Well I bought some ephedrine at Popeye's the other day. It was only $10 so I figured I'd give it a whirl. The lady said it can be used on its own as a pre workout energy thing. I also heard later on from a friend that it doesn't work unless its stacked with something else like caffeine in which its more of a fat burner. What is the real truth? Am I wasting my time if I take it on its own. I was gonna try taking one or two before the gym along with my usual energy drink. Suggestions?
