Stacker 2 = Tool of the devil.

[Guest J*ingus]

I've used Stacker (and other "herbal" energy boosters) on occassion, but pretty much only on long road trips where I'd fall asleep otherwise. And no, I couldn't just use caffeine, as I've drank so much Coke over the years that I'm damn near immune to the stuff. A couple of times I ended up taking four or five within a twelve-hour period and didn't suffer any ill effects, but then again I'm a rather hefty guy and am somewhat resistant to ingested drugs of all kinds.

I've used Stacker 2, and it really does work. I haven't really had problems with it, but stupid fatties end up killing themselves all the time.

 

A little blurb:

The American Heart Association has joined the chorus calling for a federal ban on ephedra, a herbal stimulant linked to serious side effects including heart attack and stroke (WN 14 Mar 03). A spokesman for the powerful ephedrine industry snorted that a ban would be "irresponsible," since the allegations against ephedra had not been "proven scientifically." That's the problem, isn't it? Neither has ephedra been proven safe. As a result of the 1994 Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act (DSHEA), the herbal market is totally unregulated: herbal products don't have to be proven safe or effective. But in the case of ephedra, the bodies are starting to pile up.

 

They've pulled it from shelves around here, so I guess I'm going to have to naturally energize myself (DAMMIT).

 

Hmm...

After Steve Bechler, who at one point pitched for the Os minor league team here, died because of ephedra, I decided I wouldn't touch any of the stuff like that.

I remember trying them because my best friend was on them. They made me jittery and gave me really bad mood swings. I was bitching at everyone for the slightest things. Needless to say I recommend NOT taking them.
