Oh yeah, the internet has changed things around the gym as well. Back in the early 90's after roids became a scheduled drug it was almost impossible to score roids on the black market. If you weren't already huge, gym dealers were scared to even talk to you because of all of the undercover cops trying to set them up/bust them. Guys regularly approached the big guys trying to score roids. I could see it coming a mile away. First some guy would ask me for a spot. Then after they were finished they'd ask "hey man, can you get me some...?" It was really annoying. Like I'm going to commit a felony as a favor to some complete stranger? Guys that were willing to sell to strangers could make a mint by selling B-12 tabs to these guys in an empty A-50 bottle for $300. Now anybody can hide behind their keyboard and find a domestic source without getting an ass whooping or verbal reprimand.
Another thing that most young guys don't know is just how much the price of roids has gone up since the early 90's. Here's what I used to pay in 1989 for a few common roids-these are street prices, so in quantity they had to cost even less:
