Haha gotta love analogies but I'd have to agree that if we're putting it in terms of alcohol and drugs that tren would probably be more on the hardcore narcotics side. Not saying that taking test year after year just like beer wouldn't cause eventual damage, but in the here and now the potential sides of tren, night sweats, insomnia, etc. are much more similar to smack. All about risk vs. reward, if you're able to stomach the sides and it's worth it to you then that's your personal choice, just like how someone prefers alcohol or drugs, risk vs reward. I also feel the addict mind and the need for instant gratification plays a role in what compounds we choose as well.
