Why are Steroids Illegal?

[lifthard2005]

I will tell you why. It is because the government doesn't want to be over-powered. It is because people make and seel the shit and don't give any to the government, in ways of taxes. It is because of the misunderstood hrror stories blamed on steroid use. If a guy gets arrested jacked up on cocaine, and also has steroids in his system, then the steroids get the blame. "Oh, but he is on steroids". It is becuase we might outrun them, or over-power the fatass cops that sit in parking lots bullshitting, stuffing their faces with crap, and being 10 times thew size they were when they passed the pyhsical to become a cop.

Why is more effort put into nabbing steroid users/dealers, but when I drive to work, I pass the same gang bangers selling crack and heroin day in and day out? Why does the DEA put forth more effort on people who are using roids to improve their looks, their confidence, and their own well being in their own homes, but drive past the guy stealing the car in broad daylight?

We are sterotyped because some idiot decided to try steroids and fucked up, and of course that reflects on all of us why? If a doctor performs malpractice on a patient, do we stereotype the entire medical field? NO! If you get ripped off on an auto repair, do we sterotyped all mechnics as con-artists? NO!

We are basically stereotyped because if one is an abuser, then they all must be. Now they're banning legal supplements too? Where do we live? What happened to our freedom? It seems more and more like how the soviet union once was. Dictatorship. I bet if President Bush became real sick, and needed help, and the only way to help him get better, if they would prescibe him steroids to save his life, Then it would be ok, right?

 

[xrsist]

good point

 

[SLAYER69!]

Also steroids are banned because they work. Just like when the Govt. found out that prohormones actually worked, they made them illeagle. If we find out that eating squash was as good as d-bol, then you would go to jail for possesion of squash.

 

[lifthard2005]

no shit

 

[bmcadoo44]

they do not want kids getting theyre hands on steroids and ruin their lives.

There's billions in the sports industry. If they weren't illegal, baseball would have Dorian's slugging the ball two miles away.

Okay, a slight exaggeration, but between the Olympics, sports entertainment business and the billions involved in both, it's not really rocket science to figure out why they're scheduled (and not exactly a high schedule at that).

Kids don't need to be screwing with their hormones at early ages, either.

 

[xrsist]

i dont know what its like in the states but here its easier for a teen to get hold of some coke or meth than steroids, i know if i was told my child had a problem with drugs id prefer to find out it was steroids rather than coke or meth..

Comparing one harmful substance to another doesn't do much good.

Kids will use illegal narcotics, just as they will use illegal steroids. Both are harmful to a child in different ways.

OVERCRMINILIZATION of AAS is just really out of proportion.

Am against most it not all drugs, but the AAS overcriminilzatrion is just NOT fair to those on HRT, or who are chronically low on testosterone at a young age.

Dude steroids are dangerous drugs. That is why they are banned. It is not some greedy government plot because they are missing out or whatever your talking about. It is because steroids are powerful hormones and if used incorrectly they can do serious damage.

In addition, steroids are more addictive to cocaine in my opinion and I know from personal experience. Cocaine gets old but steroids only make you look better and better.

Legal supplements like Superdrol? I got more sides from that stuff than I have in anything else i've used that isn't legal. It is banned because it is just as harmful, if not more, than illegal steroids.

And if YOU became sick and steroids were the only way for you to survive of coarse they would prescribe them to you. Steroids have their place in the medical field as well under doctor supervision.

This is why they are illegal. If used by morons or kids they can do irreversible damage.

 

[juicer99]

Steroids should be like ciggarettes and alcohol. Lets teach kids that their evil but still allow adults access. Will they fall in the wrong hands? Yes, but they already I have. (I was juicing at 17)

It is simply unfair for some drugs to be ok but others are not, its discrimination.

 

[Big Rick Rock]

In my opinion:

Steroids should be regulated by the Gov as with any prescription drug. As any prescription drug that doesn't cause dependencies or has the potential to be abused as a party drug.

As far as Steroids being criminalize and prosecuted under the same penalties as crack/cocaine, Heroin, Extacy and others... I think it is 100% WRONG

Steroids does not directly contribute to street crime. And even at a personal level, a person can use steroids every day for a year and never have any issues with their job(the same cannot be said for ANY narcotic). The great majority of steroid users are Professional Americans who maintain a job and pump money into the economy daily.

[Big Rick Rock]

I'm sorry but to answer your question:

Steroids are still illegal because we do not stand up and use the democratic system to make change.

Steroids are still illegal because we hide in the shadows at the first sign of trouble, instead of uniting and telling our government to stop putting in jail its professional tax-paying citizens for steroids and focus instead on the welfare-collecting junkies it supports daily.

Basically, until somebody stands the fuck up and starts a movement to use democracy as a way of getting Washington to changes its policies... We will have to keep hiding.


Thats why steroids are illegal.

