Not saying its a good decision, but its a decision that should be made by the person taking the drug. Not by the government.
I guess I did contradict myself there... Ill have to rethink my position and get back to you. 
I guess I just feel that the government shouldn't have the right to tell me what I can or cant take, even if the outcome would be a disaster. |

You can't legislate morality, bottom line.

lol i clicked on this thread to post this exact response.
would i ever use steroids? absolutely no way in hell. do i think steroids should be 'allowed' in professional sports? ehh, not really. i think if people want to use steroids in professional sports, there should be a separate group of steroid using athletes with their own schedules... kind of like racing has different classes (i.e. power adders). that's ridiculous and would never happen so it doesn't even count lol. however, i think that steroids should be legal... the same goes for any drug.
the .gov has absolutely no business sticking its nose into my business to see what i'm sticking into my veins. i'm 100 percent
for personal choice and 100 percent
against federal/state regulation.
