I'm not giving any money to "legalizing steroid fund" give me a break--they SHOULD be illegal--and just cuz i have different views doesnt mean i am cowering it means i am looking out for the well being of others..If this somehow did happen and steroids was legalized then someone would start a organization for legalizing crack...whoever started this post doesnt sound to bright considering he mispelled half his words and he obviously only thinks of sticking needles in his ass--to me there are much much more important things to worry about then legalizing steroids so if you want money go rob a bank
Ok, I’m ignoring the fact that robbing a bank is highly illegal and yet you're recommending someone goes out and robs one to get funds for something they believe in, and the obvious misspellings and missed punctuation. I’m also ignoring the fact that only the MALE steroids are controlled by the Steroid Control Act. You can get female steroids all you want. As a matter of fact, girls of the age of puberty and up are GIVEN steroids for birth control. Either by their parents, or by planned parenthood organizations.
Steroids are NOT “illegal”. (See previous comment about female steroids) I’m not sure why you believe that they should be illegal, but that’s not important. Anabolic/Androgenic Steroids are a Schedule III controlled substance in the U.S. I am presently taking steroids LEGALLY, since I’m on HRT. I have a doctor’s prescription and go through regular blood tests and exams by my doctor for side-effects and potential complications. Heck it’s all even paid for by my medical insurance.
AAS do not belong on Schedule III. They should never have gone on Schedule III. The politics and other crap that went on to pass the Steroid Control Act is a large amount of old boy networking in congress and grandstanding news stories by the media.
I have a large difficulty getting appropriate treatment for Hypogonadism primarily because my primary care physician has little or no knowledge about how to treat it, and the knowledge she does possess isn’t accurate. The notion she has of AAS is one of stark terror, prostrate cancer and roid rage. Which means I’m seeking out other routes to get my testosterone up to an appropriate level, as well as make sure my balls don’t shrink to the size of a gerbil. I wouldn’t even have known a bit about AAS if it hadn’t been discovered at a yearly physical that I have the testosterone level of a woman. My doctor’s ignorance forced me to do enough research on it to know what should be done for my body. That research also brought me to this lovely place.
AAS are not on the same playing field as crack, LSD, codine, morphine and the likes of other drugs on Schedule III. They didn’t belong on there before the act was passed and they don’t belong there now. Even the governments own studies by the DEA and HHS made recommendations AGAINST them being Schedule III.
