There are plenty of people who have used 1AD to pack on 8-15 pounds of solid muscle in a 6-8 week cycle so just name the AAS of your choice. I am speaking from experience here, and I have plenty of AAS experience in my background.
Now we can debate sides vs. gains all day long but the fact and science is, that these compounds are hormones. So if you think steroids should be legal and prohormones illegal, there is just no rational basis for that argument.
I can't believe some people are not willing to acknowledge some of the work being done, for instance at Ergopharm and Molecular Nutrition, is innovative and resulting in some useful products - so what if they make some money in the process!! Do you think these products, or steroids in general, are going to get any cheaper once they are further outlawed and controlled?
I prefer business has the ability to innovate and create effective compounds, and I would rather they have the ability to continue to innovate. The consumer will ultimately decide which products are effective and which are not. Of course business wants my dollars, just like the medical community, rags, gyms, black market dealers, and everybody else. I just prefer to make my own informed choices about who gets it.
