Sorry bro, it aint about knowing better or being right... its about scary words like "Steroids" and "Anabolic". Everybody knows steroids are "bad"... so anything that the government could be doing to prevent people from using them is good. When that is all the logic that is applied to the decision, making a solid, valuable, airtight arguement is pointless, because it isnt about who is really in the right. That is their argument, and it is right because they say so and voters dont like the word "steroid" any more than congressmen do. And because most voters dont use AAS, pro hormones, supplements, kill themselves each day in the gym... do ANYTHING that it would take to understand our persepctive from an experiential standpoint, or understand ANY of the biochemistry involved... this wont change anytime soon. The average person sees a real big, muscly guy and assumes that roided out fuck is just injecting this magic stuff into his veins that make him super muscley and crazy and aggressive with no additional work or effort, and with society paying the bill when he goes and kills his family or beats some guy to death at the bar. In essence, they dont know shit, but have a very strong opinion, and there are just more of them than there are of us... Im sure you know what I mean!
I know that we are on the AAS EF boards, so I assume we are all pretty much OK with AAS, and while I dont know anyone's views on marijuana, your example of a COMPLETELY indefensible policy being upheld and pushed forward is completely analogous to the marijuana legalization policy process. Neither any validated scienctific study, nor any member of congress, has been able to concretely prove ONE THING in over 80 years of study and debate to concretely link marijuana use to anything besides promoting a less motivated lifestyle, especially anything valid enough to justify Federal prohibition, but yet... unless you live in one of very few states who are actually VIOLATING the Federal statutes about use/cultivation by legalizing it... they may as well have proved BEYOND A DOUBT that it causes instant death upon the first use - because it would be just as illegal then, too. And honestly, even though weed doesnt neccessarily fit in to the generally otherwise very healthy lifestyle that seems to be common to us on these boards (even though I love the hell out of it!!), it also doesnt have NEAR the risk of adverse effects that steroids do, and it doesnt have the lack of direct studies that, Im sorry, continue to be a plague on the reputation of supplements, pro hormones, etc.
Steroids also do not enjoy widespread acceptance, which marijuana does. People hide that they do 'roids as fiercely as they would being on heroine or cocaine, but will openly advertise their love of weed. Point being... if that stuff is actually cool with pretty much everyone, and they STILL wont legalize it... Steroids, and anything that looks like them, will be illegal long into the future. Including that death gel FormaStanzol that NeedTo keeps peddling!! haha
Just my 2 cents
