Is this herb still available or legal to buy in dried form? (not as a supplement). Thank you.
reply: I was wondering the same thing. I would assume the plant is legal to buy and grow, and probably possess in dried form (granted it's not enough to suspect an eventual attempt to synthesize speed). Legal or not, you can buy seeds online; Enjoy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.237.80.90 ( talk) 19:12, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

@ Peter coxhead: Hello. I noticed you reassessed this plant's importance as "low" with the reason that it "not important". Would you mind elaborating? I think you may be misjudging this plant because the article is presently a stub.
Ephedra sinica has a centuries long cultural history primarily as a traditional medicine. It was also formerly the world's primary source for the medication ephedrine, and it remains commercially important as a multimillion-dollar industry despite synthetic ephedrine recently displacing it as the primary source. Comparatively, this seems more "important" than the many decorative plants like Acalypha hispida, Actinidia kolomikta, Aspidistra elatior, and Aeonium tabuliforme which are presently prioritised as "mid", so I'm not sure why you describe Ephedra sinica as "not important" rather than of "high" or at least "mid" importance.
