Lots of informative posts in this thread. I missed it before somehow. People don't seem to like what pusher had to say but due to my own experience his thoughts ring true. One way that personal users are vulnerable is that they are hypothetically buying from distributors, whether overseas or local. That involves them in a conspiracy and subjects them to the same punishment as anyone else involved. In a previous life when I was younger and dumber I caught a Fed case for green. Hope this doesn't violate a rule since I see guys discussing using it on here regularly for anxiety etc. The DEA never saw me with any product or money but were still able to convict me with over a ton (literally) of weight. Fortunately due to it being a first offense and the agents/prosecution making a couple of minor mistakes I only served a few years in a minimum camp out west. In the years I spent in the system, in jails, transit, and prison I never once met anyone in for AAS. I know they're there, I just didn't run across them. The guys I knew that had been in the AAS world were all locked up for x and blow. I tend to go off on tangents so bear with me. The main prosecutions I see from AAS in the news are usually due to somebody being wide open about their business on social media, musclehead comes to mind. Also keep in mind that when someone is cooperating with LE they don't publicize it. In fact with the federal system they don't always put it out to the media at all. That's dependent on many factors, whether it's an ongoing investigation, an election year and so on. There are also plenty of ambitious prosecutors that want headlines and choose to demonize something they don't understand. I wish the laws would change, prohibition has been proven ineffective over and over. Under this new administration I believe we will see more vigorous prosecutions for AAS. Honestly when I was busted it saved my life. I would almost certainly murdered by competition or the cartel I was involved in within a year or so. I didn't see it that way at the time but after a few years cooling my heels it sunk in to my hard skull. Yes, they typically go after labs/distribution networks. With the way conspiracy charges work you are part of a much larger conspiracy once you transact with a source. Just be safe, stay small, don't sell. In my case I have a prescription for test, aromasin, HCG, and Nolvadex. What more do I need? I use MENT as well because it's not illegal yet. I am always willing to learn more from people more experienced than myself. That's why I read these boards. I do a lot more research than most guys on here. Hell, I researched AAS for 6-7 years before I even used any. And I still had only scratched the surface. More people need to read more. I know most guys won't do this but I recommend keeping an attorney on retainer. I'd originally done this because of another issue that I was concerned about but now I keep him on standby. I and my family all have his phone number and his cell phone number. If anything happens first thing you better do is get an attorney. Don't talk without one. And don't believe the television, that they won't ask you questions without an attorney. I've been detained or arrested by customs, ICE, DEA, various sheriff's and police departments and they all kept asking me questions after I asked for an attorney and they refused to provide one. And all this in a span of 4 years in my early twenties (mid to late 90's).
