Do roids get a bad rep?

I’ve always been anti-legalization of weed and recently Joe Rogan said something to Ben Shapiro on his show that stuck with me: “yeah, I’d say the majority of Americans that smoke pot abuse it, but the majority of Americans abuse food!” So along those lines, I kinda have the same attitude about juice as I do about weed- I don’t have any problem with anyone I know using it, but let’s keep it illegal bc those who get arrested for it probably deserve it!
I’ve done heavy cycles and low dose cycles before and honestly like both the results and the feel of the low dose cycles better. In fact most “T-docs” will prescribe everyone one to 200mg test per week and I found 100mg/week to be the sweet spot for me.

What does doing only one cycle do?

I’d do a cutting cycle once a year for about 6-8 weeks before the summer to get lean. When I was done, I was able to maintain and keep most of my gains usually until the holidays. So it was like April-October I’d be in great shape and then November-March i’d lose it. I blame the holidays, football season, and March Madness.

That's what I was saying about dosing. A lot of the noted side effects are from people who were just mainlining stuff.

If you run crazy cycles like I've seen for Mr. Olympia guys and add GH and Insulin, yeah, that can give you sides fairly fast. If someone wanted to use them at a low dose to progressively add mass over years, much less is known.

That’s because people think just because you use PEDs you’ll end up like Rich Piana or kill your girlfriend out of a fit of rage. People want to legalize pot because it’s cool and the girls will frick you for a gram. It’s all about perception. The truth is, prohibition does not stop people from diving into their own vices. Either we give ourselves a chance to learn from it, or we stay stuck in the dark.

But muscle building stuff? That's going the other way. More and more is being scheduled, from steroids to prohormones to trying SARMS.

I think the major concern, and it’s a legit one, is that kids will start to get hold to it and that can really frick then up for life. I don’t anyone should touch that shite until they’re 25 or older.

Def need more education on it. Without that, you can get in some deep shite, especially young kids.

Yes absolutely. I like how people think its ok to smoke some marijuana but if you tell them you use roids, you are the devil.

Rather deal with a juice head than a pot smoker any day.

The big issue, is morons that don’t know what they are doing. If you are going to use them, you better know how to do a pct, you better be willing to do bloodwork every few weeks, and you better be willing to eat right so it’s actually worth it and you’ll see results. Another thing is I see people at like 21/22 start hopping on way before they ever maximize their natty potential. Just a waste IMO.

I'll say this, steroids also, if used smartly without sides, create more health positives than the drugs being discussed for legalization.

I'm 43 and have been kicking around the idea of doing a low dose Test E cycle. Essentially just above an anti aging dose for recovery, overall health and well-being. Any mild fat loss or muscle gain would be a bonus. What I don't want to deal with is supressing my natural T production and then having to do TRT for life. I also don't want to yo-yo between looking and feeling better, and then looking or feeling like shite post cycle.

I have been reading quite a bit on it and can't form a definite opinion on doing it either way because opinions vary so widely on the subject. At some point, I am going to order some HGH and do 3 or so IU of that a day.
