Statistics from the following website:http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache...us&ct=clnk&cd=1

Deaths caused by smoking are five times higher than the 22,833 deaths arising from: traffic accidents (3,439); poisoning and overdose (881); alcoholic liver disease (5,121); other accidental deaths (8,579); murder and manslaughter (513); suicide (4,066); and HIV infection (234) in the UK during 2002. 8 World-wide, almost 5 million die prematurely each year as a result of smoking. Based on current trends, this will rise to 10 million within 20 years.

My frustration is the overwhelming ignorance of our modern society which accepts without question the BS coming from the politicians and media about "the dangers of steroids", and totally ignore the truth about the great danger of cigarette smoking.

Not one single death has ever been directly linked to steroid use or abuse, yet steroid use is illegal in the USA. Cigarette smoking on the other hand is directly link to thousands of premature deaths each year in the USA, and yet it is perfectly legal to smoke. The insanity of our modern culture!

Discussion of "rec" drugs is not allowed, so depending on how this thread goes, it may be closed rather abruptly.

i would have to say that it depends on how addicted one gets to these
drugs
i mean a smoker can be just as bad as someone who does the rec drugs
with having nik fits they can be bad
almost like being strung out

as for AAS it depends not everyone gets the rage some people like myself
calm down while on almost like a high but i am in controll
which said like that puts it in a class like every other drug

hope i worded everything right so this post doesn't get closed
it a good topic

great question...I always hear fools talking about how bad AAS are. When I am using them, I eat healthy, don't drink a drop, get sleep, hit the gym...all very clean living. I always feel like the reward/risk ratio is way better than any other substance...plus you get big. I feel like smacking the crap out of my wife sometimes while on...but that is another story.

i'm with deepglute on this one.. you pretty much summed it up there...

i'm not gonna say what i have to say cause the thread would get closed lol
