: : Well some of the people involved dont want to hustle other gym members for product and would like to keep their usage a secret, so they order by mail. At least on the board they can get feedback from the mail order supplier and other customers. A prosecution from a mailorder purchase is less likely than from an in person buy.
: >>>If the topic of this board were LSD, Heroin, Crack, or another illegal drug, would you be so concerned about why anyone on this board would want to protect their privacy? Food for thought.... LIFT AND LEARN! >FLATTOP<
That's a good point. I find it hard to believe that our great federal gov't can group steroid users with crack and heroin users. First of all, I don't know and can't remember the last time some bodybuilder held up a liquor store and shot the owner just so he could get one hit of test. Second, most if not all steroid users have an incredible interest in their body. This is just the opposite of any heroin or crack addict. Third, most any educated steroid user has a great work ethic, and is willing to do what it takes to achieve a goal. Show me a crack addict like that! Anyone that uses steroids generally spends hard earned money to get what they want. These are hard working and honest people for the most part, and I resent anybody that would classify this group of people with the low life street scum that would sell their own mother for a 20 minute high. DEA agents, listen. You guys are hunting the wrong people. We are not the ones corrupting your children. We are not the ones buying guns on the street. We are not the ones shooting other people because of the colors they wear. We are not what is wrong with society. Forgive us, we just have a little self pride and interest. We want to live the American dream and make ourselves the greatest version of ourselves possible.
Keep up the fight,
