I'm in Louisiana and you can get the Stackers with ephedra at most gas stations and convienience stores. I've heard we are one of the last states to clear the shelves of ephedra products. I actually only know of one store that carries the ephedra free ones. I took one of my regular stackers before I went to work out and it gave me a nice little boost before my cardio, but I think I will only take the stackers before I work out.
