Ephedra is the botanical source for ephedrine and psuedoephedrine. These chemicals are the most common precursers to methamphetamine in small-scale operations by way of reduction reactions.
Making Methamphetamine which is often called meth is illegal. The chemicals used to make Methamphetamine are highly volatile and many meth labs have experienced a fire or explosion.

Ma Huang is the King of Ephedra, it is the Chinese name for the Ephedra Plant called Sinica which has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. And diet pills as well
Yes! Since Meth is made from it, if you take enough of it, you can eventually test positive for methampethamines. You can also test positive for meth if you take a lot of Sudafed and other cold medicines.
The government is constantly regulating and even banning ingredients people use to make Meth out of. In recent years, the banning of Ephedra, in addition the heavy regulation of over-the-counter psuedoefedrine.
They shouldn't do. Only if you've taken Meth/Amphetamine will you fail... Ephedrine wouldn't show on a regular drug test, but to be on the safe side just take the pack of Ephedra supplement pills you have to the test to show the tester what you've been taking.
My research has shown that ephedra extract is a derivative of the plant that has had the alkaloids removed. It is my understanding that the ephedra extract is not as strong as the alkaloids and is also legal in all 50 states. It was ephedra alkaloids that were banned in some states, although many states later reversed that decision. Ephedra Extract is a scam. You might as well go for Ephedra Free. The real ephedra has alkaloids. They are not illegal as long as it is used for nasal decongestion or as bronchodilators. People use it to lose weight or to gain extra energy too. However, they may have harmful side effects. Usually Ephedra Extract comes from plants like Ephedra Viridis or Nevadensis, those does not contain a certain Alkaloid that contains Ephedrine which is very effective for weight loss. Ephedra Sinica or Sida Cordifolia are 2 other Ephedra Plants both containing Alkaloids and therefore they are considered to be "real" Ephedra.
There are quite a few places where you can buy Ephedra. But watch out not all Ephedra is the same.
Yes, which is why it's on the DEA's list of precursor chemicals.
