How do you deal with the legal ramifications?

[Big Show]

I was just wondering,how do those of you that choose to use AAS deal with the legal ramifications of dealing/using AAS.
Because although the health effects are debatable,there is no mistaking the legal ramifications.And it is the legal aspects that to be be completly honest scare any possibility of me using AAS away

using won't get you in that much trouble. Dealing on the other hand :D

I would think that using the stuff is as almost as bad as dealing it

I dont think so. Nobody 'shares' AS. You dont go pimp it on a streetcorner. People dont go suck off strangers for their next dbol.
Its not a euphoric drug, it is a pharmaceutical controlled substance. If they find some AS on you they might give you a citation and confiscate your stuff, but other than that, whats the point as long as you only have a personal amount?

I have a friend who has gotten in trouble for owning weed for personal use. They take the weed, give him a fine, and he doesnt even get a point on his record. Its not even a felony, its a misdemeanor which is nothing.

Not to say that its ok...

B&I, the written law and the practical application of said law often differs.

I understand that completely. But taking that stance is playing Russian roulette. It only takes one hard-ass DA and you're *****ed.

That was what I was thinking. I got a DUI case when I was younger, and even though my public defendant (yes, I was cheap) made the cop look like a total fool on the stand, pointed out to him that he made an illegal stop, demonstrated that he had no basis to give me a sobriety test, etc. The judge just said "I see no reason to throw this case out!". You can always find a hard ass, and you're in deep *****.

Worth noting: I am not a big fan of drinking and driving, I was in a state where the BAC was lower than my home state, so while I did in fact wait after leaving the bar to drive, I ended up lower than the legal limit in my state, but higher than the one I was in. Apparently, the DA realized his case wouldn't fare to well at trial and came over to the table and offered a deal, which I took, so I got off with a fine. Going to trial just wouldn't have been worth it at that point.

And that's my story of the day. Well, that and my potentially low test levels.

While the vast majority of users probably don't get caught, you could be one of the unlucky few. Under the Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990, which applies across the country, steroids are in the same legal class as amphetamines, methamphetamines, opium and morphine. Simple possession is a federal offense punishable by up to one year in prison and/or a minimum fine of $1,000 (most states have added anabolic steroids to their schedules of controlled substances). Even if a jail sentence is ultimately avoided, the consequences of an arrest alone include being handcuffed, fingerprinted, and hauled before a judge for arraignment in open court. There will likely be legal expenses and even forfeiture of seized assets. A criminal conviction may prevent or interfere with employment opportunities in many fields such as law enforcement, and members of certain professions involving licensing (physicians, lawyers, dentists, pharmacists, teachers, nurses, cosmetologists, public accountants, architects, auctioneers, barbers, and licensed counselors, just to name a few) can expect a conviction to be reported to their state licensing authority, placing current employment in jeopardy. A drug conviction can suspend a person's driver's license (it's mandatory in some jurisdictions) and be a bar to the ability to own a firearm. Unquestionably, the assistance of experienced legal counsel is your best defense against these potential consequences.

I believe that law differs in Canada.

Its funny a woman can go to the dr and get a boob job or liposuction to improve her appearance and never work a second at it. A guy who thinks he would look better with another 25lbs of muscle on his frame works out hard eats good and sleeps well is labeled a criminal. F@(* that. Steriods is a social stigmatism caused by as usual the negative attention brought to them by less than .05% of those using. Why dont they make alcohol illegal again. Now theres a drug!!!!

[Dominator]

Off topic but what pisses me off are these clinics that crack heads can go to for “protected and sterile” injections and it all free. The cops never bust them there; the idea is to stop the spread of disease by sharing needle.

If a gym set up free injections for steroid users the feds would be their in a matter of seconds. Society and the ignorance piss me off. Oh well

:bash:

This same debate can be brought up for everything. All it takes is one idiot to ruin a perfectly good thing. Let's look at the people that take ECA without understanding it, up the dosage so they can "feel" it and then die. They're so ****ign stupid that they ruin it for all of us. It's just like the guys that abuse roids. They don't care about what could happen, cuz it would never happen to them. They're somehow different......
