I don't have an issue with steroid use or abuse for that matter. I'm all for letting people do whatever they want to themselves, even if it means they end up dead. If someone wants to drink themselves to death, let them. I'm against giving people that destroy their bodies any type of free government-sponsored medical aid though. If someone smokes and gets some type of cancer, I would say let them rot. Same goes for people who drink, abuse steroids, etc.

Unless you are being monitored by a physician and getting top quality, clean steroids, there is no question that you're putting yourself at risk by taking them. If you take steroids you got from some guy at the gym, you're an idiot and deserve to die from the potential results.

As for me, I won't be taking steroids any time soon. I lift weights 4 days a week, don't drink very often, don't smoke and eat right 90% of the time. The only supplement I take is protein powder. I don't believe steroids are needed to sustain a decent physique until you're older (I'm currently 24). This, of course, is for recreational lifters.

Pro bodybuilders, competitive olympic lifters, competitive powerlifters, etc. all tend to take steroids if they want to compete at the highest level. It's obviously not possible to compete with someone with prime genetics on steroids as a natural lifter, even if you have the exact same genetics.

Steroids are a huge crutch for athletes, especially strength athletes and bodybuilders. However, I don't have any aspirations to be a professional athlete. I simply like to lift weights to relieve stress and look better. I think up to a certain age this is easily possible without steroids.

I would simply like to leave the choice up the individual when it comes to anything that doesn't harm anyone else. If you want to smoke, go for it but don't do it in my face. If you want to drink, go for it but don't go driving and running people over afterwards. If you want to take steroids, go for it but don't expect medical attention when you take too much and your kidneys and liver are damaged or you have high blood pressure. Why should anyone tell you what to do? You have to make a decision for yourself about how you want to live. I don't see us stopping obese people from going to McDonald's multiple times daily so they can eat themselves to death.
