It just doesn't make sense to me that anything is banned, period.
Yes it can be dangerous to some, not all. People have been endowed with a brain, so they can make intelligent decisions.
I will probably never take ephedra, but government interfering and banning yet another product they don't like is simplistic, and won't work, plus it just reeks of narrow-mindedness.

Let the government do our thinking and make our decisions for us. Yeah, good idea, because we all know they base all their decisions on common sense and an overwhelming desire to look out for our best interest.
