Just thought I'd give you all the heads up to stock up on ephedra products if you use them. It got banned by the government this morning.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It hasn't been banned yet. It will be banned in just under 60 days so if you need Ephedra, you had better buy it now from any place that still has any ECA stack in stock.

So will it be banned from cough medicine too?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

No ephedra has always been available as psuedoephedrine in medicine and continues to be available for asthma relief. this is a really olllllddd thread. recently the supreme court has decided that the ephedra ban was unconstitutional (though i really should read the opinion before i say any more than that.) so its not legal yet but it may be Back on shelves soon

No.
The only things containing ephedra banned are those that have it in high dosages. Smalled dosages (in the double digits of MG's) are allowed.
Ephedrine, however, is still legal
Woo!
