Steroid use to enhance metal and physical states

Our society promotes a certain image males/females should have or strive for. It has been proven in scientific studies that appearance will dictate how successful one is in life. People you encounter will have an automatic bias towards you based on your appearance. The more attractive one looks the easier it is to deal with people. So why is it abnormal in our society to use synthetic forms of testosterone and other muscle building drugs while plastic surgery is okay, breast enlargement is okay, high-hills which overtime will deform the foot is okay, makeup is okay; people will even frown down on women who don’t put on makeup. However, using steroids and other related medication to improve performance, raise self-esteem, improve health in otherwise healthy individuals is such a taboo. In fact they will have congressional hearings about it and put people in prison for it. Even if you’re using the drugs for pure vanity how is it any different than everything else society approves of? How can average Americans be so ignorant? How “normal” is it to use drugs to enhance mental and physical states.

Is It Normal?

    • it is interesting how unflinching you are with exposing reliogen for what it is, a dangerous myth. But, buy into the media hype about steroids and its dangers. DO you know that not a single individual died as a result of steroid use. There is no DIRECT Link to anabolic steroid use and death.

      • nobody thinks it kills you, it's just bad for your body, anything that is not a nutrient is bad for your body

        i'd rather just do exercises at a gym than be lazy and take a drug that will make me strong but also mess up my body

        • You still have to have proper nutrient intake and workout regimen. You can%%u2019t just sit on your ass the whole day and expect results. Steroids are just synthetic testosterone. Testosterone is pulsing in your blood right now, flikr. With drugs a male can safely get the results that would take a year to attain within few month timeframe. What disturbs me the most, however, is that some fat wrinkled ass fuck in congress makes laws that ruin lives and punish innocent people. If someone is discovered using, the very least they will suffer social stigma or prison time at worst. If not for drugs Arnold would never become champion bodybuilder, never marry his wife, never become an actor, never became governor. How can anyone even think America is a democracy where such hypocrisy dwells? America the land of the misinformed and the willfully ignorant.

          • but steroids are just being lazy so i don't think anybody should do them

          • and i'm not saying that you should never do it, i'm just saying that it makes you strong and it messes up your body in other ways

            if you think it's worth it then go ahead but just know the consequences

            it's the same thing with pot, pot is bad for you but it gets you high, it's just whether you think it's worth it

          • yea i know testorerone is a hormone in our bodies, but when you add more to your body that your body didn't make it messes your body up

            and of course arnold did steroids, but he didn't get caught for it

            there is no hypocrisy, everybody does illegal things, some get caught and some don't, that's life

  • steroid enhace your stupidity.. read your question again, and get informed. Not all the studies are "legal" and correctly done. Do you know that in Ny you get paid to participate in test... and people go just to get paid and pretend answers.. the long they pretend the longer are in the program and get paid.

  • look mate you get alot of people saying steroids do this and steroids do this and there bad but the truth is they arnt.
    only when abused like every other drug
    are they damaging now i ask any one of you to oppsoe me on this because most of you know f*ck all about them,
    if you have a degenerate lung or muscle disease or if your recovering from surgery what do the doctors give you?
    an anabolic steroid
    i agree that the drug because its illegal is abused quite alot and its given a bad name because of all the horror storys but if taken properly can greatly inprove your strengh, muscle mass, health, immune system, penis size, sex drive and it can even make you look and feel younger
    i personally think its a taboo because people fear power and strengh

  • If you have forgotten steriods have medical uses. They can help prevent damage from tumors, like the one that was on my Dad's spine. It help keep the tumor from crushing my Dad's spine sooner than it did. No, I'm not looking for sympathy, however I wanted to point out that steriods have benefits if used properly.

    Ps. Some to most nasal sprays contain steroids.

  • I see an addict trying to justify himself.

    Don't fuck with your own chemistry. Living chemistry is still way beyond full comprehension, and you never know what nasty things you could do to yourself. Steroids do some really awful things to your temper and internal organs. I maintain the opinion that pills are things to be looked at suspiciously and only swallowed if your doctor says you really need them and he doesn't sound like he's just trying to make a buck.

    I also dislike makeup for completely different reasons, and I'm glad to know that my girlfriend feels the same way.

    • read somthing about them before shunning them
      you obviously have no clue about steroids or testosterone supplements or even how the body works
      all steroids do is increase your protien synthesis by increasing testosterone in the body,
      the side affects can happen naturally in your body without even touching a steroid

    • According to your logic if there was a medicine that could save your life or change the quality of your life completely you should not take it until you have "full comprehensions." Really, temper? Have you ever interacted with anyone on the juice? Have you read the medical studies, no you haven't. Your just talking out of your ass. Its called ignorance plain and simple. Oh and you can't get addicted to testosterone. There is no medical data for it what so ever.
