Licorice extract is legal, and it activates the alpha receptors (which do all the good stuff) but not so much the beta receptors (which fuck with your metabolism and make you moody), or so I'm told.
There are risks tho. It can drop your potassium low enough to kill you but you won't notice any symptoms until dead. So make sure you let your GP know you're doing it and get blood tests frequently, or take Spiro (it's potassium sparing).
