watch vid here Answer question: What gives the U.S. government(or you through the U.S. government) the right to tell a healthy adult male, who isn't involved in competitive public sports, that he cannot take anabolic androgenic steroids even though he has weighed carefully the risks/rewards of doing so? It's not illegal, it's controlled - just like amphetamines and antibiotics. Not that I necessarily agree. |

For the same reason that other drugs are illegal.
Also, steriods can't simply be stopped without serious issues. You have to step down properly...and start taking other drugs at the end of your cycle. Not a recreational thing at all. You MUST know what you are doing. |

It's because they are scheduled by the FDA. They were legal into the '80's They are legal in most other countires. Including Canada and Mexico. ETA: You can buy ventrinary steriods which are legal to own as long as you are not using them on yourself  Google Finaplix

Not to hijack, but I've been meaning to post this here anyway. I saw Ephedra mentioned a few posts above. I just have a question about the true risks of Ephedra usage. I know that it was banned because a few young guys had heart attacks. But what are the honest risks? I mean does "normal" Ephedra usage cuse any long term damage to the heart or does it just happen to kill people some times? I'm sure that some of the folks that have died were overusing it, combining it with other shit or what ever. And I'm sure some had some underlying heart problems to begin with. I also know that millions of folks have used it throughout history and not died. So if I get myself on a EAC stack and use it appropriately, assuming that my blood pressure, cholesteral, etc are all normal, am I going to hurt myself over the long term? I'm really not too concerned about dropping dead on the floor of Gold's Gym, but I don't want to find out at age 55 that my heart is beat to shit or has some damage from something I did while I was younger.

My friend had a boyfriend that was a big steroid user. He was very edgy and violent on roids..
Driving to the parents house for Thanksgiving they got into a argument in the car. Dude pulled over on the side of the road and slit her throat from ear-to-ear in full view of everyone. Ya, I know an anecdote does not make a trend. That said, making it illegal is useless to prevent use. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile "Roid rage" is largely a myth. Testicles return to normal size following a cycle. The media's information about steroids is about as reliable as its information about firearms. For the record, I do not use them. But botox so toxic that one teaspoon can kill 30 million people, and yet the government lets people inject it into their faces for cosmetic purposes. If THAT'S legal, then men should be able to inject themselves with a substance that is already in their bodies naturally. |

Steroids should be legal. It's another example of gov't "parenting".
From the Controlled Substances Act: Anabolic steroids are schedule 3 drugs. They have a medical purpose and can be legally possessed, but they have potential for abuse. Comes from here |