 

[mr.nitro]

why are piranha's illeagle in massachuetts
why do I have to wear a helmet when I ride my motorcycle, or bicyle
why do I have to wear a seatbelt
why are large snakes banned in massachuetts
why are ferrets banned in cali?

its all bs if you ask me

BRR good posts

 

[Cobra1]

As always BRR is dead on corect!!

Anybody that thinks its because they are dangerous or because they want to keep them out of the hands of childern is JUST LIVING IN LALA LAND!

Its all about 2 things: The Smoke and Mirrors(illusion of security)
and money. We have no lobby group pushing for legalization.

If someone would start a movement, I'd join. Im not ashamed!!!

australia has the most draconian steroid laws on the planet, my guess is that it's probably due to the popularity of competitive swimming which is rife with aas abuse.

Bro, you got it all wrong. Any 12 yr old can go into Walgreens and buy a bottle of Aspirin, take the whole bottle, and kill themselves because it will eat a hole in the lining of their stomach causing them to bleed to death internally. A kid can also go into GNC and buy a bottle of potassium supplements, eat the whole bottle-causing them to die of a heart attack. What happens if a kid takes a whole bottle of 100 5 mg dbol pills? Probably nothing but a little nausea, but it definitely won't kill him. There's no doubt a kid using roids is a bad thing, but it's not the reason they are illegal. The reason they're illegal is because that fat ass old guys with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other are the ones that make the laws. They know very little about roids and fear the idea of people actually using them responsibly, reversing the aging process and improving their health. They choose to make them illegal because of fear and ignorance. Back in 1990 before The Anabolic Steroids Control Act went into effect, the DEA didn't even want steroid possession made into a felony. They already had enough drugs on their list that they couldn't control.

The reason people get busted for roids is because they are the low hanging fruit. Users are walking advertisements screaming"I'm a buffed roid using felon" making them easy targets to spot. To make matters worse, many roid users have never been in trouble for drugs before and they're unfamiliar with our legal system. This means when they do get busted that they are more likely to admit guilt and cooperate with the cops, which leads to stronger cases against them and more arrests of others. Recreational drug users are less likely to do this because they're more likely to know what to do when 50 catches them with their hand in the cookie jar.

As far as regular supplements/prohormones go, I laugh at the self righteous natural guys that use these supplements and think there is no risk. Most supplements like Creatine, etc have only been around for like 10-15 years, and nobody knows what the long term effects of their use are. Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it's safe(ex: cigs/booze). At least roids have been around 60-70 years so we're aware of what the risks of use are short/long term. So the real human lab rats are the ones taking every legal prohormone/supplement under the sun. Not the juicers.

As far as addiction goes, you can get addicted to anything. Alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs, Dr prescribed Rx drugs, sex, gambling, food, the internet, internet porn, regular porn, shopping, video games, religion, driving fast...it's all dope!!! Anyone that overindulges in any of these things is gonna have probs. So everyone is at risk to be addicted to something in some way, shape, or form. Add roids in particular to that list and they are no more predisposed to abuse than anything else. It's up to us as individuals to keep these things in check. The weak minded dumbasses are the ones that require that the govt saves us from ourselves-forcing the rest of us to have to risk the penalties of breaking the law as a result of our actions.

became real sick, and needed help, and the only way to help him get better, if they would prescibe him steroids to save his life, Then it would be ok, right?

nope it would still not be ok. double standards bro apply when your that rich and powerful.

it doesnt matter we can all get them obviously. i think they should be illegal....the U.S. community is becoming too superficial to have steroids legal...for example, supplements like creatine, NO and protein have a bigger market than ever now because the ideal male body for a young teenager is abnormal amounts of muscle mass and an 8 pack on his stomach. girls and guys alike both believe this is the best way to look. christ i see fat girls that look like shit half the time reject average looking guys because they want that greek god look in a guy. if younger people start getting their hands on test and dbol at their local gnc there will be countless cases of gyno issues, fucked up hormone levels and blood pressure and other health issues that young guys in highschool should not have to deal with because they will be thinking "fuck research i gotta get huge and ripped!!" they will be starting out with steroids rather than baby-stepping with knowledge of how to train eat and supplement correctly and look for that instant gratification.

 

[Big_Joe]

I don't think anybody has given the right answer. I think they are illegal because they upset the point spread in sports gambling. If a third string player can work out for a year and use roids that help him bat the ball over the fence every time the bookies can't keep track of who is going to win based on past perfomance. It changes the whole playing field and organized crime starts to lose on it's bets. Belive me they are the ones that control the laws in this country. They are the ones with the most money and power to control who is elected and what they do after they are elected.

 

[krbn08]

A gun, can commit murder and a gun can save a life.
Marijuana, can cause cancer or it can help cure it.
An atomic bomb, can win a war or it can destroy everything you love.
Steroids, can destroy your body or they can cure muscular diseases

In the end, it matters who is using it and how they're using it.
If you abuse steroids, your the reason it's banned.
If you abuse Marijuana, your the reason it's banned.
If you abuse a gun and kill people like Virginia Tech shooting, your the reason it's going to be banned . . .

