narshh said:They have similar effect on the AS user to that of the non-AS user. I have to say that I take AS to pursue excellence in body often depriving myself of the comfort that I might experience by skipping cardio or passing on a workout. I eat what my taste buds would agree is not my first choice for meals, again depriving myself of this comfort in the pursuit of excellence. There are those risks associated with AS that I find acceptable when weighing against benefits.
If you are here in the AS forum you obviously have some interested in self betterment and you may deep down have the same level of interest in excellence that I do. With this as a given, why would you want put these rec drugs in your body when the carry arguably more unacceptable sides and the only thing that you will get from them is a temporary increased level of comfort (usually followed by an increased level of discomfort)? This is an equity trade that has no merit. If you are serious about achievement in the area of physical enhancement, run away from the polluting substances that offer harm without true benefit.
Take this as you will but it is meant to coercively help.
Your friend in health,

If you get the real thing, it is an incredible feeling, when you're with an attractive woman. If you are cut already it will make you ripped. When I did it, I was not on roids, hadn't done roids for 6-7 years (this was year 2000) and all I was taking was creatine and glutamine and Met-Rx and the rec drugs did not hurt me in the gym. But all I was doing was maintaining lean muscle. If you are trying to grow muscle or bulk up, coke and extasy are probably no good for your progress. For cutting up, I don't see a problem other than the obvious, health, legality, addiction. If T3 wont eat up your muscle on AAS, I don't think coke or x will either.badslinky said:Ecstasy, IMHO, is the worst drug... except meth, in the entire world. I dont know why anyone would do it.

anthony roberts said:Dispelling the "holes" theory:

However, this image was in no way a visual representation of the structure of her brain The SPECT scan actually measured the variation in cerebral blood flow in Lynn's brain. The 3-D image was then created by assigning a different color to different amounts of blood flow. How the graphic image looks is a matter of threshold effect on the image processing.
One can take any normal brain SPECT and lower the threshold (lower areas of blood flow assigned a low or zero level of color) , and one will see "holes" on the 3-D image. Conversely, you can also take the same image and adjust (increase) the threshold to "remove the holes". These are not absolute blood flow measurements. The "holes" simply demonstrate relatively lower blood flow compared to the entire brain. One cannot make any statements about whether it's normal or abnormal unless absolute blood flow measurements are made, which requires more sophisticated scanning procedures than were conducted on Lynn Smith.

http://www.dancesafe.org/48hours.html
One issue, however, must be clarified. The MTV program profiled a young woman who had been a frequent user of ecstasy and a number of other drugs. On the program, the woman's doctor displayed a brain scan which suggested that her brain was full of holes, implying that the "holes" resulted from ecstasy use. Below is a clarification of the meaning of the brain scan written by Rick Doblin, Ph.D. President of MAPS.
The recent MTV special on MDMA showed the results of a SPECT scan of a young woman, Lynn Smith, who had used a very large amount of MDMA. Lynn's doctors reported that her SPECT scan showed "holes in the brain" similar to what a scan would look like of an elderly woman who had had multiple small strokes.
The graphic image shown on the MTV special was a 3-D reconstruction of the SPECT image, which clearly showed dramatic and frightening holes throughout her brain. However, this image was in no way a visual representation of the structure of her brain The SPECT scan actually measured the variation in cerebral blood flow in Lynn's brain. The 3-D image was then created by assigning a different color to different amounts of blood flow. How the graphic image looks is a matter of threshold effect on the image processing.

Conversely, you can also take the same image and adjust (increase) the threshold to "remove the holes". These are not absolute blood flow measurements. The "holes" simply demonstrate relatively lower blood flow compared to the entire brain. One cannot make any statements about whether it's normal or abnormal unless absolute blood flow measurements are made, which requires more sophisticated scanning procedures than were conducted on Lynn Smith.
Dr. Linda Chang, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, has conducted a scientifically rigorous, controlled SPECT study in 21 MDMA users compared to 21 controls. [Chang, L. et al, Effect of Ecstasy ( 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine [MDMA]) on cerebral blood flow: a co-registered SPECT and MRI study. Psychiatry Research-Neuroimaging, Section 98 (2000) 15-28.]
The MDMA users in Dr. Chang's study averaged 211 exposures to MDMA, with a range of from 6-1500 exposures. The average amount of MDMA consumed was 13.1 grams. There were no significant differences in amount of cerebral blood flow between the MDMA users and the controls, either globally or in specific brain regions. Furthermore, none of the MDMA users showed any signs of stroke, as measured by MRI scans.
In Dr. Chang's study, 10 of the subjects were scanned again, after the administration of two doses of MDMA. Cerebral blood flow was reduced somewhat in some brain regions at two weeks after the last dose of MDMA. 2 subjects were scanned again after 10 weeks and were found to have elevated cerebral blood flow in some regions. Dr. Chang reported, "Our findings suggest that the initially decreased rCBF normalizes with time and may even increase above baseline at later time points."

