Banning Ephedra - Good or Bad?

Tweet

Back when Ephedra was legal, I used an ephedra based dietary supplement to help me increase my heart rate while exercising. I drank TONS of water and used the medicine very responsibly. I shed over 30 lbs! Now It's so much harder for me to lose. The ephedra based meds are a thing of the past. I'm trying to lose weight that I've kept on since my toddler was born. I need to lose at least another 45LBS I know there were people who did die because they misused Ephedra. I feel like if something is misused it should be sold behind a counter to people who are over 18 and limit one item per purchase. I don't think it's fair to pull it from the market when it could have helped so many other people, responsible people. I have a hard time reaching my target heart rate for cardio exercise. I have low BP and having something to increase that # by a little bit sure did help. Can anyone recommend something with limited ephedra that's legal ? Or something that has no ephedra and REALLY works? I just want something for a few wks to a month. That's how long of an interval I used ephedra (then Stacker 2's ) I am very careful with meds and feel that drug abusers ruin things for all of us. What is your opinion on Ephedra? Is it good or bad? Do you judge the way people handle dangerous things (ie Guns, drugs, internet etc..) or do you Judge the item being misused? For me, I'd judge against the people who misuse dangerous things.
