Do you consider Steroids to be a drug?....

I'm in , too.

I consider steroids a drug...they certainly meet the criteria.

As far as them being a narcotic-type substance like the drugs your friend was comparing them to, that's not a strong position....they aren't narcotics.

As far as steroids being recreational drugs, yes, they certainly fit that criteria as well. Just because your recreation involves lifting weights and not dancing with glow-sticks doesn't make the drugs you take any less recreational. If you do them in pursuit of a recreational past time, they are recreational drugs.

anything that is abused and not tooken the right way, in my opinion is a " bad drug", in the sence you are refiring too, but offcoarse it is still a drug.

you can make up as many excuses as you want, but nothing is going to convince others to see our way.

I think that's a stretch. Because it's the past time that is the recreation. Not the drug. If that was the case then Viagra/Cialis would be a recreational drugs. Talk about performance enhancing drugs!

So by that logic, Ecstasy is not a recreational drug either? Dancing is the recreational activity (or going to raves, or whatever), and E is the drug?

I think that AAS are recreational drugs most of the time. They are part of a recreational lifestyle.

No it's not a drug in that sense. That was why the FDA, HHS, and the AMA testified that steroids should not be scheduled back in 91. They didn't meet the criteria of an addictive or "mind altering" drug. You know, like alcohol. Oh wait, alcohol isn't a drug. But as we all know, congress scheduled them anyways.

You can't become physically addicted to steroids and there is plenty of evidence to show that it's not a hallucinogen.
I know, you're going to say, "but what about Bigcracker's posts? Are you saying a straight person could think up that shit?" Okay well, maybe not.

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I'll admit many of my posts are inspired by 420. I view steroids not only as a frug but as a vice that's no different from the socially accepted vices many everyday/non gym goers have. Alcohol, tobacco, weed, coke heroin, E, LSD, Meth, Shrooms, Special K, Rx painkillers, Rx happy drugs like Paxil/Prozac, Rx sleep aids like Ambien CR, Rx boner pills, Steroids, Botox, sex, pornography, the internet, shopping, driving fast, gambling, and even religion-IT'S ALL DOPE!!! anyone that overindulges in any of things is gonna have probs, therefore anyone that chooses to do/use these things has no business pointing their fingers at anyone.

Sure, you'll never hear about a roid head busting down his dealer's door at 3 AM for a dbol fix, but roids are still drugs-illegal ones at that. "gimme just a few dbol pills man....I'll suck your dick!"
