Do You Think Steroids Should Be Legal In USA?

[DexterMorgan]

Imagine having access to pharmaceutical grade Gear, IA's, SERMs 24/7 at the low cost.

But then teenagers will have easy access to it as well.

So does the con's over-weigh the pro's?

I say an age restriction like alcohol. Say 21+ can buy. In all reality, teens have easy access to them anyways.

 

[prnscrn]

Steroids have to stay illegal to protect the teens. No one wants a whole bunch of jacked up teens and with the use of questionable UGL gear that shouldn't be a problem.

 

[alexus hensicus]

No, unless there are stipulations but people will still find a way to abuse it. It is probably best that some things are illegal,.

I disagree, what keep a lot of teens from using is the access to it, once it becomes legal, just like older brothers buy younger brothers alcohol, they will buy them steroids

if they were legal UGL would not exist lol. but i do agree, they have to stay illegal

yes. 100% . being illegal only creates crime. please explain how taking an otherwise law biding, hard working, tax paying citizen and spending $$ to arrest, prosecute and possibly incarcerate makes sense. the people will always do what they want anyway. (prohibition proved that) being illegal just promotes larger criminal enterprises. i'm a firm believer in two things... as a society we need to NOT protect people from THEMSELVES . it's a foolish venture. second, the only thing fighting drugs has done is pump MAJOR $ into our government. PERIOD. i grew up in the "war on drugs" era. in all these years all i''ve seen is people went from sniffing cocaine to doing prescription drugs...

The excuse of protecting the teens is total bullshit! Teens can access steroids, drugs and alcohol as easily as we can.

I think to a certain extent steroids should be legal, with an age limit of 21. When you have tobacco which is totally legal, killing 500,000 per year and costing the taxpayers 10's of billions in healthcare costs, there is no valid arguement that steroids should be illegal.

Our biggest problem is that our politicians are incompetent. They people making the rules are elected based upon the amount of money they can raise and the network they can build. They are not elected based upon intelligence, ethics, honesty, capabilities or common sense.

 

[hell yeah lesbians!]

Not just steroids but all drugs, prostitution, any consensual sex act, gambling, and any other victimless crime should be legal.

steroids wont be legal for several reasons, even though they're harmless to the educated person, to the none educated person its a fuckin disaster, if done wrong you could blow your recepters, destroy your kidney, have a heart attack, get gyno etc, along with that black market will always be cheaper then if sold at a pharm, we see people from age 16 to like 50 asking questions on steroids and showing their fail cycles/opinions, im only 21 and id like to think im fairly educated in gear least enough to hold my own ground so age is only a number when it comes to wisdom grass hoppa

You mean like alcohol, tobacco and all the over prescribed, unneeded drugs that treat symptoms without addressing the cause?

Pull up a few of the best selling drugs sometime and read the side effects.

YA but those have long term side effects, on steroids theres really quick side effects , im sure the uneducated user will think more is better and pop like 100+mg of dbol, his blood pressure will shoot through the roof, along with that america doesn't have enough doctors to attend everyones needs, everything would be so backed up

 

[mmaker233]

Whether they should or shouldn't is moot as they won't ever be legal. So why debate it?

That's why I speciffically said to a certain extent. Some steroids I believe should not be available.

However, if a limited type were sold over the counter, but restricted like pseudoephedrine, it would be fairly safe. Here's an example:

***8226;Reduces the quantities of allergy or cold medicines containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine that may be purchased without a prescription from 9 grams to 7.2 grams per month.

***8226;Establishes an annual limit of 24 grams of allergy or cold medicine containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine that may be purchased without a prescription, whereas existing law did not specify an annual limit.

***8226;Prohibits individuals under the age of 18 from purchasing any quantity of allergy or cold medicines containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine without a prescription.

***8226;Requires pharmacies to maintain an electronic record-keeping system that will allow the pharmacy to prohibit transactions in excess of the limits established by this bill, and provide the Office of Drug Control with unimpeded access to records for statistical analysis purposes.

***8226;Requires the Office of Drug Control to submit annual statistical reports on the sale of compounds, mixtures, or preparations containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine to the Legislative Research Commission.

***8226;Prohibits individuals convicted of any offense relating to methamphetamine from possessing or attempting to possess medication containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine until 5 years after the following dates: ***9702;The date the individual was convicted;

***9702;The date the individual was discharged from incarceration; or
***9702;The date the individual was released from probation or parole

So you're saying bc alcohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs, all of which have side effects just as bad if not worse than AAS mind you, are legal bc the sides are long term?? Unless I read that wrong it makes no sense. You don't get in the car and crash it killing a family of 4 with AAS (extreme example). You don't get lung cancer from popping Anavar (var) just like you usually don't steal, rob, and kill people to get AAS like you do with prescription meds. The BIGGEST reason those are legal and AAS isn't is bc AAS doesn't have a billion dollar lobbying industry supporting it and pushing for legalization like you do with alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical companies!

exactly, money wise it's not worth it, idiots would be putting up lawsuits because of permanent damage, the lawsuits would come in very quickly toooo, an angry boys mom finds out her son died because of a legal drug? BOOM LAWSUIT! shits gonna happen, its gonna occupy courts, doctors, police etc.....

That already happens with "legal prescription drugs" I fail to see the difference. Not being argumentative or a dick but that's how it is with everything. You will get lawsuits over tobacco use and alcohol related fatalities etc. again the biggest difference is the lack of a lobbyist campaign with almost unlimited funding.

This applies to almost anything you can imagine. Pharm sales in the US are well in excess of $300 billion per year. It didn't reach that level because drug manufacturers do not know how to contriol risk. If it's not worth it they won't sell it.

I mean hell dude... you're worried about lawsuits? People file lawsuits over stupid shit everyday.

Exactly! A neighbor of mine tried suing another neighbor bc their dog would urinate on the edge of the property and turned the grass brown lol. Pretty sure there will be frivolous lawsuits with or without AAS. Besides insurance companies, drug manufacturers are the biggest risk mitigators and with enough profit incentive can put almost any Drug on the market.

They should be illegal its better that way. They are LEGAL with a prescription from a doctor as it is.

Yes, but you're very hard pressed to find a doc that will prescribe injectables. They all want to put you on Androgel at $300 so they can reap the kickbacks.
