Couple of observations I've picked up after reading decades worth of anabolic steroid related case studies.
One, I've yet to see any legitimate trend in the dangers of oral or injectable steroids compared to many other commonly used legal drugs. In fact, I've never seen one product do as much damage to a group of people as the natural supplement OEP (counterfeit) did with all that liver damage/failure. Even if I tallied all the SuperDrol cholestasis case studies they would not even be close to the number of impacted people by the OEP ordeal.
Also I've never seen a death solely attributed to the newest generation of designer steroids. At the same time we have seen a few deaths from stimulant supplements like DMAA (as rare as they are). None of this proves or disproves their safety or lack thereof. But it's certainly interesting and allows some perspective.
Second, the population studies on anabolic steroid users largely find the same commonalities (in the USA at least). Those are anabolic steroid users are not children. They are middle aged men, who have an above average education and income. They are hardly "morons" or irresponsible citizens. They are the guys giving you a spot in the gym and teaching their kids how to squat.
