#Ephedra
My productivity was at minimum 5000 words a day until they banned ephedra.
I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function

Here are two beautiful Ephedra shrubs in the US desert southwest, Ephedra viridis and E. torreyana. Beautiful, hardy, and drought tolerant, most photosynthesis takes place in the green stems, not the reduced leaves. Ephedra is useful in both traditional and pharmaceutical medicine.

obvious scam, unlike my family’s secret herbal recipe (a marvelously efficacious blend of mercury and ephedra)

People younger than 35 forget how cool GNC used to be. They used to sell Androstenedione and Ephedra in a little glass case in the back and then George W Bush sent The Fun Police in.

Comienzo del eclipse. Hemos subido a un cerro. Ephedra distachya. Los aviones y abejarucos desaparecieron del cielo

they loved ephedra, which is close enough for our purposes here. probably woulda lasted just as long

So I decided, let’s take NRE, which tbh, I knew nothing about before today. The fact that naturally occurring compounds can help with difficulty breathing has been known for thousands of years. One of these is ephedrine produced by Ephedra, a plant used in traditional medicine here and in China. 8/n

Ma Huang also known as ephedra it rocked

they should sell a night time tea called Difficult Bedtime or Challenge Sleeper and it would have ephedra and a shitload of b-vitamins in it

i mean, really. if you're not going to remember anything you learned in college, do it right. spend all your time hooking up and on drugs, THEN write all your papers in a 72-hour ephedra marathon like a normal reprobate

You should be able to buy ephedra in drug stores again
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

I mean… ephedra? Maybe?
saw that post about RFK unlocking all the forbidden medicines again so it looks like gas station salvia really is about to be back on the menu boys

For context Andro is the stuff that Mark McGwire took that made him look like a turtle and hit a bunch of dingers and Ephedra used to be stacked with caffeine as preworkout and made you go psycho mode.

Someone needs to get him to start taking ephedra.

I’m a total dork. First seedling from some Ephedra viridis seed germinating… really old seed, wasn’t sure if it was still viable. Other seeds are swelling and I think will germinate as well. #nativeplants

Yep! Ephedra/ephedrine used to be everywhere and OTC. At low doses, it’s not a problem.
