bullcrap. here's why.
If you drink 4 cans a day for 2 months and stop will it cause serious adverse effects? Maybe some minor caffeine withdrawal headaches but that's it.
no, i'm talking a 12 pack a day (2-3 big gulps). easy to do, more commonly a sign of diabetes than you think, and there'll never be problems right?
Take 4 {INSERT PH PILL HERE} a day for 2 months and stop without proper PCT. What problems do you think will happen?
i choose to insert 1-ad or furaz. without PROPER pct, i can still pull it off OTC with no sides. easily.
additionally, i can find a ton of OTC stuff that you will have an adverse reaction too, if taken beyond the recommended time limit (which 2 months clearly is when talking about prohormones) and taking more than the recommeded dose (which 4 usually is). hell, trans fat or sodium can mess you up taking twice the recommeded RDA. lets not even get into what potassium will do to you.
I'm trying to say there is a difference in taking to much of 1 thing and PCT. If you take to much of 1 thing that's your own fault. If after taking something and you need something extra afterwords or get nasty side effects that should be on the label.
if you see something that says "gain 20 pounds of muscle in one month" and you don't know you may be taking a steriod, you are either an idiot, or a muscletech believer. if you can't figure out that 20 pounds doesn't come naturally, and you MAY (god forbid) have to be vaguely safe, have a darwin award. if you take mdrol at a double dose for double length till you get jaundice (yellow skin and eyes, which as kristoffer stated is probably a 40mg ED cycle for 8 weeks) and are too stupid to think "maybe i'm doing something wrong", you firmly belong in the hospital, because you may lack the brain cells required to wipe your own bottom. IMO.
Just for the record I don't want them banned or made illegal; playing devils advocate here. Every person should have the right to take and do whatever they want to their own bodies. I'm personally waiting for the rest of my own supps to come in. :sly:
everybody does have the right to take whatever they want. everyone also has the right to either do it properly, or attempt to read up on what they're taking. i mean, you wouldn't go out and buy a hundred bucks of meth, slam it and then complain on what you did "after the fact" and try suiing the trailer park would you?
IMO that's the same thing. if you don't know what you're taking, don't know the side effects, all while being 100% positive that everything you've heard from the media state there are side effects, and still feign ignorance, here's your sign.
EDIT : this is not directed at you, merely your argument.
