The victimless crime of pot use meets harmless illegal immigration

You're right. All testosterone replacement therapy is "ego-centric". If the medical community would just consult with you before establishing standards of care, mistakes like this wouldn't happen.

But you know, I can't help but get the feeling they're not going to call you anytime soon...

lol, an expert in hormone replacement i am not. the motivation for yours is what then? your ability to function in day to day life?

the same medical community that has given me my prescription for mm? why the dismissal of research into mm, and just marijuana in general? why so quick to dismiss other sources as stoner literature from doctors?

I already stated on another stoner thread that legally prescribed pot shouldn't be thrown into the same category as its illegal recreational use.

I hit a wall in my mid 30's. Got blood work done and had significantly low levels of test. Got setup on HRT and felt great within a year or so. I'm 40 now and average about one real "cycle" per year. The rest of the time I do small HCG-based maintenance runs until I dip low enough to justify another full cycle.

what would you call your one legitimate cycle other than "recreational"? if you would be willing to give up your joose it would probably mean that all teen joosing would stop lol. greater good remember?

edit: so i didnt fully read dipping down to below normal levels.

question, is joosing in your eyes only ok by script?

should we outlaw recreational cigs, alcohol?

I personally think anyone under about 35 who uses AAS without a very specific physician-supervised strategy is crazy. HRT and HGH needs to be part of an overall anti-aging and health strategy, not a way to look really good for this upcoming spring break. If a perfectly healthy 21 year old wanted a facelift and eyelid surgery we'd tell them they are nuts, wouldn't we? Same goes for AAS -- all in good time. So yeah, I think AAS use without a physician's prescription is a terrible idea.

should we outlaw recreational cigs, alcohol?

It would be too hard to get that ground back. Alcohol and cigarettes are already a lost cause. We've lost considerable ground against pot, cocaine, heroin, extacy, etc. etc. too, but it doesn't mean we should throw our hands-up and rubber stamp them by making them legal.

please provide proof for this, i'd imagine somesort of study was done?
and yeah, the ancedotal agruements are not definitive, but i'm seeing a trend here...a lotta people on this thread happen to know people (gasp!) that smoke weed and lead productive lives. it's not just a few people.
is it a concidence that myself, lestat, stilleto, all smoke/have smoked and aren't burnouts with no degreess?
we all have degrees, all fairly stable, and yet we blaze.
i think you are way overestimated weed...just like people can responsibly use AAS, they can responsibly use weed

I've been smoking since I was 13.
I graduated high school a year early, at age 16. graduated college at 20, and have worked 2 jobs most of my life until becoming a parent.
my kids are normal, healthy, happy, and clean.

i know a lot of parents that smoke- all professional people with families and nice cars/houses.

I actually like the "personal responsibility" argument for recreational drug use. In a vacuum, its very difficult to oppose. The problem is, we live in a day and age where people are being forced to subsidize other peoples' lifestyles. To me it looks like the concept of "personal responsibility" is a convenient card that gets played when a rule or regulation gets in the way of something that someone wants to do. Is it safe to assume these pro-pot "personal responsibility" advocates are also against nationalized healthcare? Nationalized pension plans (social security)? Subsidized housing? Because to me, personal responsibility is a pervasive philosophy -- not a pick-and-choose smorgasborg where you select only the options that feel right to each individual.
