You continue to blame shift. The 2004 steroid act outlined and classified the compounds and penalties. Companies produced chemicals that were classified illegal. These are the facts.
Your issues with the system and the FDA are irrelevant to the facts.
what your saying is correct. it isn't stupid kids fault, they just helped fuel the fire to fix these problems of steroids being sold.
i think what he's trying to say is, that it's messed up that certain things are legal to use, (asprin, booze, cigarettes, nyquil) but things like anabolic steroids are illegal as a dangerous drug like heroin.
the two are clearly in different catagories.
but despite what he thinks, steroids are easily abused, and misused.
the answer isn't to make them illegal. or illegal to posses. they should make it like a gun, you have to wait 3 days to get your gear. and take a compentency test and pass with a certain score before you can obtain enough for one cycle. and you also would have to purchase a full post cycle therapy same time u purchase said cycle.
of course this isn't the exact answer, and wont happen, kids get guns, heroin, etc, kids will always get their hands on steroids. illegal or not.
I smoked my first joint when i was 14. used harder drugs like cocain/extasy etc at 16. had an illegal colt 45 at 16. and all my friends were in the same sht too.
(also had a friend o.d. an die on heroin at 16 y/o, i never fckd with it though)
and im from the "suburban white family". whats goin on in the suposed "lower income hoods"
kids will find a way. nothing we can do. the gov needs to realize this.