Just like school, one person can ruin it for everybody . .
Ex. "Stay after class everyone because of lil Joe over there."

In my opinion, they should punish those abusing.
Personally, abusing is using it when you don't NEED it.
So yes, to the Gov. we are abusers if we are using them
for the sole purpose of our looks . .

The real things that need to be banned is . .

High fructose corn syrup, sweets, cake, pudding, pie,
Mcdonalds, anything fast food . .because these things
contribute to a bigger problem than not having muscle . . . Obesity in america.

 

[zk7]

It's funny, Estrogen for women is not illegal but Testosterone is.

Things that work, that improves the population's sense of awareness, confidence and ability to oppose the Neo Conservative Cabal and the Mass Propaganda by the Media of the junk products they push on T.V.

THat's why the Government approves the Diet that makes everyone Fat, because having a fat population is good, sure it hurts productivity, but they rather lose billions in productivity than gain trillions in feeding this population bullshit of all kind.

Do the math.

IF your strong, confident and happy, you will become politically Active eventually.
If your a fat slob, being politically active IS TOO MUCH WORK and frankly who cares?
your too depressed to care, and all you care about is your miserable life and YOU DONT WANNA fix the nation when you cant even fix your life.

Thats the Key of psychological warfare.

Stay strong.

STEROIDS ARE NOT ILLEGAL .!
They are only illegal with out doctors script many people all over the usa are on steroids.

The reason they were clasified as a controlled substance is becuase people were abusing them. High schools in the late 80's were full of d-bol in the locker rooms.Every gym had dealers circling young adults age 18-19 tempting them with steroids.
My buddy rick back in 1982 got a free cycle at age 17 a dealer gave him dbol and test for free to get him into the life style it worked and every time rick brought him another buyer he got free dbol and deca.
pretty soon rick told me he had almost the entire weight lifting class on roids at his high school.while he got free gear for almost 2 years.

As rick grew up into a middle aged adult rick told me at age 28 back around 1990 he did the same thing offered freebies sold to anyone that had money
kids that didnt have money would steal stereo equpiment,tools or what ever they could trade to him then he had another kid pawn it off for cash.

Rick explained to me that he would have kept doing this and not give a shit untill 1991 came along .He discribed him self as a mullet headed juiced up dealer that drove around in a brand new 1991 irocz . Well he got popped with alot of drugs did jail time paid fines and never touched the shit ever again.
people talk that was his mistake he said selling to to many people and the money was so good he just didnt want to get out untill he was arrested .

Rick discribed that 1993 through 1997 were very cold years for steroid users lots of fakes around lots of guys switched over to mexican vet gear and kept things real low under cover you only had a connection in the gym if you knew the right people and they trusted you steet values were high 200mg of test 10cc would bring as high as 150$ in the gym.Deca was almost double for norandgren (mexican brovell deca.
few guys ordered on the net but not alor of people had internet back then

Things started changing around 1998-2000 internet really opened up the steroid world the drugs were eazier to find and have mailed right to your front door.

the steroid world today is almost as big as it was back in 1985 rick said every gym has tons of guys jacked the drugs come to your front door and are eazy and cheap to get.I noticed it also.

i really think we have it really good now and need to take full advantage becuase things are gonna change for the worse laws will get tougher and the govt will crack down and put us back into the old steroid depression back from 1993- 1997 where the shit is way over priced again

 

[Gambino]

Steroids are still illegal because we do not stand up and use the democratic system to make change.

.

i have to lol at this...i guess less than .5% of the pop would vote for legilzation of roids...

 

[zk7]

The democratic System is irrelevant and always been.

What you need is to bribe Big Pharma to release a new study saying This hormone or that hormone helps fight against this disease or that disease.

That will legalize things. And by the way, there was a study I read online that found that Male Lab Rats who had Low Estrogen Levels were found to be "Obsessive Compulsive", they would do things excessively, like wash themselves excessively or comb themselves excessively and when Estrogen was given to the Male Lab Rats, the Obsessive Compulsive behavior vanished. They said this treatment only worked for Male Rats not Female Ones.

Which held promise for Hormonal Treatments for even Mental , Anxiety Disorders and other disorders. Which means Hormones play a HUGE role in many things and not just building muscle, which means Steroids=Hormones will become legal again as science evolves.

steroids /hormones are already legal under a doctors script. only a doctor can treat a disease .so if they prove steroids hormones treat a disease then they will always remain perscriptions.

i think you guys are getting confused with the controlled subsatnce vs illegal


what you guys are really intending that needs be done is making steroids a (controlled subsatnce) a OTC drug that you can buy with out a script .
becuase right now steroids are legal in every sate with a script.

drugs like ghb, ruffiesand heroin have been banned and will never be allowed ever even with a doctors script so they are actually illegal to have at all times.
thats the difference.
