Sorry. Let me ask a different question. If steroid dealers arent drug dealers, then who are drug dealers?

You think steroids are illegal because the government is protecting Big Pharma's right to distribution?

This is simple, The US Government and the FDA!

You can't really put the government's thought into why anything is legal or illegal. They don't even read the bills they pass for the most part.

No they are illegal because they are not making money off of them and they cannot do to sports and so called cheating.

Really do you believe drugs are illegal because they kill people? No they are not, they are illegal because the government cannot make money off of something that kills people it just wouldn't look right to sell a drug that everyone overdoses on and dies.

Mary Jane becoming legal everywhere and now the country is making money it's ok right? But no it's still a federal offense.

If anything should be illegal it's alcohol but they make to much money off of it so why would they make that illegal again?

I think anything that doesn't line political pockets that's illegal, there is a special interest group behind, whoever had the biggest handout to them dictates policy, look at weed, the paper industry lobbied to get it illegal so they could dominate the industry. There is always somebody paying to get shit made illegal. Steroids probably initially got outlawed because somebody won a contest or got a job in sports over someone else whose family had money, they started a campaign and bam, special interest group pays to get a law passed. The problem with steroids is ignorance, the general population believes in "roid rage" or you inject steroids and bam your Arnold, it's political propaganda to keep people away.

Damn I type too slow!

Anywho I love all these talks with you brothers I am not here to argue but to let people know how I feel. I am not saying I am right or wrong we all think differently.

That's why I love this place listening and talking seeing opinions as everyone here has an opinion!

Hell ya! I'm a conspiracy freak, I'll admit it
