And just like the nut they are nothing more than a mild stimulant. Indians grow the trees here in the US and share the leaves. Though they are a controlled substance and probably shouldn't be there is also little interest in going after anyone growing them.
Of course you can't buy ephedra anymore in the health food stores but that plant grows wild all over the place. You just need to know how to look for it. Some people have it in their gardens and don't know it is there. Very useful plant if you have a cold coming on and the foolish government is quite fascist when it comes to purchasing the synthetic version at your local drug store.
