Damned if i didnt dig these bushes up in my backyard,theyre all over my area. Are they worthwhile to extract?

      Pseudoephedrine     

Nevadensis contains no ephedrine- only pseudo (not that anybody here minds)

Or, at least, that is what Erowid's site claims.  Is there somebody who has the materials and instruments to verify this statement?

Act quickly or not at all.

      yes, they can be used.     

It will not be as good as the other ephedra, but follow the instructions in this thred, and it will work:

"the ephedra cure"
Post 522268 (18294: "The ephedra cure", Stimulants)

SWIC would also like to add that it also works with Sida Cordifolia. A birch rxn with the powder worked well, have not tried a red rxn with Sida cleaned by the ephedra cure.

      Available in Australia ?     

To the best of my knowledge the native Australian Ephedra has no alkaloid content, I hope i will be corrected !

      Thats not what I read somewhere...     

But I could bee wrong. Anybeez got any more on this? Steam distillation of plant material sounds feasible, if it did in fact have alkaloids present.
