To whom it may concern:
My name is Josh Schlott and I am emailing in order to seek
aid in
obtaining some research information for a school project I am doing on
the
drug epidemic facing our schools and our society. One kid did one last
year
and he got an A on Marijuana abuse in high schools. I was reasearching
on
DEA web site and found info that states a rising epidemic of Steroid
use
amoung teens. I want to focus my project on Drug use and crimal
behavior.
Since Steroids cause roid rage I thought that this might be a good
topic to
touch on and present. However, I find little information on your fact
sheets
that correlates crime and drug use in relation to steroids. All I can
find
is Marijuana and Cocaine and Meth as well as Extascy. I would think
since
Steroids are illegal and are known to cause rages of anger that there
would
be more firm research on this topic. My teacher said the Dept. of
Justice
web site might be the best source of in! formation on this topic since
they
keep strict and detailed records of this type of information.
If you could aid me in this endeavor I would appreciate it. I
got a
C on my project last year and my Dad said unless I get a 3.5 this year
I
can't get a car. This project counts for 20% of my overall grade so I
need
to get an A. I am determined on researching this topic because I am the
captain of my football team and the topic is talked about a lot in the
locker room. However, None of my friends have tried them or even seen
any,
except for something at GNC that supposed to work like them. I have a
lot of
trouble finding ANY facts on this topic from a governmental
institution.
Everytime I try and find something it always refers to Marijuana and
Coacaine and that topic has been talked about to much and it doesn't
seem to
help since everyone I know has tried that. The Steroids interest me but
I
can't find any real info except for in the medical journals and it
mostly
speaks of the benefits of Steroids for AIDS patients, mus! cle wasting,
and
the benefits for men over 30 with diminishing testosterone levels. I
find
very little facts on there side effects in medical journals. My coach
has
something pinned on his wall from the National Heath insitute that
talks
about side effects and I searched that site and can't find medical
literature that it refers to. ANyway.. I paln to email them about that
topic. My question for you is if you can help me find the crimes that
are
commited by crimals that are in a fit of rage from Steroid use.
Thank you in advance

Dear Josh,
Thank you for using AskBJS! Please note, steroids are not illegal,
however
they do require a prescription in order to obtain them. They are
usually
outlawed by sports organizations, but they are not illegal in the same
way
that cocaine, marijuana, heroin, etc, are illegal. Below you will find
some
resources on steroids that I hope you find useful:
