i believe you can get hydoxycut with ephedra on ebay, but i dont trust ebay for shit anymore. Ive tried to buy three things off ebay, and have been ripped off all 3 times with shitty/fake products.
i dunno about LA, but in NC you can buy ephedrine at gas stations. Add in 200mg caffeine that you can get at any drug store or grocery store, some 81mg asprin once a day, and you got yourself something equally good, if not better, than hydroxycut with ephedra.
