A brief introduction to Anabolic Steroids

Anabolic steroids are threat to our kids and always in the news it seems as a source of "danger". In fact, it is the opinion of the author (backed by some well researched studies) that the current criminalization of anabolic steroids makes them more available and attractive to children and a threat to every freedom loving adult who feels his or her body is his or her business.

The late 80's when a popular Olympian got caught cheating and using a steroid called Winstrol to break a world record, then anabolic steroids were an issue. After that, they've been through the ringer, being everything from the "wink wink" don't ask, don't tell policy of Major League Steroids like anything foreign to the body have pluses and minuses that must be respected, these are indeed potent drugs that do build muscle and may alter mood. 

However, like everything in life, they have numerous health benefits and psychological benefits. Do everybody known’s about Chris? Ok, Chris was on anabolic steroids when he killed his family and of course that is tragic. It certainly didn't help that Chris was on these substances, but are steroids the only criminal in this case? What about the numerous blows to the head experienced by professional wrestlers. Additionally, in Chris's system were Xanax and hydrocodone along with alcohol. That's quite a cocktail, yet we don't see calls for the widespread ban on Xanax, Vicodin or alcohol nor the demonetization of these prescription drugs, yet Chris's name is synonymous with "anabolic steroids" not a dangerous cocktail that includes prescriptions that are at the core of many crimes and addictions in society. Winstrol is one of the most recognized Proprietary brand of Stanozolol in the anabolic steroid market.

 

Even if you don't agree that Xanax, alcohol and Vicoden were responsible for the Benoit tragedy, you may be interested in some of the facts behind steroid use. Who use steroids is in their late 20's to early 40's and is college educated. They simply want the psychological and physical benefits that looking and feeling better offers. Steroid criminalization was opposed originally by the American Medical Association (AMA), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), since they felt that these compounds could easily be controlled by proper prescriptions. In countries, we see no widespread issues, use or problems."Protecting our children" is a common cry from law enforcement and other entities that is self served by the criminalization of Proprietary brand of Stanozolol in the anabolic steroid market and other non-addictive drugs. 

Yet it is just the opposite, decriminalization that makes this a reality. Children in 2010 can actually benefit from supervised anabolic steroid use. Today's teens are obese, mentally unstable and endangering their health. Anabolic steroids can be prescribed by a doctor to help obese kids have the same advantages that their "genetically gifted" peers do, yet at this point any doctor that prescribed anabolic steroids would be committing career suicide and would be in jeopardy of losing their license.
