I wish Ephedra was still legal. Nothing like 20mg ephedra, 200mg caffeine and 100mg aspirin. I would kill for it. :lol:

You would be correct. The drug war is worth fighting IMO. Showing how much money the government could make really isn't a good arguement IMO. The gov could make a lot of money if they ran prostitution rings too.
