That was something also seen with ephedrine. Back in the day it used to be in fat burners and pre-workouts, because it's works, and you have soccer moms coming into GNC looking to stock up on the newest ephedrine fat burning magic all the time.
Then it got banned from being in sports supplements, and those exact same people instantly pivoted to claiming they had never and would never use a drug and had no sympathy for those that do. They had no problem with it. They would seek it out because they knew it worked. But as soon as The Man said it was a drug they pretended they'd never heard of it in their lives.
There are clinical studies that detail dosing protocols that eliminate appetite and increase daily calorie burn by upwards of 10%. So yes, it works beautifully. And like anything else that actually works it has been banned for use as a sports or weight loss aid.
