Propaganda Surrounding Steroid Use

[GetJuiced]

Any time I mention steroids to someone, the reaction I get is that taking steroids is as bad as smoking crack or something. It seems to me that the media, with all its propaganda and scare tactics has really blown the risks way out of proportion and kind brainwashed a large number of people.

How do you feel about this? Don't you believe that steroids can be used safely for bodybuilding when taken with the proper precautions?

[Jello]

Way worse than crack, you should stay away from it. As a matter of fact, if you have any you should send it to me, to be properly disposed of:p

[dudcki27]

Yeah steroids get villified in the media just because someone on steroids broke the damn home run record in MLB. People just keep saying they are cheating cause they are on roids. My drill Sargent in basic training said to us " if you ain't cheanting then you ain't trying!"

It all depends man... i say pick you poison and shut the fuck up. Meaning we all do something we probly shouldn't... Smokers smoke to relieve stress and sometimes for social reasons. Drinking usually is for social sometimes that can turn you into a functioning alcoholic but most of the time its social purposes. Sky diving, scuba diving, snowboarding, drugs, unprotected sex, smokeless tobacco, surfing ,driving fast or driving at all lol, all these increase the risk of injury and can possible be detrimental to your health... like everything we do there are proper and safe ways to do things even with cigs they have filters now lol. So if Anabolic substances be ur thing then by all means. but lets consider moderation as a personal tool to wellness in all things we do. All the above i have mentioned i have done... so i would be a case where i picked many poisons at one time or another.. but thats the life i chose.

9 out of 10 people dont know shit about AAS. there is an easy way to solve this problem. dont talk about it to anyone. i very rarely will. a very select few of my friends know ive done cycles and as far as they know i havent done one in a long time.

The general public are ignorant to the fact about AAS use. They have been misinformed by media.

[carteblanche83]

Yea, I can see the general public not really knowing about the health effects too much. What I am more surprised at is that everyone thinks a couple pills or shots will make you look like a freak overnight.

I don't see how the media is SO negative and absolutely reports the worst that they can find about any and all steroid use! Why not post up some stories about some of us guys (maybe not us... DEA might catch on. haha) who have used supplements wisely and enjoy the benefits from them on a daily basis.

I think it was some political bull shit games that got it classified as a class 3 substance or whatever the correct terms are. Explain to me how steroids are like crystal meth, or crack cocaine. Maybe i'm just not seeing straight.

I would applaud the person who has the huevos to do a story about the multiple positive, life changing benefits of steroids. I think that would go over like a whole ton of shit but I would like to see someone give it a try. I have seen the video on youtube. "the truth about steroids" or whatever it is called. But that is only one piece of constructive media that I have seen in the recent past. Where are all the bodies piling up from when they were legal? They kill everyone that takes them right?

How is it right that someone can get plastic surgery, get ass implants, get lip injections, a new nose, a tighter face, A tighter pussy... Whatever the hell you want!! But when someone wants to use something like AAS to enhance their personal appearance it is strictly frowned upon?!?

I have no doubt in my mind that the government could come up with legal regulations of AAS use if they wanted to. After all, they are good at regulating everything else about our lives.


And now I'm done.

The media has become nothing but hype and misinformation --- Just trying to sensationalize stories and get them out quickly with very little information.

What's worse is that the whole world has succumbed to this type of thinking. Believing falsely that it is the truth, when it is anything but.

:confused::mad::mad::eek:

This might fall into the having huevos catagory. BIGGER STRONGER FASTER. Really good documentary that shows the good and bad of steroids. The bad would be lyle alzaido taking 10x the amount recommended then blaming the juice.

[cjjrwe]

I don't discuss them, except with my wife. You will never convince people that they are wrong, or that the mainstream media is misinformed. It is not worth discussing and would only bring unwanted attention on you, depending on what you do for a living that could have negative consequences.

I saw that one! It is indeed a good one. Props to those guys.

Does crack shrink your balls? I rest my case.

I could not have said it better.

Any time I mention steroids to someone......

Why would you ever mention steroids to anyone?

Here are a few rules to live by IMO:

1. never discuss steroids with anyone, ever. Never means never.
2. never tell anyone **ANY ONE** about using AAS. There was a thread at PM a while back where a guy and his girl got in an arguement, she called the cops, and when they got there she told him where his gear was. How do you think that went for him? I didnt tell my wife for a year (until she confronted me..lol about it now but that was not a great day) and after she read up on it, and gained knowledge she is fine with it. She is a nurse, by the way.
3. never drive with gear in your car, and when you do obey all laws
4. when you go pick up a "package" before you leave the post office or UPS store, write "return to sender" on it. Dont open it until you get home.
5. If anyone asks what I take I say protein and alot of food.
6. Never tell anyone about using steroids. did I mention that already?

steroids are illegal, in a big way. Trying to convince someone who has seen 3 lifetime movies and 4 episodes of CSI concerning steroid use is a waste of time.

You guys who tell everyone what your doing are foolish, especially when you tell some bitch you happen to be banging this month.

"silence" is the golden word.

lol...yeah well if you go to a PMB to get your stuff and you drive (I do) then just be careful. :cool:

[Explosion-]

I hate people who spring on me whenever I talk about them..the only person who supports it is my roomate.. who plans to take em after he hits 275 naturally

[CollinDC]

Thats funny today at the gym someone asked me what i weighed and that i looked good, then we started talkin more. I basicly told him its all about diet and training... But honestly,if anyone knows anything about aas they know your on or not, especially if your building mass.

[blazen2000]

I have seen a few commercials on tv or cases on espn where they talk about roids. I bite my tongue for as long as possible till I have to blow up on them dumbasses that don't know shit. I tell them read a fucken book not what the fucken media tells you or spoon feeds you. That shit pisses me off.
