Up until last month I was able to buy true ECA stacks. Now I can't find them anywhere, but I wasn't aware of any laws that actually passed, just all sorts of pending legislation.

Did something actually pass? I need my ECA :(

They're still available here. Saw them in the gas station this morning when I was grabbing breakfast on the way to campus.

no banning that I know of yet....but many stores are trying to avoid potential lawsuits from the people that shouldn't be taking it.

I have used it on and off for years. Let's me drop about a pound a day on average (about 2x what can without it).

I have two unopened bottles of metabolift by twinlabs still.

In this county it is illegal for retailers to sell more than X quantity to an individual within 48 hours. I don't remember exactly, but it added up to be about 2 or 3 regular sized boxes of drugs that contained psuedoephedrine or ephedrine (like Sudafed). It can be used to make meth, and several of the nation's top ten meth producing cities are in this area. :)

In case someone is thinking ECA is a new drug created for one purpose that is not true.

Ephredrine is the same dosage and makeup Primatene Asthma medication minus guaifenesin

Primatene: Each tablet contains ephedrine hydrochloride, USP 12.5 mg and guaifenesin, USP 200 mg.
a typical ECA tablet: Each dosage should contain about 24mg of ephredra from a standardized portion of Ma Haung extact (so much Ma Haung yields X amount of ephreda).

Then 200mg of caffeine is added to each dose to produce a thermalgesic effect.

The aspirin is of no real weight loss value, but it helps with the increased nasal activity (post nasal drip happens with some people) to combat the headache.

Now the problem was and still is people are taking 40mg+ at a time....this is one of those drugs that at 20/200mg you are obtaining the full benefit....sort of like anesthesia....so much you are unconscious thats all you need....however keep raising the concentration and soon you will go into coma or cardiac arrest or ??? death would be emminent.

Removing Ephredrine from the shelves is another case of the stupid asking the government to step in and prevent more stupid people from dying.
