    Are they even illegal, or do you just need a prescription?

    You need a prescription for steroids in general, but they are available for therapeutic use. If you get caught with paxil without a prescription you will be in the same trouble as if they found an androgen. Never mind that reality - SFTS wants steroids - he should have them without any regulation at all.

    I never said I wanted steroids nor did I say no regulation

    i dont know why they're illegal, but anything thats gonna make ur willy smaller should be illegal.
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    I may be wrong (probably), but doesn't adding testosterone through steroids cause your body to not produce as much of it's own?

    Why do you think long term users gets infertile?
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    I have no idea, but perhaps one should observe and heed the warning of Lyle Alzado.

    Lyle Alzado had a brian tumor. Could've happened to anyone. I love how the one man every champions as being the ultimate victim of steroids really was just a victim of bad luck. If "they all were doing it" Why have we not seen more of these debilitating tumors in former NFL players?

    [Name here] died of AIDs. Could've happened to anyone. I love how the one man every champions as being the ultimate victim of AIDs really was just a victim of bad luck. If "they were all suffering from it" Why have we not seen more of these deaths in former gay communities?

    Alzado realized himself what the ramifications of "self-medicating" with these type substances had done to him, albeit to late. Not just physical changes, but psychological ones also. Could the abuse of these drugs taken purely for performance enhancement have triggered his cancer? Perhaps...perhaps not, drugs do affect individuals differently so unless there's a health related reason for taking them why take the chance. Especially when one with no real medical knowledge decides to self-medicate, and human nature being what it is figures that dose X works fine so dose 4X would be even better.

    Alzado is the best known poster-child for the dangers of using these substances, but he certainly isn't the only one. Check out the premature deaths of Professional wrestlers that may also be attributed to abusing these substances. Where there's smoke there's fire....
