Reply #6: ephedrine was a common and legal drug until very recently

[pitohui]

it was made illegal because some numbnuts sports figure went out in the hot sun and died and they blamed the ephedrine

if it wasn't used for meth cooking when it was legal, abundant, and the basis for every MLM scheme with the word "herb" in it around then you are going to have to excuse my skepticism

you are thinking of the chemical pseudo ephedrine, most likely

perhaps prosecutors were too and this is the basis for the pardon

this person very well prob. never should have been jailed for anything
