In the western United States, a stimulant tea was brewed from a different Ephedra species, the herb Mormon Tea (E. nevadensis), so called because it was not proscribed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, although a recent report suggests that New World Ephedra lacks
phenethylamine-related alkaloids (Caveney et al., 2001).

Not sure I had ever heard of "Mormon Tea" before.

If you read pioneer journals and histories of the Utah settlements, you'll run into it. I'm sure it hasn't been in anything correlated for a long time, though.

When I was a boy scout in Las Vegas, we would frequently find it up in the mountains around that area. Never made " mormon tea". I quit boy scout when they guys were snorting cocaine on camping trips.

I am sure you can integrate that stuff, which is found everywhere into some diet pill and make a ga-gillion dollars. A sell your soul.
