Why is this stuff illegal anyway??

[testosaurous]

I am not a conspiracy theorist.. but I believe alot of the reason Steroids were made illegal ... and so much effort is made to keep them illegal.. is because big money (ie, the pharmaceutical industry.. fast food industry.. etc.. ) wants our population to get fatter and fatter.. sicker and sicker.. cause that's where they make their money.. and anything that contributes to building health and well-being is targeted to at least be ridiculed in the media (owned by the same people) or in the case of Steroids.. made illegal to keep it out of people's hands...

I was just wondering what others think.. especially after the bullshit that our government has pulled the last year or so going after steroid users/ suppiiers....I am really fed up with this shit...what does everyone else think bout this???

aside from political issues, it does protect a lot of people that wouldn't know how to take them properly

i just thank everyday (touch wood) that steroids are totally legal where i am, i think they should be legal anywhere to posess with a prescription because all the pointless timewasted bollox of completely outlawing them in places such as the U.S hasnt made a blind bit of difference in anybody obtaining them any less, its probably made people want to get hold of them more on a thrill basis aswell as for improvement becauae of it.

If they did sell them in the US, more education for the people taking them would be available so people would be able to take them properly. Just like any other drug sold over the counter or given by a doctor.

I wonder will there ever be cessation of steroids from overseas? If this happens I'm packing my bags with passport and vaccination card in hand! LOL

I personally think that instead of trying to outlaw it and make it illegal to sale/use they should focus more on educating those that do use it so that they arent misusing or abusing steroids. I mean cigarettes kill more and more people every year and they havent done a thing about it. Alcohol also causes many wrecks, shootings, muders etc.... and they havent done much about it either. just my opinion

 

[xxjaredxx]

There's a greater market though for cigarettes and alcohol.....sad but true.

Part of the reason they're illegal is that not everyone will use them responsibly, and in fact, most people would abuse them. If anything, big pharma would LOVE to have them legalized, as they would charge a hell of a lot more for them, and on top of that, think of the other drugs they could prescribe in conjunction with gear:

anti-hypertensives (which make us a HUGE, and I can't stress that enough, HUGE market share)
anti-depressives
anti-acne agents
anti-balding agents
drugs to combat estrogen
reconstructive surgeons could have bitch-tit clinics popping up everywhere!
hairloss clinics would be booming!

Oh, and think of the burden on the health care system. I'm being facetious, but honestly, there is money to be made one way or the other.

Cheers

No, anabolic steroids were not scheduled as controlled substances because of some conspriacy to keep people fat and sick.

If you want the full story, get Rick Collin's book Legal Muscle. He explains that the two major reasons that senators used to justify banning steroids were 1) to keep sports pure, and 2) to protect the children. Just a few years before steroids were banned, there were some major steroid scandals in sports, including Ben Johnson's 1988 Olympic sprinting victory. Senators wanted something to fight for, and who doesn't want purity and fairness in sports and protection for the children. Still, the AMA, DEA, and HHS all testified that steroids do not meet the defiinition of a controlled substance. That all argued that anabolic steroids should not be scheduled. However, congress disregarded this expert testimony pushed ahead.

As Rick Collins explains, neither of the groups targeted (athletes and children) are ever really affected by the law. Athletes might test positiive, but that's not illegal. They're essentially never prosecuted for steroid possession. Athletes are using steroids as much as ever. The law has been a complete failure. Unfortuately, the overwhelming majority of steroid prosecutions involve middle aged men who don't play any sports and who are using steroids for physique enhancement. That's a group that the law was never intended to target back when steroids were banned, but that's involved in the majority of steroid prosecutions. The scheduling of steroids by pompous and self-righteous senators has been a major failure.

Yeah you right! Some guys want to get the steroids for recreational use to boost what their already using! That's fucked up!
