About
Herbal Ecstasy
Is this stuff for
real?
First a note from out sponser -

Its easy to learn to grow using Spore
Syringes and getting good results with a
shroom kit. But trying
Herbal ecstasy and smoking herbal
smoke is alot safer than the real drugs. You can find them in
a headshop,
smokeshop along with useful
grow bags and mushroom
spore kits used to grow potent
magic mushrooms. But its necessary to have the right
growing information and reliable mushroom
information, reading up on
mycology information is very important to get results from your
shroom
kits. Using the legal alternative
drugs is much safer to experience legal
highs, legal extacy, ecstasy.
It's a fact: plants can get you high. From illegal
drugs such as marijuana and heroin, to the caffeine in a Starbuck's
Mocha Java Grande, there is a huge array of herbs and plant derivatives
which can alter your mind-state or heart-rate by affecting your
central nervous system and brain. For thousands of years plants
and herbs have been used as medicines, hallucinogens, stimulants
and sedatives. Many of the medicines and drugs we use every day
originally come from plants. Salicin, the active component in aspirin,
is derived from White Willow bark. Hemlock, the poison given to
Socrates for his death sentence, is a naturally occurring herb.
From the pleasant to the poisonous, herbs and plants have a long
and colorful history of interaction with the human body.
Does that mean products like Herbal
Ecstasy work?
Herbal Ecstasy does have an effect on the body and the mind. However,
it is not as potent as the street drug MDMA
Anyone who has ever tried both Herbal Ecstasy and the illegal drug
Ecstasy (MDMA) will tell you that there is a difference in their
effects. MDMA is a single chemical compound which has a powerful
effect on the central nervous system which can affect emotions strongly.
Herbal Ecstasy, on the other hand, is a combination of herbs which,
instead of affecting the way the mind perceives, basically acts
as a simple, yet effective, stimulant.
A stimulant?
Yes. The most "active" ingredients in most Herbal Ecstasy
is a Chinese herb called Ephedra sinica (or Ma Huang). This herb
has been used for thousands of years by Chinese herbalists as a
medicine and a stimulant. The juice of the berry was used to alleviate
respiratory problems, and today we continue to find it in asthma
medicines, bronchial dilators and decongestants. Ephedra also increases
basal metabolic rates and increases caloric burning during exercise.
Ephedra works by stimulating the sympathetic division of the nervous
system, acting in a similar fashion to amphetamines.
Mahuang, also known as ephedra sinica, is the plant source of ephedra,
and can be found in health food stores. Ephedra preparations (capsules,
tinctures, extracts and combinations) sold for their stimulant and
broncho-dilating effects can be found in health food stores and
from smart drug vendors (see Smartbomb.com). Pseudoephedrine, a
related pharmaceutical compound can be purchased over the counter
at any pharmacy, but is not a replacement for ephedra because of
its significantly different central nervous system effects.
Is Ephedra Safe?
When used correctly Ephedra is an effective stimulant. However,
ephedra can be dangerous to certain people. People with heart conditions
should not use Ephedra, and those who are overly sensitive to stimulants
should avoid it as well. Ephedra should not be taken with a MAO
Inhibitor (such as Nardil and Parnate), so those on anti-depressants
should not use it. But, if you are a healthy adult with no heart
problems, ephedra products should pose no serious health threat.
As with any drug though, it is always best
to check with your doctor first.
To sum up, Herbal Ecstasy is an effective, energy increasing, stimulant.
But it has nothing at all to do with MDMA.
