i swear, there's nothing like it. i've tried so many other ephedra products, some with 27mg's isntead of 25, but nothing has that smooth kick and appetite suppression that stacker 2 did.
i wish i still had link to the place still selling it!

In response to renewed calls for the regulation of ephedra, the FDA commissioned a large meta-analysis of ephedra's safety and efficacy by the RAND Corporation. This study found that while ephedra promoted modest short-term weight loss, there was no evidence that it was effective for long-term weight loss or performance enhancement. The use of ephedra in this study was associated with significant gastrointestinal, psychiatric, and autonomic side effects.[38] Almost simultaneously, a study in Annals of Internal Medicine found that ephedra was 100 to 700 times more likely to cause a significant adverse reaction compared to other commonly used supplements such as kava or Ginkgo biloba.[5]
On December 30, 2003, the FDA issued a press release recommending that consumers stop buying and using ephedra, and indicating its intention to ban the sale of ephedra-containing supplements.[39] Subsequently, on April 12, 2004, the FDA issued a final rule banning the sale of ephedra-containing dietary supplements. Tommy Thompson, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, stated that "...These products pose unacceptable health risks, and any consumers who are still using them should stop immediately."
That and caffeine is the poor man's cocaine. Good for a quick boost, but I don't drink 3 pots of coffee a day anymore.

You must be mistaken.

The current Stacker 2 contains Caffeine (150mg per capsule), Cassia mimosoides, Kola Nut, and Yerba mate, White willow bark, Guggul, Green Tea, Gymnema & Magnesium.
There's ephedra-free...that must be what you googled up.
I can show you many websites that legally sell ephedra right now. The ban was overturned a year ago. Even under the 'ban' it was legal but not as a supplement, but only as an (unregulated) herbal relief for asthma.
Yeah Ephedra is legal again, but not widely used.... It's good as a fast-acting bronchodilator IIRC....but not safe if you've got heart issues.
Stackers always worked well for me too....the edge on them isn't as bad as a lot of others. For me personally, the stacker Blackjacks worked smoother and the comedown didn't leave me as jittery/anxious....I'm pretty sensitive to energy supplements.
