Monday, the house passed this bill...


Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2014 - Amends the Controlled Substances Act to: (1) expand the list of substances defined as "anabolic steroids"; (2) authorize the Attorney General to issue a temporary order adding a drug or other substance to the list of anabolic steroids; (3) impose enhanced criminal and civil penalties for possessing or trafficking in any anabolic steroid, or product containing an anabolic steroid, unless it bears a label clearly identifying the anabolic steroid by the nomenclature used by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry; and (4) authorize the Attorney General to collect data and analyze products to determine whether they contain anabolic steroids and are properly labeled.

Specifies that a substance shall not be considered to be a drug or hormonal substance that is considered to be an anaboloic steroid if it is: (1) an herb or other botanical; (2) a concentrate, metabolite, or extract of, or a constituent isolated directly from, an herb or other botanical; (3) a combination of two or more such substances (i.e., botanical or concentrate, metabolite, or extract); or (4) a dietary ingredient for purposes of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

First theres only about 4 major prohormones/prosteroids we would lose.
Second the bill passed in the house its still not law yet and theres a chance it may not be.
Thirdly most of us (most) use AAS and could give a shit- but the whole idea that the gov't actually wastes time on this, and the sheer hypocrisy of the law itself is just insulting.

I dont see them banning, ibuprofen, alcohol, or tabacco, and now we have medicinla marijuana.

This is my take on it, big brother is all for things being legal that pacify or mollify the masses.
Things that might make them a little stronger, and more aggressive are seen as threatening, and of course theres the big pharma making their push to make these things illegal so people have to come to them for TRT or HRT therapy which puts money in their pocket and the health insurance companies- or Obama fucking care.

Do you know which 4 would be banned?

 

[ajdos]

Do you know which 4 would be banned?

Epistane
Halodrol
Furazabol
Dienolone (tren)

Thats what I see on the list right away, some of those other compounds are very very obscure and in some cases useless- so it goes to show the asshats in Washington arent even sure what they are banning.
Some needle head gave them the science but not the practical use side.

Looks like Dymethazine and Methyl Stenbolone, the two strongest remaining legal steroids, are still safe.

Only because they are more recent. It's cat and mouse and these regulatory bodies move extremely slowly. The legislature moves even slower. I bet this list was submitted internally a couple years ago. The newer compounds will eventually be added to the ban list also. If you like Epistane, I'd stock up.

The chemists can just keep tweaking the structures to make new designer compounds which aren't classified and banned yet.

 

[Ehren]

Awesome! Im so glad theyre working on this! Such a relief!!

I was all worried about the economy, the huge deficit, the war...s...Immigration and ISIS, or my friends dying in some shit hole desert over oil.

SOOOO Glad they got that Prohormones thing done! Awesome work, Congress! Maybe next you can spend millions making a law about mailbox flags or bicycle seats. Ya know, the critical shit

 

[RamboStallone]

Our government is a joke....at best.

 

[Growman]

Ajdos and Ehren hit the nail on the head. This is a complete waste of time and OUR money. On average 35% of a working Americans income goes to taxes, and where does it all go? Right now they cant run the government on that, they are running a huge deficit.

Do they really need to worry about designer steroids? The people who want to juice will just do the real thing. While the country's infrastructure is falling apart and ISIS is taking control in the middle east they are sitting around a table trying to figure out how to ban Epistane ?!?!?

Give me fucking break... Like Greg Valentino said, its a victimless crime. When was the last time someone broke into someones house to steal so they could support their AAS habit.

 

[Growman]

Yep Rambo. You are correct, thats the word i was looking for. A Joke !!! Thats what it is....

 

[OrionLabs]

Can someone break this down for me little quick dont really have time to read the whole bill right now.

 

[Area-1255]

Our government is a joke....at best.

Agreed, it's all about money - they do this shit because they think it will get them extra notoriety and make them look like the "good guys" - they all wanna go on their own self-justified crusade while overlooking the true facts and making many lives miserable.

They are beyond corrupt and they belong in jail more than any steroid user or distributor ever should....

And tbh, if they really wanted to help - they would legalize steroidal compounds but put an age limit or something on it.
Granted, some people don't know how to properly use them but this goes for anything, and that goes without saying.

Create new drug wars seems to have been their motto, while expanding existing ones - all for profit.

 

[Area-1255]

Looks like Dymethazine and Methyl Stenbolone, the two strongest remaining legal steroids, are still safe.

Well that's a relief.

 

[Achilles-reborn]

Damn! I really like epistane.
