I want to my doctor today and got a surprise steroid test (dad made me). Anyway, my doctor gave me a lecture and some information on steroids. One thing that stuck out to me was the following:
“Steroids are only legal in the US if you have a doctors prescription. Doctor’s sometimes prescribe steroids for men who cant make enough testosterone naturally or people with certain problems (such as AIDS)”
Is this actually true? I always thought steroids were illegal no matter what?

One of my friends took steroids(different kind supposedly) because of some eye problem he had, doctor gave it to him, so I guess so...but I believe there are different levels of steroids or something like that...I am not expert on this subject.

Some sheduled drugs require government permission to prescribe (such as cannabis, etc) this depends on the state/country you live in.
Some drugs, such as schedule 1 drugs have no legitimate medical use so will not be prescribed (lsd, etc). There are exceptions to this such as ******* which is still used in very rare circumstances and most hospitals will stock it. Also diamorphine (heroin) is to be found in most hospitals, but I doubt these can be prescribed
But anabolic or androgenic steroids can be prescribed to those with sufficient endocrine deficiencyis such as thos with chronic diseases or just old men. Dont confuse these with other steroid drugs (prednisone, cortisone, etc) these are steroids but are not nanbolic or androgenic. It just refers to their chemical structure.
Damn they give estrogen to any chick that wants it, dunno why test is so evil...

and no, MD's cant prescribe whatever they feel like. If your GP is prescribing patients AAS with no valid reason they will be caught eventually. Here in Las Vegas, doctors have been caught numerous times prescribing pain killers (basically selling narcotics) for non-specific symptoms such as "headaches" and some have lost their licenses. Same could happen with AAS as they are both sched III.play like an all star, party like a rock star, and hit it like a porn star!

Steroids do wonders for people with wasting conditions (Aids, etc...) Like any medication, there is good and bad, it depends how it's used, so don't believe the uninformed media! It's very hard to kill yourself with steroids, but asprin causes (Directly!) lots of deaths every year! (OD's, Bleeding ulcers etc...)Orthodox Atheist.

Remember that just about any illegal drug you can buy on the streets/blackmarket, you can buy legally with a doctor's prescription. Examples are heroine=oxycontin, methamphetamine=dexedrine/********, coke=ritalin, and many other pain killers and benzo's by prescription.
The irony is that most of the time, the "medicinal" use of these drugs legal or not is more dangerous in the long run than it's recreational use IMPO.

They are illegal without a prescription. My little brother is 14 and is on roids. He got diagnosed with Puberty retardation. Meaning he is shorter than about 95% of 14 year olds, and lighter too. He isn't a midget by any means. He is up to about 5 foot now. Was about 4'7 or 8 when he started Oxyandrone ( I think that is the script he is on). He has gained 30 pounds too. But it does cause some side effects. He is the toughest 5 foot 14 year old you would ever see. He gets mad really easy, and has some acne problems (what 14 year old doesn't).

OT I read a quote that Bud Selig was all unglued because Barry Bonds may have taken juice. This is all I have to say: If a drug can make a 40 year old man more cometitive than a bunch of 25 year old guys instead of damning it we should be embracing it!!

