I was researching a bit of steroid history and legal details the other evening. I started thinking about the "why's" and "hows" behind the Anabolic Steroid Control Act (1990,2004) and feeling sick.
The*obsurd objectives of this amendment*are to conform the Drug*Enforcement Administration's (DEA) policy and*unite*new policy regarding AAS' with the *Controlled Substances Act (CSA)*this redefined*the existing policy. This effectively altered the description(s) and/or definition of "anabolic steroid.''
This new definition, in a nutshell, changed anabolic steroids*to *Schedule III controlled substances. Additionally, the Act lists 59 specific* substances as being considered anabolic steroids or performance enhancing narcotics.
The Act also amends the CSA by revising the language requiring exclusion of**OTC products from regulation as controlled substances, enter Patrick Arnold and the battle to hault a growing prohormone market. The**Act clarifies that the exclusionary language in pertains only to* non-narcotic "drugs'' under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act**(FDCA). (1) This is confusing simply because the language used isn't clear as to the exact guidelines distinguishing a supplement from a controlled substance!
DEA is the primary agency responsible for advocating and, IMO, "greasing the wheels" with regards to the federal Controlled Substances Act and the Controlled Substances Import and** Export Act (21 U.S.C. 801-971) (CSA).
The DEA drew a line in the sand, for lack of a better term,*via *Title (21) of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Sec. 1300.01 to**1316.99. This title basically allows a determined number of "units" to be manufactured by "Big Pharma" in the States. Phizer, Watson, and others will produce enough steroids to meet the need of the legit medical community for HRT, AIDs patients, etc...The CSA**delagates the responsibility of establishing and maintaining* a closed system of control for manufacturing to who else? You guessed it...our buddies at the DEA!**They are to regulate the pharmasutical industry while also working with local*law enforcement (LE) to*combat black market*AAS*sales.
Any person who manufactures,** distributes, dispenses, imports, exports, or conducts research or chemical** analysis with controlled substances must register with DEA (unless exempt) and** comply with the applicable CSA requirements for the activity. (2) In short, if you are not authorized, the DEA or one of a number of their counterparts (local/regional LE) will arrest and prosocute you!
I mentioned feeling sick as I researched deeper into this...One reason for my cookies trying to toss is this; Anabolic Steroids are now sharing rank with "street junk!" Drugs controlled under the CSA includes opiates, hallucinogens and central*nervous system stimulants and depressants! So I'm on the same team with "Harry Herion" and "Martha Meth-head" if I choose to utalize an underground source and possess some Testosterone to improve my quality of living (we don't all have insurance!). The last time I checked men don't worry about their natural cocaine levels dropping at age 25! I would also like to ask anyone these two questions...
Who is the last person you can remember who either-
1) died of exposure living under a bridge because he lost everything spending all his money on his next Anavar fix?
<OR>
2) became a prostitute or a liquor store thief just to score 10 more milliliters of Testosterone Cypionate?
I'm gonna say nobody can think of anyone who has come even close to that fate from AAS use!
