ephedra - which, though it is standardized for ephedrine, also contains the other alkaloids which have unknown effects on the body. I have bad reactions from the herbal ephedra which I dont have with pure ephedrine.
Also, making your own is much cheaper.