No there not legal
Umm watch the movie bigger stronger faster.
Ull see that some idiot father was able to convince congress there bad as result of his only way of coping for son's death blame They caused his depression has nothing to do with smoking weed. If a teenage kid can get his hands on I wonder what other drugs he was able to as well.
Media didn't help either
Media is truely disgusting.
Lets put a steroid death on tv cause that'll b entertaining that's something the ppl aren't use to unlike alcohol and cigarettes , a death rate u can count by the mintute of ppl dropping dead.
If they put those deaths on the news you wouldn't even b able to see the weather.
We as ppl are to that. But we can't accept things that are different.
World record ppl die from steroids a year 3 lmao.
To the ppl who do use steroids who are they hurting ???
No body else
As far as I come concerned I see this in violation of the constitution the right to Pursue happiness
You have ppl out there drinking alcohol rage, drunk divers, 2nd, 3rd hand smoke
There hurting themselves let alone others.
Who are users hurting ? No one
No such thing as rage either, that's something the media has created, start off with a jerk he gains 30 muscle steroids or not that's 30 more pounds of jerk he's going to b cocky about. Than u criminals take steroids or whatever oo it wasn't my fault I was they made do this oo wasn't my fault I was drinking it was the alcohol it the cocain whatever it just wasn't my fault and the judges that listen to that. Dumb.
users aren't hurting other ppl and it's debatable weather they actually hurt themselves if u can use it responsible.
Ppl that drink and smoke
What are they accomplishing by that ?
Ppl use trying accomplish a better body is that such a crime ?
Most ur hollistar models use things like anavr
Is there relationship why football players today way bigger stronger than ones 15 years who
I mean food is still food and 45 pound plate is still 45 pound plate haha chemistry got more advanced. U can see there hgh guts.
Whatever baseball player that was R idk how spell his name took one andro
I talk anther guy said he took the same thing. It didn't do **** for him !!!
That's ph naturally converts to testosterone what ur converting isn't so natural. Not everybody has the genetics for this to work. Ppl who do and ppl who don't. It's the ppl that don't who air stuff don't get results and from they point on critize those who are able to take stuff and get results to do there genetics.
Define to me the word cheating, an unfair advantage, is unfair some has better genetics maybe there body makes more testosterone, so go the doctor I need some test it's unfair my competitor has better genetics or give him a shot so he doesn't have as much test , it's unfair he trained harder had better diet.
Baseball u wouldn't pay go watch ur neighbor go hit home runs ordinary guy
We as public want ordinary ppl.
If there's no records broken in the next 20 years do u think that sports going to as exciting ? No it's not. The truth is we want our athletes taking stuff
Just manageable amounts for entertainment of the ppl
Any one who plays sports as in pros weather they take stuff or not is do a shorter life than average person.
Whose the government to even get involved in sports ?? We have drug test that'll show everything but we don't use them. Instead we use drug test that can't test for gh and tell our athletes when there going to be tested.
That's in a seen from bigger stronger faster deleted seen.
Ok u think allowing drugs in sorts sets a bad example for kids.
Don't put it on the news that simple.
But putting a baseball player spitting his dip b4 he goes to swing that's great example morals
im in high school i dont know one cheerleader who's never smoked and a baseball player who doesnt chew
or foot players can go out get smashed and get away with it.
How about for ppl don't play sports but want take them for personal reasons and look better now u made those ppl compared to cocain users.
Congress u have not done ur jobs u have not solved the problem.
U made them illegal.u created a black mark in which there are fakes, cleanliness problems unsafe, you've made it more unsafe.
During the alcohol prohibition ppl use to make wood alcohol bath tub alcohol highly toxic stuff why ? Cause better safer cheaper alternatives weren't allowed.
U can trust ppl not to smoke or drink to much like alcohol poisoning that doesn't happen often but u can't trust ppl to take right amount of test ? Load bs is what it is
Congress didn't listen to what the FDA AMA or DEA had to say
Ppl with actually legit degrees
They don't cause cancer or heart attacks or hair loss maybe speed the process up of its in ur genetics
Our own body's were not hurting anyone else
Let us do what we want
Or oo wait gym candy it'll help only those who are able to work hard or those are who are not able work hard wont do **** for them only make them look that much pathetic and we can't accept ppl are different
Ppl arms fill in there shirts that's intimidating and scary we can't accept that
How many congress men they voted that have drank and smoked ?
Yet there going criticize Very hypocritical
One of my favorite philosophies don't judge some one else just because they sin differently than you do.

Loving all your 8 year bumps on threads that are not allowed here anymore... Strong troll.
However, I encourage you to bump every steroid thread you can find and then maybe bb.com would actually purge them if they are so serious about prohibiting such talk
