imo, aas use (w/o script) is the classic example of malum prohibitum only
iow, it is illegal, but its not bad. stupid laws made it illegal. it should not be. even the DEA and the AMA etc did NOT support the act of 1990 making them controlled substances.
script for birth control pills are easily obtainable because there is a hyoooge lobby for reproductive rights
and script for AAS (which should be Rx not controlled substances) are hard to get (especially for aesthetic development vs. low dose HRT) because there is not a hyoooge lobby (well, they are hyoooge, but they are not numerous) to fight for these rights
one would hope that fair minded people would support this stuff, but the reality is, apart from a few good people, most supporters of reform AAS laws are the small minority of people who would benefit
they have been demonized by the press, the govt., and the medical community.
