You could buy Xenadrine and Hydroxycut off the shelf at Walmart or Mini-Thins at any shitty gas station in the 90s-early 2000s. That shite was legalized speed. We were popping them like candy in my early days in the military. On mission and have to stay up for 2,3,4 days... no worries, grab the ephedra.

The crash sucked arse but I wish I could still go down to the local Haji gas station and by a bottle of Mini-thins for $5. Good times...

You can buy it now

Edit: moronic way to get high. Ephedrine is much stronger peripherally (heart) than centrally (brain) and taking enough to get you high puts crazy strain on your heart

It’s safer to do cocaine or adderall

I dont remember this at all.

You can buy Xenadrine and Hydroxicut... but they don't have ephedrine in them. It was banned in the US.

Jesus, I remember Mini-Thins. Taken at about quintuple the recommended dosage, they worked like a charm.

I took Mini-thins exactly one time. My heart felt like it was beating out of my chest and I was on the verge of panicking. Since that experience, I'll never take any shite like that, energy drinks, etc ever again.

I had friends that had their own speed cocktails for working out, but not for me.

Ephedrine was temporarily banned but has been available again for over 15 years

Look up primatene

Edit: because it works much more peripherally than on the CNS, it can be bought over the counter as primatene for asthma as a bronchodilator

I took Sudafed all the time for colds. Now, you're a meth dealer if you do that.

I was ahead of the curve for one critical moment. I had heard hockey players were using it for performance enhancement. I cranked some before the bar exam and it got me through.

Bruh, how could you even function? All I could manage was to lie down on my podnuh's bed and either wait for the feeling to pass or die. I don't even think I took that many--like one or two.

I'm scared the shite out there now would have fentanyl in it.

Just looked and ephedra is still banned by the FDA. Some ephedrine alkaloids are allowed... but it's not the same stuff I'm talking about.

Idk i guess we just got used to it. Sometimes we'd have to stay awake for days at a time. Taking ephedra made you feel like you could run through walls. The worst part was when you stopped and you hit that wall.

I remember back in the day (90-91) where I as a young one, took mini thins. like 8 over a 4 hr period. I had so much energy, felt great, got home and remember laying on my parent's front porch, shirt off, seeing my heartbeat when looking at my chest. I loved the energy, but that night scared me off of them. When we are kids/learning/immature, we do some really stupid things.

It was one of the main ingredients in Surge.

It would make your heart explode if you took too much.

Yeah I remember that stuff. I bought a bottle of either hydroxycut, or xenadrine, but it made me feel like my heart was going to explode so I chucked it in the bin.
