NewSwim Posted September 10, 2022 Hi, I'm located in Victoria and looking for some ma huang/mo huang/ephedra varieties. If prefer sinica but I'll be happy with any varieties at the moment. My preference are seedlings or shrubs for sale but I'd be happy with seeds or dried plant matter instead. Thanks guys, shoot me a pm if you can help me out.

Ickis Posted December 29, 2022 I really love this plant. I remember buying it legally in past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyzygy Posted December 30, 2022 Fascinating legal history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephedra_(medicine) I don't think the plant itself is prohibited? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldfishbrain Posted February 1, 2023 Well... it's quite possible the botanical Gardens in Melbourne might just have a specimen from which a small cutting might be discretely taken... Near the shrine of the four winds, if that helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyzygy Posted February 1, 2023 https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/cathine ^ Ephedra sinica shows up on this document, alongside Catha edulis as natural sources of cathine. I'm guessing cathine is what explains the effects of dried khat leaf, which may be a half-decent substitute for E. sinica? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
