When I was in High School- you could get a script fot them, from your doctor. They are just as widely used today, but now the doctors are all but out of the equation. If you were on, they would test your liver values, and monitor you the whole time. Now almost no-one tells their doctor what they are doing, if that was an option, maybe lesss people would help themselves. Additionally, it is only AFTER they were made illegal/schedule III that fakes and counterfits started showing up. Before that, it was all 100% pharmacy AS(at least from what I saw). Steroids have no negative societal impact, and the steroid laws have caused more people to hurt themselves than they have helped.
Aditionally allowing doctors to prescribe them again, may give drug companies to do research into AS, since little R&D has been done on them in decades!!
