Europe Law

[gradstudent]

I have laws for steriod dealing and possession in the U.S. but I can't find any for Europe. Anyone have a link?

Look I know I have made some people pissed off with my posts but everyone on here has been very helpful with my research which has resulted in a 14 page paper thus far. I will continue to thank everyone because I owe each of you alot. This board has taught me things about steroids I never knew and I am wiser for it now.

Be easy on yourself mate! Wel, here in The UK we have it easy as such. Use has almost become expected and nobody seems nothered. I cringe when I hear people talk openly about their use of juice while at the gym though. There are a number of guys who compete in The BNBF (British Natural Bodybuilding Federation) and they are lean motherfuckers. They are an absolute inspiration as are the natural Powerlifters. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that these Organisations are growing in numbers every year. Alot of people are losing respect for juicers, the use of it has gone so bad . Its almost as bad as the use of sunbeds. Having a Tan in England is a fucking joke. Who do these guys think they're kidding!!

You'll be helping us once you have your research done, so please don't disappear. On this Board, you give back what you get....lots of help and advice. Try the links below and they will give you further links again.

Ok I am confused. On one site it states you cannot be arrested for simple posession of steriods, but on another it says you can be charged for simple posession, but it is usually wavied. Am I reading this right? Europe law has steriods as a Class C felony meaning 2 years min jail and a max of 14. That seems harsher than U.S. law which has a max of 1 or 2 years pending on how many offenses you have.

The UK law states that C Felony amongst user here refers to a fine and nothing more. However, as it is decriminalised, your steroids may be confiscated, but no more. You won't end up in court. The confiscation would be the end of it. It isn't legal to have a personal supply, but it isn't a criminal offence. However, the target of the law is the illegal supplier who faces that harsh penalty you are talking about - 3 years in prison.

Here on the mainland it is a bit different.
You can get to court or get high fines when importing supplements (not even roids) for personal use. On the other hand you can share joints with the coppers (only in the Netherlands).

in the UK Anabolic steroids are Prescription Only drugs under the Medicines Act. They can only be sold by a pharmacist on the presentation of a doctor's prescription. Anabolic steroids are also class C drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act. It is not an offence to possess anabolic steroids for personal use, unless they are counterfeit. It is an offence to supply them. Therefore police tend to arrest for steroid possession only if they can prove the drugs are counterfeit (and therefore not prescribed by a doctor). A small number of arrests and convictions are made on this basis each year.

If a patient obtains a drug from abroad then it falls under the importing regulations.
The Medicines Control Agency has stated that up to 3 months supply can be brought into the country as long as it is for individual use.

For medicines obtained abroad, the key issue is the legal status of the medicine in the country of purchase. If it is available OTC in that country then up to 3 months supply could be brought into the UK(as long as it is not also classified as a CD within the UK) and the person could be in possession of, and use the product without
breaking any regulations.

However although possession and use of a POM for personal use does not constitute a criminal offence, supply of such products is an offence and could be easily done. For example, somebody purchasing a
medicine abroad (UK classified POM) and bringing it into the country for someone else would also be committing an offence.

These are the laws as understood at present but really havent been tested in court to see how they are implemented.

Wrongun!

Couldn't have been said better! I know guys that go abroad and bring back loads of gear, they take a copy of they're personal cycle and if questioned coming back in they just produce this (which accounts for the gear they have) and all is well!!!

Oops wrong quote, i meant the one above!!!