DiggerDan3 said:Still an ignorant (read NOT dumb) statement. Here's why...
Speaking as a generalization, in this case, accomplishes nothing. Being a member of this board you probably are aware of the 'generalizations' that take place in the media regarding AAS use/abuse. For example, when the media uses the phrase 'roid rage', the issue with teens using AAS and depression or ephedrine causing heart attacks of healthy users. The media plays these issues off like every person who uses steroids will go on a killing spree or every user of ephedrine will die of heart attack, even if you're healthy. Everyone on this board knows this bullshit is simply not true.
I read this as a generalization about ecstasy users. Simply if you use ecstasy, even in moderation, your brain will have holes in it. Media/government propaganda at its worst.
U believe it cause 20/20 said so? If you do...then you are ignorant. To clarify what ignorant is...

Im not saying its the smartest thing to do because of the problems it can cause, but the pleasurable feeling is indescribable.

I feel ya on dancin with the devil. I was taking Dillis (hydromorphone, 6-8 times stronger than morphine) for only 3 weeks and had a month long withdrawl, lost 20lbs, couldnt eat sleep....i didnt think it could happen in that short of time, but i was wrong.
The good thing is its very diffictult to find for me and expensive, so i basically have no choice but to stay away. When im lucky enough to find some, its on a few, off a few.
Never tried, X, cant find any Pure MDMA and am scared of a heart attack from all the other shit in it nowadays.
Still, nothing lets you unwind like opiates, the best feeling for real.

Sure........
Dont even debate or class roids in the same category as recreational drugs.
Destroyer1986* said:Never once did I deny that bodybuilders do reccies. I did not say I hate them, I said I hate what the drug does. Its after effects.
Big crack dont even try justify your reasoning of why you think reccies are less dangerous than gear, or even classify them in the same boat. Talk like this should be banned from the board all together and for a good reason. Sounds like you are promoting them!
BigCracker said:Banned? LOL! Banning me for my candid viewpoints on different vices we all possess would be equally as ridiculous as banning you for having arms and quads that are the same size.
We all take risks, some people are just more prone to tempt fate with some things than others. For some AAS use may be far more damaging than using recreational drugs and vice-versa.
Destroyer1986* said:I never said you should be banned, hold on there. I said this type of talking should be banned, which co-incidently it is and for a good reason.
You think my quads are the same size of my arms? LOL, ok.
BigCracker said:Maybe they're not-but I doubt your pic would be cropped at the waist if you were sportin' the quadzillas.
And banning the talk of recreational drug use here when so many AAS users are curious about the consequences of mixing them w/ AAS would only comprimise the quality of 411 on this board.
And if you think about it, the general public's view is that a needle is a needle-whether it's roids or heroin most people view them as the same status on the loser-meter. If it weren't for threads like this people would continued to be uninformed and unable to make their own unbiased judgements.
Also, the argument that rec drugs can kill you from an OD is true. However many AAS users use insulin to enhance their gains-one fuck up with that and they'll be pushing up daisies just like the junkie that OD's on tar heroin. So the roid lifestyle doesn't always come without risk of accidental death either.
Destroyer1986* said:This isnt general public, as for my leg size well. Judge for yourself. Reason its cropped at the waist is because im not a plat member and only allowed 100x100pixels.
Do not even throw insulin in the same category as AAS, its a different compound and works differently.
Im all for warning AAS users the dangers of reccies but when someone comes along and preach's that the feeling you get is absolute bliss then im going to get pissed as I feel its been promoted when all we are trying to do is improve our physiques not destroy them.

Bro, no one is recommending or condoning illegal drug use. Be careful. All it takes is one time to get caught by the police and you are now in the system for life. Be careful. Extasy, if it is the real thing (hard to find 6 years ago, not sure of now), is really amazing, but it can only be enjoyed in the company of others. Worth trying but a care-free attitude about drugs can get you into trouble and even drastically alter the course of your future. Most people who abuse are eventually scared straight (if they are lucky) or fuck up their futures. Remember the haunting message of the Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz movie, Vanilla Sky ... our decisions have consequences that we have to live with. And, while every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around, there comes a moment when one bad decision can be fatal, from which their is no more chance to turn it all around. Your enthusiasm right now about doing strong pain killers for recreational use is like running in the dark. Enthusiam without knowledge is like running in the dark.bigrand said:Thats it, im only 24 and feel like i still need to get some of this shit out of my system......ive never done X but will soon, as well as get some opiates.....will use in moderation though.
Which do you prefer? Hydrocodone (i can get 2.5mg tabs) or dihydrocodeine (25mg tabs)? I would LOVE hydromorphone, but way to hard to get so ill stick with above.
Ive met some folks who make me want to experiment again....im all excited and shit!
